Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them.” At Incarnation, we believe that discipleship begins as children.
 

Children’s Church

Summer 2025

Our children’s ministry is separated into three age groups: Nursery for 0-3 year olds, Little Lambs for 3-5 year olds, and Children’s Church for 1st-5th grade. We encourage youth 6th grade and up to attend the regular service as our youth meet on weeknights.

Children with Special Needs 

Incarnation has a heart for every child to feel accepted and that they belong, because they belong to Jesus. We welcome all children with all kinds of needs, and work to accommodate and include children from many backgrounds. We are experienced in welcoming children with various kinds of special needs, including physical disabilities, behavioral challenges, and children on the autism spectrum. In addition to our two class leaders in every room, we hire special needs aides in the classrooms where someone needs a little extra help and attention.

Children’s Church (1st—5th Grade)

This summer we will learn all about the church, from its very beginning to the present! Starting in June, we will spend several weeks looking at the early church as recorded in the book of Acts. As the summer progresses, we will move from there to what it means for us to be a part of the church today. What -- or rather, who -- is the church? And what is its purpose? Why do we meet every week anyway? These are a few of the many questions we will seek to answer together.

Little Lambs (3-5 year-olds)

This summer, our Little Lambs will have fellowship together around the preschooler-friendly reading of several Bible stories. They will start with creation and work their way through some of the most beloved stories of both the Old and New Testaments, ending with Jesus at the house of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus! Surrounding the story will be free play, crafts, and snack.

Nursery 

Nursery is provided to care for your 0-3 year-olds. We have trained staff who are very experienced in caring for the youngest boys and girls. We eat, draw, play, sing, and change diapers — all to the glory of God!  

We encourage you to check in younger children 5-10 minutes before the service. You are welcome to retrieve them either during the offertory music or at the end of the service.

Safeguarding

At Incarnation, we take child safety very seriously. We follow a detailed and strict policy for the safeguarding of children (and adults), created by our Diocese. Parents can deliver their children to children’s ministry with the confidence that all children’s leaders have been background-checked and trained in child-abuse prevention, and that there will always be two adult leaders in every children’s room.
