Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them.” At Incarnation, we believe that discipleship begins as children.
Vision for Children's Ministry: Invite, Include, Instruct.

Children’s Church
Spring 2026
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)
During the fall, we looked at many Old Testament examples of God’s faithfulness to His people. This spring, we turn to the New Testament, to see God keeping His promise to send a Savior! We will spend each week looking at the life of Jesus and all that He said and did to show His love for us.
Little Lambs (preschool—kindergarten)
This spring, the Little Lambs will focus their attention on the amazing power of Jesus. On one day they will see Jesus give some fishermen a miraculous catch of fish, on another they will hear of Him telling the wind and waves what to do, and yet on another glorious day they will witness Him do something totally amazing with a little boy’s lunch. Ultimately, they will learn about Jesus’ biggest display of power in rising from the grave!
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.
