Children’s Ministry
At OUMC, we understand how children are the foundation of tomorrow’s church, even today’s church! Our Lighthouse Kids program and activities help them embrace the love of God and understand the teachings of the Bible and how these tenets apply to their lives. OUMC offer children’s Bible classes for ages three through twelve and nursery care for infants.
Lighthouse Kids – Infants (0 – 24 months)
Loving care in a safe setting is provided in the OUMC nursery on an as-needed basis every Sunday morning during the Sanctuary service. For more information, contact (252) 249-0213 or orientalumc@orientalumc.org.
Lighthouse Kids – Preschool to 1st Grade (3 – 7 years of age)
Preschool-aged children learn about the Bible in a fun environment during Children’s Church for 3- to 7-year-olds at OUMC. Videos, games, music and crafts keep younger members of the congregation engaged during Children’s Church, which is held every Sunday morning during the Sanctuary service. Children leave the sanctuary to attend class after the Children’s Time with the pastor. For more information, contact: (252) 249-0213 or orientalumc@orientalumc.org.
