Children’s Ministry

Vacation Bible School

During the summer, Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church reaches out to the community for Vacation Bible School. Throughout the year, this group of kids reunites to rekindle relationships made during that special week.

If you are interested in working with children in our church, we ask that you be certified through Safe Gatherings.

JAM (Jesus and Me) Session

Following Children’s Time at the Sunday service we invite children from pre-school age through 6th graders to join JAM session.  We offer curriculum which aligns with the adult Sunday sermon so people of all ages are studying the same scripture.

Can’t make it to church?  We offer the children’s sermon, coloring pages, worksheets all right here at this website.
