KIDS Ministry

Our NextGen staff continually evaluates our programming with the health and safety of our Youth and Leaders in mind. In response to the Governor’s new recommendations, we have returned to mostly virtual programming. Please watch the website and your weekly youth emails for programming updates.

Grow with us.

Children's Ministry at Woodlake UMC is a great place for children to make friends, have fun and grow in their faith in Jesus Christ in an environment that makes them feel welcome, safe and loved.

What is Woodlake Kids?

Woodlake Kids is the children’s ministry of Woodlake UMC for children ages birth through 5th grade. Each child who comes through our doors is important to us and will be cared for by loving staff and volunteers who seek to connect with them and their families. Children will be taught to explore their faith while learning what it means to take their next step in following Jesus.

Follow our weekly WoodlakeKids News emails for updates to these activities.

Sometimes this will be a physical bag of materials you can pick up and other times it might be a packet you receive by mail. We also include these activities in your weekly emails.

Wisemen Gifts

Like the Wisemen brought gifts to baby Jesus, you have gifts you can share also. What is something that is unique and special about you, what is your gift? Drawing? Singing? Helping others? Whatever it is, use it to help or celebrate others just like the wisemen did. Have your parents take a video of you talking about your gift and how you plan to use it to help/celebrate others. Don’t forget to post it to the Woodlake UMC Children’s Ministry Facebook page!
