University Kids

Wiggle
Wonder
Worship

Welcome to University Kids—a place where faith is active, creativity is encouraged, and kids are celebrated! From first giggles to big questions, children from birth through 5th grade are invited to learn about God through play, worship, friendship, and service. Whether they’re singing, creating, listening, or moving, kids experience God’s love in ways made just for them.

At University UMC, we believe children are not just the future of the church—they are an important part of the church right now. We love children and joyfully welcome them in all worship services.

Young Children

Gentle beginnings filled with love, play, and discovery

Nursery

Children from infancy through age 4 receive nurturing care while learning through play, music, and gentle routines.

Our nursery is available during Sunday morning worship services and Bible studies (upon request), providing a safe and loving environment for your little ones.

Wiggle Church

Wiggle Church is a joyful midweek gathering for families with young children. Families share dinner, play, and worship together in Community Hall on Thursdays.

Playtime begins at 5:00pm, followed by worship at 5:30pm. It’s relaxed, fun, and designed with young bodies and hearts in mind.

Children Grades K–5

Growing faith through friendship, learning, and service

Kids’ Space

During Community Worship at 11:00am, children may choose to participate in Kids’ Space—a fun and engaging discipleship time with Bible lessons, hands-on activities, and conversation. Kids’ Space helps children build a strong foundation of faith while growing in friendship and understanding.

BLAST! (Believing, Loving, and Serving Together)

BLAST! meets once each month, usually on the second Sunday, from 12:15–2:00pm. Children enjoy lunch, games, and meaningful activities as they explore what it looks like to put faith into action through service and love.

Visit our Events page for information on the next BLAST! date.

Camp Creative

Camp Creative is a one-week day camp that nurtures children’s interest in the arts while connecting creativity with Christian faith. The 2026 camp takes place July 27–31. Children from kindergarten through 5th grade participate in age-appropriate experiences where we Wiggle, Wonder, and Worship together as we learn about God and loving our neighbors.
