Children & Family Ministries

Picture
​Here at St. Giles, we believe that our children are an important part of our church family and distinct people who need to grow in God's grace, to love and be loved, to be nurtured and taught well. Bring your children along and let us welcome them into what God is doing with St. Giles kids.
​

Little Ones (Birth - preschool age)

We provide nursery care for your littlest babies through 2 years of age in our Caterpillar Room, located in the Church House basement. Bring them on Sundays while you attend Discipleship classes and Worship, knowing they will be well cared for by our wonderful nursery caregivers!
​Toddlers and preschoolers are welcome to spend a happy morning in our bright and spacious Rainbow Room, located in the Church House basement, anytime from 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.! There is lots of time to explore and play with age-appropriate lessons and worship woven into the morning. We provide consistent, loving nursery staff who are there every week, supported by an amazing rotation of church volunteers who are eager to love on your children! ​
​

Elementary Aged Children


​Sunday School meets from 9:30 - 10:30* upstairs in our church house in the room adjacent to the Adult Sunday School classroom. Join this warm and loving community of kids as we study the Bible and learn what it means to belong to and follow Jesus together. You'll be glad you came! 
Children ages 4 years old - 2nd grade may begin worship with their families at the 11:00 a.m. contemporary service. This is a vital time for families to begin teaching children how to worship the Lord. Please encourage them to join in praying, singing, and listening along with you. Following the children's blessing, one of our Kids Own Worship leaders will be available to take the children upstairs to room #312 from approximately 11:15 -11:45 for a time of age appropriate worship, using DWELL, by Faith Alive Resources. Children will return in time to join their families for communion at the end of the service.
​

Surviving & Thriving in "Big Church"


​Children in 3rd grade and older are invited to remain with their family throughout the entire service. We believe this is an important part of teaching our kids their place in the worshiping body of Christ.
​Here are some ways that you, their parents, can help your children survive and thrive during the worship service:
