Our Connected Kids Children's Ministry is devoted to creating a Christ-centered environment where children experience the love of God through everyone they meet. Our active calendar of weekly programs and special events encourage faith development and offer resources for families to grow closer to each other and God. We can't wait to welcome your family!

Celebrate the gift of God's written Word! During worship on August 30, our 3rd–5th graders will receive their own personalized Bibles as we bless them on their journey of faith!  Everyone is invited to share in the celebration by bringing a meaningful Bible to display in our Bible Gallery—a treasured family Bible, a unique or historic Bible, or one with a special story. Together, we'll celebrate how Scripture has guided generations and continues to shape our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ. Contact Holly to be part of the Bible Gallery.

 Be a Light! Become an Acolyte!
Calling all students Kindergarten and up! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a special role in worship? Here’s your chance!

Acolyte Training  --  September 13, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.

What does an acolyte do?
Acolytes have the special job of bringing the Light of Jesus Christ into our worship service. They light the candles on the altar as worship begins, as a reminder that we are called to share Jesus’ light wherever we go!Being an acolyte is a fun and meaningful way to serve, participate in worship, and be an important part of our church family.

Ready to give it a try? Come to the training and discover what being an acolyte is all about!For more information, contact Holly Carter holly@dcfumc.church

We believe it is important for families to worship together and for children to experience the traditions of the worship service. We also know, when you're little, sitting in one place for too long can be really tough! Children are encouraged to sit with their family during the beginning of worship, then at a designated time during the service, children will be dismissed for Children's Church for an energetic lesson, games, and activities. Look for a Connected Kids ministry team member to greet you before the worship service begins and answer any questions.

Children in preschool through 5th grade are invited to join us every Sunday from 10:00-10:45 am for Power Up Kids. Meeting in the upstairs Education Building, each Sunday is filled with games, friends, and scripture lessons. Come "Power Up" for your week with God!  

After Fellowship Wednesday Dinners, children in preschool through 5th grade are invited to stay for games, scripture lessons, worship, music, and more! It's a great time to pause midweek and "Recharge" with God!
