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!

We want your child to come for Summer Camp at Warren Willis United Methodist Camp and Conference Center!  Summer camp is open to students that will be entering 4th grade (2026/27 school year) through high school.  

Camp is coming to DCFUMC on February 25, after Wednesday Fellowship Dinner.  A representative from Camp will be here to share ALL the amazing opportunities that Camp has to offer and answer ALL your questions.  We hope to see you there!

Help us welcome visitors to Dade City's famous Kumquat Festival! We will be offering parking in our church lots for a donation toward our children and youth summer camp scholarship fund. If you would like to volunteer to help with parking, please contact children@dcfumc.church.
Kumquat Festival
Sunday, March 8
9:00am - 5:00pm

We will be having a special combined evening worship service on Sunday, March 8. With the rescheduling of the Kumquat Festival to a Sunday morning, we will not have worship in the morning, when it may be more difficult for congregants to navigate the increased traffic. Instead we will have worship at 5:30pm in the Sanctuary and invite Kumquat Festival goers to join us!
Combined Worship on Sunday, March 8
5:30-6:30pm in the Historic Sanctuary

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!
