Children | St John's UMC ABQ

Children & Families

We believe in loving God and loving others. We believe that the Bible should never be boring, worship can be fun, and that relationships are key. We want kids to be a big part of our United Methodist Church family which is filled with adventure, love, hope, and joy in the midst of everyday life. Children are invited to worship with us at all our services, but especially our 9:30am and 11am services where they can join us for the beginning of worship, and then be released for a special Children's Worship time. Read more about our Children's Worship and our Nursery Care, available for children 2 years old and under.

Children's Worship

Children's worship is available at the 9:30 and 11 a.m. services following the offering. Children join their families in the first part of worship and then go to the children's chapel (Room 234) to enjoy worship in the ways that kids experience their world: through play, art, music, fun, creativity and friendship. If you are unable to attend worship this week, we have video lessons that follow along with what we're learning during Children's Worship each Sunday. Click here to see this month's video lessons.

Nursery Care

Nursery is provided at the 9:30 and 11 a.m. services in room 236 upstairs. Click here to learn more about our Nursery, and see our safety procedures.

We are always looking for adults who love kids, are wanting to be 'adopted grandparents,' or others to help in the nursery. If you are interested, please contact Pastor Tiffany at thollums@stjohns-abq.org.

Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School is held in June, from 9:00 a.m.—12:30 p.m. each day. Registration opens March 1st.
