Early Childhood Ministry
Zion Early Childhood Ministry is for children ages 0-5 and their families. We want kids to know that God loves them and Jesus is their friend! God put the wiggle in children, and it is good! You are welcome here, just as you are. Join us for family-style Sunday School or a ukulele and dance class! Check back often; our offerings for young families are always changing.
- Everyone has a place at the table.
- Relationships with others are part of our faith journey.
- Baptismal promises shape our lives.

Holy Shenanigans Sunday School
Family-style Sunday School is geared towards kids ages 0-5 with an adult at 10 am on Sundays during the school year. We gather in the Chapel to hear an interactive story, learn fun songs, give thanks to God, and share our joy! After we gather, families move to our preschool classrooms to play with toys or make a craft. Community makes all the difference, so parents and caregivers attend with their children.
Sanctuary Praygrounds
Noises and wiggles are welcome in worship! The sanctuary has three Prayground areas with small tables, stools, and quiet activities.
Preschool Music and Dance Class
Kids ages 2-5 with an adult have a BLAST playing kid-sized and colorful ukuleles, singing silly songs, and learning some fun dance moves! Join us in a laid-back setting where families are welcome to be themselves.
