We love children and have a variety of ways they can participate in the church. We strive to have a healthy, safe, and fun learning environment for our children to grow in knowledge and faith.

NEUMC offers year-round activities such as Sunday School and Lamb’s Corner for children. We also offer annual events such as Trick or Treat in the Patch and Vacation Bible School.

Year-Round Programs and Activities

Sunday School

Sunday School is offered each Sunday morning at 9:00AM, in the Education Building.

Children’s classes are offered beginning at age 2 through 5th grade. Class levels are based on a child’s grade as of the current school year.

We provide a loving, safe environment and age-appropriate lessons on faith.

Nursery

Our nursery is available during Sunday School, and during the 10AM worship service for newborns through age 3.



More information about our church nursery can be viewed here.

Lamb's Corner

During each Sunday morning service, Lamb’s Corner is offered as a short, engaging lesson for our children.

During the service, a church leader will invite children down to the front of the sanctuary to learn about faith.

 

Vacation Bible School (VBS)

NEUMC offers an exciting Vacation Bible School every summer. Curriculums vary year to year and volunteers are always welcome to the church to assist with setup, each night of VBS, and other VBS related activities as needed.



VBS takes place over a few nights and ends with a church-wide party. VBS students are also encouraged to share what they’ve learned in the Sunday worship service following the week of VBS.

2024’s VBS, Breaker Rock Beach, has already completed. Please stay tuned for information on VBS 2025!

Other events for children, such as Trick or Treat in the Pumpkin Patch, are announced on our homepage. They can also be viewed here on our calendar.

Safe Sanctuary Policy



Each United Methodist Church in South Carolina is required to have a Safe Sanctuaries Policy which is reviewed annually by the Church Council. The purpose of the policy is to ensure congregations are safe places where children, youth, and vulnerable adults may experience the abiding love of God and fellowship within the community of faith.
