Children’s Ministry at Ascension

At Church of the Ascension our kids (infant through 5th grade) experience safe, age-appropriate environments where they learn about Jesus in a creative and relevant way.

We would love to see you and your family join us.

Your first visit

Here’s what to expect when visiting Ascension for the first time:

When you arrive, look for someone wearing a black T-shirt with the words “Kids Team Member” on the front. You can usually find them in the Main Entrance Area (called the Narthex)). We would love the opportunity to meet you and get to know your family a little!

One of our team members will welcome you, answer any questions you may have, and give you a brief overview of what to expect during our Children’s Ministry time. We’ll also share any special announcements or details for that particular Sunday so you and your children know what to expect. If it is your first time visiting us we will ask for some information, like a phone number or email to keep in contact. 

Our goal is to help your family feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home from the moment you arrive. We look forward to meeting you!

What will my child experience?

At Ascension, our dedicated adult and youth volunteers serve monthly to build strong bonds with our children and genuinely desire to see them grow in faith. Many of them are parents and grandparents within our parish, and all volunteers go through a rigorous background check and child safety training.

We study the Bible at an age-appropriate level while following the lectionary so children hear the same scriptures as the adults in service. Sunday programming is a fun and safe environment where children see friends, learn about Jesus, and participate in games and activities to reinforce the lesson.

Children are picked up and brought to service so they may celebrate Communion with their families. Children often have a take-home page or a craft and are excited to share what they’ve learned!

Children’s Ministry & Nursery

We offer Children’s Ministry programming for children ages 3–15 during both services. For our youngest children, nursery care (under age 3) is available during the 10:45AM service only.

We also have a Parent Viewing Room, known as the Cry Room, available for parents with infants and young children who would like a more private space to move around while still being able to participate in the service.
