Elementary
The curiosity of kids abounds. They ask deep questions about the world and how it works; wanting to know their place, their purpose, and if their perception of this vast space is aligned with what is true. Our Kids Ministry team wants to partner with you to stoke the flames of these investigative sparks you see in your child. Kids Ministry at UALC provides a safe space for kids to engage with the message of the Gospel and find that it answers all their questions about who they are and how the world is meant to be.
Contact: Melissa Davis, Kids Ministry Director (Lytham Road), or Star Bradley Kids Ministry Director (Mill Run), for questions about anything related to Kids Ministry.
Kids' Church
For PreK–5th graders
All of our Modern Worship Services offer Kids’ Church throughout the school year. Kids’ Church content follows along with the Narrative Lectionary, as do our sermons, allowing for shared family conversations after the service each week.
Mill Run has Kids' Church at both the 9:00 & 11:00 am services. Lytham Road has Kids' Church at 11:00 am. (Both campuses have PreK Kids' Church throughout the year.)
On Small Group Sundays, kids are invited to join the service for gathered worship with their parent or guardian. Prior to the sermon, kids are dismissed to grade specific small groups to build deeper friendships and discipleship conversations. On the third Sunday of each month, kids are invited to our Rally Sunday — an exciting and kid-friendly parallel service that runs the entire worship hour.

First Communion
Mill Run & Lytham Road Campus
These classes are an opportunity for children and parents to explore foundational aspects of our purpose, preparation, and participation in communion. The class is divided into two parts. The first portion is crafted to equip parents for discipleship in the home. The second session of the class is a parent and child class, aimed at hands-on learning for elementary students. This second class has been designed with second and third graders in mind; however, children second grade and older are welcome to attend with a parent.
(Note: Parents with children in Middle School should reach out to Mary Kate Hipp about the Middle School specific communion classes.)
