Children's Ministry at Flower Mound UMC is for every child newborn through 5^th Grade student. Younger children are invited to attend our nursery with loving care-givers where they will be exposed to toddler / preschool lessons. The Children's Ministry Team consists of staff and church members who are passionate about sharing Christ's love through age-appropriate lessons, play and music. We incorporate mission work, discipleship and stewardship opportunities into lessons to teach children that they have an important role in the life of the church. Children's classes are offered on Sunday mornings and evenings at FMUMC.

Children in Worship

Children in Worship | An important component of raising children in the Christian faith is inviting them to experience worship. We welcome children of all ages in worship, wiggles and all. If, however, you need to excuse yourself there is a Family Room located in the back of the sanctuary. The Family Room can be accessed through the double doors of the Narthex across from the Nursery. Ushers will be happy to help you find the room. In the Family Room you can see and hear worship.
