PearlandKIDS
Child Like Faith
Here at FUMC Pearland we are committed to partnering with families to make disciples by meeting children where they are and connecting with them. Our mission is to make your child feel safe, welcomed, and loved, the same way Jesus would have us do.
Every week we use activities, videos, discussions, and experiences to help our kids develop an age-appropriate understanding of the Bible and the basic truths it holds. We hope to set the precedent that children can have fun while discovering ways to spend time with God and others in a warm and loving environment.
Birth-Preschool
Kindergarten-4th Grade
Sundays in the Nursery
All children will need to checked in at a kiosk in either the lobby of the Sanctuary or Family Life Center prior to being dropped off for Sunday programming.
Children’s Church
Parents, this is your opportunity to worship with the peace of mind that your children are learning as much as you are in their own age-appropriate way. We gather in the Nursery hallway in our respective classrooms to watch videos, make crafts, and play games relating to our weekly Bible stories. Your child will be sent home with a devotional for the week for you to continue the conversation about what we learned in class.

Worship in Motion
It’s time to take this show on the road! We’ll move to a large group room for worship songs and dancing because these growing bodies were made to move and praise the Lord. Afterwards, we may have a short recess outside on the playground or indoors with fine and gross motor activities.

What We’re Learning in the Nursery
The quest for God's kingdom begins with Jesus. Jesus told stories about God's kingdom because He wants people to know that God loves them and that God wants good things for them. When we choose to follow Jesus, we are given the amazing mission of helping to grow God's kingdom through the power of the Holy Spirit. But God's kingdom isn't a place we have to travel to. God's kingdom is everywhere God's people are. Seeking God's kingdom and inviting others to be a part of it is more valuable than anything else that we can ever own or achieve or be. God has invited us on the amazing adventure of partnering with Him to bring the kingdom now, where we live, until the time when God makes everything right and brings the kingdom fully.
BOTTOM LINE: I can be a part of God's kingdom.
"Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" -Matthew 6:10 NIV

Sundays with PearlandKIDS
All children will need to checked in at a kiosk in either the lobby of the Sanctuary or Family Life Center prior to being dropped off for Sunday programming.
Sermon Sessions
Your children will attend the first part of the service with you. When the children’s message plays on the screens, a staff member or volunteer will lead your child to the Assembly Room where we’ll watch videos, have discussions, and maybe even make a craft. Your children will be returned to you by a staff member or volunteer before the end of the worship service.

Sunday School
Before heading off to Adult Sunday school, stop by the Assembly Room to drop your kiddos off at their Sunday school. This is a time for us to have a more in-depth look at each week’s lesson. We usually play games and have open conversations about that week’s topic. You will pick up your child from the Assembly Room.

What We’re Learning in PearlandKIDS
The quest for God's kingdom begins with knowing the King, Jesus. When we choose to follow Jesus and learn to know Him more, we are given the amazing mission of helping to grow God's kingdom through the power of the Holy Spirit. It can start with the smallest thing—one choice, a kind word, an offer of help—and grow into something far bigger and more amazing than we can imagine. But seeking God's kingdom and inviting others to be a part of it is more valuable than anything else that we can ever own or achieve or be. God has invited us on the amazing adventure of partnering with Him to bring the kingdom now, where we live, until the time when God makes everything right and brings the kingdom fully.
