About Hilldale UMC KIDS

At Hilldale UMC our kids (infant through 5th grade) experience safe, age-appropriate environments where they learn about Jesus in a creative and explorative way. 


Childcare and nursery are now available during both services at 8:30 and 11:00am! Our nursery (infant through two) and PreK (three and four) is staffed by CPR certified caregivers. Everyone who works with children, youth, and at-risk adults must complete and pass our "Safe Sanctuaries" training as well as a national background check.


Children of all ages are always welcome to join service with their parents. Children ages infant-PreK can be dropped off in our nursery or Pre-K rooms before or during service. Children age Kindergarten-Fifth Grade will begin service with their parents. About one-third of the way into the worship service we will have a "Children's Moment" with our Children's Director. After the "Children's Moment", our children can head to Children's Church or choose to remain seated with their parents for the remainder of the service.


Parents are always invited to go with their children to Children's Church to see the space, talk to teachers, and understand the program. We want you to feel comfortable that your children are safe at Hilldale!!



What about masks and social distancing?

At Hilldale UMC, we believe in Loving God, Loving People, and Making This World a Better Place!


With prayer and these sources as our guide, we ask all attendees to honor the following guidelines that care for our most vulnerable and wider community:


  • Due to the new county safety measures, masks are expected at all of our services. Please wear a mask as you enter and exit the building, and at your table or seat during Open Worship unless you are eating, so that the service, community spaces, and walkways are safer for all those in attendance.


We would love to meet you & your children when you visit Hilldale UMC! Let us know you are new when you arrive and we will make sure you get to meet our Director of Children's Ministries and Pastor!

Special Needs

Every child is precious and beloved by God. For those children who have special needs, from allergies to sensory sensitivities, we are ready to work with your family in providing a safe and engaging environment for your entire family to experience the Grace of God.


Contact our Children's Director through the form below and we would love to walk through your family's needs and how we can show your child the all encompassing love of God!
