CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL classes are available for children ages 2 through 5th grade at 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. Children are grouped by age/grade level determined by age as of September 1.

CHILDREN'S CHURCH is offered for children 3 years old through 2nd grade during the second half of the 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. worship services. Children participate in uplifting, fun, and active worship! Preschool Children's Church is offered for 3 and 4 year olds while Early Elementary Children's Church is held for children in Kindergarten through second grade. T.L.C (Together Learning about Christ) is a new children’s education ministry whose purpose is to bring families together for a fun and exciting learning and worship time that is full of the WORD! Building a deeper relationship with Christ through singing songs of praise, listening and acting out Bible stories, sharing prayers/prayer concerns and journaling about this learning and worship experience are the goals of T.L.C. Monthly Mission Projects will also be an important component of T.L.C. where children will learn to serve others. Weekly worship time will focus on a Bible scripture. Need a little T.L.C.? Then look no further. Come join us on Wednesday evening from 5:45 to 6:25 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. The focus of T.L.C. is ages Kindergarten to the fifth grade, and ALL ages are welcome to join us in coming together as DFUMC family. Parent(s) are asked and encouraged to come and stay with their child during this time of worship. Praising God as a family together is part of the T.L.C. concept.
