CHILDREN
Wesley’s Children’s Ministry offers a welcoming space for children and families to grow in faith, experience God’s love, and connect with our church community. We host Sunday School, holiday events, intergenerational activities, mission projects, and more. Your family is always welcome at Wesley UMC! For questions, please contact the church office or the director of Children’s Ministry—we look forward to meeting you.
Children’s Sunday School meets in person every Sunday for children ages 4 through 6th grade in Room 102 downstairs. We offer age-appropriate lessons and activities. Click HERE to register for Sunday School 2024-2025. Please note, if your child is currently attending Sunday School, please complete a registration form.
Nursery is staffed with professional staff and offers care for infants through age 3 during our 10:00 worship service. We’re delighted to have little ones in our services and welcome their joyful noises! However, if your child would enjoy some playtime, our Nursery in Room 105 (just below the Sanctuary) is always available and ready to welcome them.
Vacation Bible School: We can’t wait for VBS! Wesley’s VBS is an unforgettable week for kids ages 4 through rising 6th grade, packed with music, laughter, games, Bible adventures, and surprises around every corner. Join us for a week of faith, fun, and friendship! To stay updated, email us at vbs@wesleyvienna.org —we’d love to keep you in the loop!
Holiday Celebrations: We are always excited about holidays! We celebrate our Lord’s resurrection on Easter Sunday with brunch, worship, and traditional egg hunt. During Advent, we prepare to celebrate Jesus’ birth with special Sunday School lessons and a family Christmas Eve service.
Next Generation Ministries: We believe in empowering the next generation to grow in faith, build friendships, and serve others. For more details, check out our Next Generation Ministries Brochure. We can’t wait for you to join us on this amazing journey of faith!
Family Mission Opportunities you can participate:
- Wesley’s Annual Coat Drive: Each November, Wesley collects donations of coats and sweaters for homeless and needy people in Northern Virginia. There are many ways for children and their parents to help with this intergenerational mission.
- Kits for Conference: Each June, the Children Ministry participate to assemble a hygiene kit and flood bucket for the United Methodist Committee on Relief to deliver to school children in need, both in the USA and abroad.
- Rise Against Hunger: Wesley kids join in assembling nutritious meal packages for Rise Against Hunger, a global nonprofit dedicated to ending hunger and providing food to those in need, which helps the kids dedicate their time and effort to making a positive impact in the lives of others while learning the value of service and compassion.
