We want to reach and teach your children in such a way that they have the greatest opportunity to become devoted followers of Jesus. In NextGen Kids Sunday School, your kids will worship, learn and have fun at their own level.

Volunteers are the backbone of NextGen Kids Ministry at The Woodlands Methodist Church. All of our volunteers go through a background check and a training process. We encourage our families to partner with us so that we are able to assist you in developing your child’s spiritual formation.

Children are precious to us at The Woodlands Methodist Church. We strive to make our Noah’s Nook Nursery fun and stimulating for even the youngest child coming through our door. While we realize it can be difficult to leave your child in the care of others, we want to assure you that our staff has a genuine love for the work they do.

Our Nursery is staffed by paid, experienced workers who are trained in the areas of child care, child development, safety and sanitation and certified by the American Heart Association in CPR and First Aid.

We offer a loving, Christian atmosphere. All of our rooms are safe, fun and filled with age-appropriate toys, games and books.

Our main program includes dozens of weekly volunteers to help support a small group of children. A core Early Childhood staff and interns help to organize, prepare and set up lessons and activities each week. Our young children participate in large group praise and worship where they sing songs and hear about Jesus. Volunteers oversee small groups in age specific classrooms in order to focus on the biblical truths that our children are learning. Children in our Sunday school program must be 3 years old by September 1 of the current school year.

If you have any questions, please contact NextGen Kids Ministry.

Our 1st – 4th grade Sunday School program is designed to encourage and nurture the spiritual understanding and growth of our elementary-aged children. Children are welcomed by the friendly faces of staff ministry leaders, adult volunteers and teenage interns to join us in building friendships, enjoying fellowship, singing praise and discovering biblical truths. Each year, our 3rd graders participate in Bible Sunday where they receive their own Bible during the Traditional worship service.
