Guests are always welcome at Webster United Methodist and children are encouraged to participate in the group activities on their first visit. Parents also are welcome to visit any of the children’s programs. All of our Children’s Ministry volunteers and leaders are certified in the Safe Sanctuaries policies and guidelines adopted by the Missouri Conference of the United Methodist Church and undergo regular background checks through the state of Missouri.

Living Stones Children's Ministry
10:45-11:30 a.m., Sundays through the school year
Ages 4 through fifth grade
Children join their parents to begin the worship service in the sanctuary at 10:30 a.m., and then are invited to head downstairs for a fun-filled hour of learning called “Deep Blue,” which helps children incorporate Bible stories, characters and passages into their lives. Activities include arts and crafts, science projects, animated video storytelling, and active games as part of a lived-faith experience.
Every first Sunday of the month, children return to the sanctuary at the end of the service to participate in Holy Communion with their faith family.
Every fourth Sunday of the month, children remain in the sanctuary for the youth-led service.
