Kids & Teens

At Broadway, kids are loved ridiculously by God & by all of us.

We surround children and parents with love and support where they can experience the joy and wonder of God and the warm embrace of community.  

JoyLand:  Our Newest Addition to Sunday Worship

We invite the youngest among us to an interactive area in the right front of the Sanctuary that we call JoyLand. Here children can be a part of worship, but with a little more room to move. There is a youth helper (Emma) there each week to provide minor assistance with the children, but we also encourage adults with children to keep an ear out and an eye open to assist your child as they need you.

JoyLand is available in the Sanctuary on the 1st, 2nd, & 4th Sundays of the month.  On the 3rd Sundays we meet downstairs in Backstage at Broadway and encourage families to worship together in this informal and interactive worship setting.

Children's Message in Worship

Each week we take a special moment in worship to collectively share simple stories and lessons of the faith to help our children know they are loved by God and all of us.  

Confirmation

6th through 8th Graders are encouraged to participate in Confirmation Classes from January - April.  Students learn about the Christian faith and life through group activities, field trips, and conversations with an adult mentor.  Contact Pastor Aaron  at ahobbs@broadwayumc.org for more information.

Childcare

Currently Childcare is not available during worship.  We welcome children to worship with their parents.  Rocking chairs are available at the rear of the sanctuary for parent use, and there are Changing Stations in all restrooms.   Don't worry, we love kids and enjoy their energy.   JoyLand - a special place just for kids - is also available in the Sanctuary during worship.   

Baptism

Acolytes

2nd-12th Grade Students  are welcome to serve as Acolytes who light the altar candles during worship on a rotating basis.  Training is provided .   Contact Pastor Aaron  at ahobbs@broadwayumc.org for more information.

Summer Day Camp

Thanks for a great week of camp!  We look forward to welcoming Kindergarten - 6th Grade Students to Marrott Park (7350 N. College) to Summer Day Camp again next June.  Campers attend each day from 9:00am-3:00pm.  7th-12th Graders may also serve as Jr. Counselors during the week.
