LOVE GOD. LOVE OTHERS.

At BPUMC Kids, our goal is to help children from infancy through 5th grade learn who God is, how much God loves them, how they can have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, how they can grow in that relationship, and how they can share the love of God with others.

We have Sunday School every Sunday morning at 9:45AM, Children's Church every Sunday morning (except the first Sunday of the month) during both our 8:45 Traditional Worship Service and our 10:45 Gathering Worship Service , and Midweek Meetup every Wednesday night during the school year from 5:30-7:30 PM. Check out our upcoming events or sign up for our newsletter below for more information, and we'll see you soon!

We have a Child Protection First Policy in place and require a background check and child safety training for all volunteer and paid staff who work with our children.

CHILD SAFETY POLICIES

Bluff Park United Methodist Church believes that all persons are significant to the growth of God’s kingdom and should have opportunity to worship, learn, and serve in various capacities to ensure personal growth and growth of others. We seek to provide an environment that is physically, emotionally and spiritually safe for all persons who enter our doors, especially children and youth. It is our goal to be a “Safe Sanctuary” where we can work hand-in-hand growing our children and youth in their faith and a life devoted to Christ.

This document contains theological foundations, definitions of child abuse, and policies/procedures related to prevention, response, and reporting.
