Minister of Children & Pastoral Care | (she/her)

Always Welcome

At Duke Memorial children are central to the life of the congregation. Our hope is that your children will not only be welcome but will become ministers in our church, worshiping and serving as full members of Christ's body.
Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. - Mark 10:14

Sunday School

Children’s Sunday School is meeting in person! 
Our Christian Education goal for children is that they will know how deeply they are loved, will begin to experience, learn, and explore stories about God, and that, as they grow, they will have a safe, nurturing space to ask questions and form their own faith.

Join us for spiritual formation, Bible stories, fellowship, and creative arts engagement, offered for babies through 5th graders each Sunday from 9:45-10:45am. 

Drop off and pick up will be in the hallway outside the Lillie Duke Room (near the Sanctuary restrooms and next to the current Nursery room).
A parent or guardian will need to sign children in and out every week.
​
If you have any questions or would like to have further conversation the offerings for children at Duke Memorial, please reach out to Pastor Jennifer at any time.

Safe Sanctuaries

At Duke Memorial, we believe that children are a gift from God.  In order to demonstrate our absolute and unwavering commitment to the physical safety and spiritual growth of all of our children and youth we have a Safe Sanctuaries Policy.  The Safe Sanctuaries Policy is a set of guidelines and procedures implemented to create an environment in which children, youth, and adults who work with them have boundaries of safe space.  All volunteers and workers with infants, children, and youth have had background checks and have received training in our Safe Sanctuaries Policies.
