We want to welcome you to Salem UMC Kids page! We strive to grow kids in FELLOWSHIP, RELATIONSHIPS, and TRANSFORMATION. Our program is lead by Lori Canada. As a life-long Methodist and former teacher, she has a passion to sharing Christ with our youth. Her email is lori@sumcb.org for any questions that you may have about activities or safety. Check back for the latest news for the program!
All of our children's volunteers go through the ARUMC Safe Gatherings certification. This gives our volunteers training to handle situations along with background and child maltreatment checks. Your child's safety is our utmost concern.
We always have a fun filled summer with activities for all ages. I want to encourage families to come and join us for events happening with our families and we will enjoy the company and fellowship of one another.
Salem Camp Meeting is a historical event that has been happening on our church grounds for 158 years. Activities for kids, youth, and adults are available so that we can come together for worship and fellowship. This event happens each summer for a week under the historic Arbor.
Salem UMC offers a variety of activities for all families to engage in. We enjoy having the sounds of children in service, and on our campus. We keep a full schedule and invite anyone to come to our events. Be sure to follow us on facebook for any updated information.
Each week, we have opportunities for kids to grow in Christ at Salem UMC. Sunday School is held in the children's wing each Sunday from 10 am - 10:45 am and typically follows the liturgy of the Sunday sermon.

Each class works to develop a knowledge of the Bible and foundation of their faith. The nursery strives to show God's love for everyone. Our PreK class develops a love for one another and that we can show God's love to our friends and family. We also start the foundation for Bible learning in this class. Starting with our K-2 class, our kids learn what it is to serve others. This class also learns the books of the Bible and how to find scripture. Our 3-5 class develops a deeper understanding of what the Bible stories mean to our own lives. We also go deeper in the word and understanding of the stories we have been told.
Each month our United Women in Faith participate in a reading program and share inspirational stories with the kids during sunday school. There are great ways for intergenerational love happening in our congregation.
During the school year, Wednesday nights are full of food, fun, and worship time. We start in the fellowship hall at 6:00 for Spirit Supper. At 6:30, Mrs. Lori & volunteers take the kids over to the playground to run some energy out (weather permitting) and then have worship time in the children's wing with worship songs, devotional, and a game or demonstration that goes with the lesson.
