Welcome to Salem Kids Page!
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.

During the summer Salem UMC sponsors a kids camp for 3 evenings as their Vacation Bible School. Last year we dove deep with our Scuba theme and learned about Christ and his love for us. This year we are traveling to the True North to learn how our faith points us to Jesus. Save the date for July 28 - 30, 2026!
Salem Camp Meeting
Salem Camp Meeting
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.

Sunday School
Sunday School
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.
Nursery available for Sunday School hour with Ms. Lexi.
Pre-K class with Mrs. Stephanie.
K-2 class with Mrs. Kathy.
3rd - 5th graders meet with Mr. Don.
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.
