The Children’s Ministry at The Church of St. Michael & St. George serves children from birth through fifth grade and is based on our shared church experience as the Family of God. Our Church School program provides age-appropriate classes and services to help children from preschool to fifth grade grow in their faith.

CSMSG’s Little Sprouts Infant/Toddler Care offers childcare for our youngest parishioners, newborns to age 4, on Sundays for both the 9 AM Christian education hour and the 10 AM service.

Sunday Morning Programs for Children

Join us for classes at 9:00 AM on Sundays during the Christian education hour. Children aged 4.5 to 7 (Pre-Kindergarten through First Grade) meet for sharing Bible stories and activities based on the Godly Play curriculum. Young Disciples, (children in grades 2-3 and grades 4-5) meet for elementary-age appropriate religious education. Our program mirrors the liturgical cycles of the Lectionary (Cycles A, B & C).  Special emphasis is given to the Gospel and integrates God’s Word into a child’s faith and life.

At 10:00 AM, children meet in St. George’s Chapel for Children’s Chapel, and then join their parents in the church at the time of the Peace. Children’s Chapel gives children the opportunity to further their faith formation.

Participation in Children’s Chapel helps our kids become familiar with the life of the church. Children enjoy engaging Gospel lessons shared by our Children’s Chapel director Brett Rutledge and singing Chapel songs led by Children’s Chapel music leader Mrs. Irene Franklin.

Upon arrival, parents should stop at the Children’s Ministry check-in,  located inside the Wydown Playground entrance to print out a badge and receive directions to the Children’s Ministry classrooms. If your child does not attend Church School classes, please stop at the Children’s Ministry check-in cart to print an ID badge before entering the chapel.
