Children’s ministry at Peace Lutheran Church helps children understand God’s unconditional love for them in Jesus, shares God’s love and encourages children to grow spiritually, cultivates caring relationships with adults who pass on the faith, and gives children opportunities to serve their community. Our desire is that every young person feels welcome, safe, and loved.
Our Children’s programs are best suited for Elementary aged children. We have Sunday School Classes that break out into smaller groups by age. We offer nursery care for children ages 4 and under during 11 AM worship. Children are welcome at Peace! We are a small church that invites children to experience worship with the adults, while also offering age appropriate programming. Parents and guardians are welcome to join their children in the nursery or children’s worship time.
Peace has made a commitment to anti-racism and justice. You can read more about this on our anti-racism page. Children’s ministry is working through an equity lens when choosing curriculum for our children. We have been using MiniRevolutions from Illustrated Ministry. We aim to represent our diverse community through the imagery, language, and spaces we create in our classes.
If your child is interested in joining any of these programs, please contact Jayna Detweiler, Coordinator of Children, Youth & Family Ministry at jayna@peacetacoma.org.
Godly play is a class for children ages 4 through 3rd grade. Godly play opens children up to experience the wonder of God’s love expressed in Bible stories and to respond with creativity and reflection. Learn more about this Montessori story telling style here.
Children’s Choir
3rd Sunday of the month during 11 AM Worship
Children that come to Children’s Worship time regularly learn and sing worship songs. Each month a song is practiced regularly to be sung when children return to the sanctuary before communion during 11 am worship.
After the scripture readings in the sanctuary, children are invited to follow the children’s worship leader into a different space where they experience a child-oriented worship time. Children return to the sanctuary in time to participate in Holy Communion. Snack is often provided, please let the leader know if your child has any allergies.
Kids of all ages and families, come for a Bible-times adventure! Start by sharing a meal. Enjoy fun activities. Learn about God’s love for us in Jesus! Visit the marketplace shops, featuring crafts, music, and food. Free! Many youth and adult volunteers make this happen!
