Bring the Children!
Bring the Children!
Babies, Children & Youth at FUS
Visitors are always welcome to attend Sunday School Classes. You can place children right into the programs by themselves, or stay with them in their classes until they are acquainted with the group, or take your children into service with you while you are getting to know the congregation. We want families to feel comfortable here and we're available to help with your families needs. Children and youth are encouraged to dress for activities as they would for school.
We ask that after three visits, if you plan on coming regularly, that you formally enroll your child or youth in the program by filling out the Religious Education Enrollment Form. You do not need to be a member to have your child(ren)/youth attend the Sunday School and youth program. We do ask that every child or youth have a supervising adult (this doesn't need to be the parent) on the premise while classes are in session.
