Good Samaritan’s children’s programs cultivate a joyful community of families engaged in high quality programs, faith, fellowship, spiritual fulfillment and mission.
The children’s ministry serves children from birth through 6th grade and their families.
Our facilities include a nursery, gym, and Methodist Sunday School lessons in our classrooms, and our church library has children’s material and chairs for reading. There are donuts and lemonade served after each service on Sundays in the Fellowship Hall.
During the school year, we offer Sunday School and Sunday afternoon Youth Group (beginning with 6th grade). During Advent season, there are family-friendly services. In the Summer, we offer traditional and adaptive Vacation Bible Camp.

Building Faithful Families
We all have such crazy schedules. Making it to church can sometimes be difficult. To help you build your family’s faith, each month we will have a new resource for you to try at home with your family. These resources don’t need a theology degree, just a desire to be come closer as a family and to strengthen your family’s spirituality.
For January, we have Prayer and Conversation Cubes that will be available for pick-up this Sunday on the Welcome Table in the Narthex. Or Jan can email it to you! Let her know at jan@good.org if you would like a copy.
Something New
- Come See Me! Our lives are so busy with activities that sometimes we don’t always make it to Sunday Worship. To help build our community, it is important to get to know each other. If your student has a concert, big game (or little!), or some other awesome event coming up, send an email to Jan@good.org and I will put it on my calendar and bring your church family too!
- Come See Me Update! Hudson’s last baseball game of the season was AWESOME! Great hits, great base runs…when he is allowed to steal bases, this kid is ready! Who can I come see next?
If you are interested in attending any of our youth’s events let me know!
