Welcome Butler Kids and Parents!
Our kids' class on Sundays is during the 11AM hour for kids 1-6th grade. (Children will be dismissed from the 10:45AM worship services.)
Welcome to our new children's ministry director, Kim Garcia! She is working with our children's ministry team to plan fun activities and lessons! Preschool class will also be offered as volunteers are able to be scheduled. If you're able to volunteer on a Sunday, once a month, let a Kim know!
Sunday AM Sign In Steps
Parents: On Sunday mornings at the Welcome Table, you'll notice an opportunity to sign in kids for children's ministry that day. Then they'll be ready to join the children's ministry leader when dismissed from the service!
Look for the clipboards when you enter, or sign in during the greeting time. After the service, please personally pick up your child and sign them out.
This process is being put in place because of our commitment to safe spaces for kids & families, and so we can incorporate more volunteers on our children's ministry team. Thanks!

More about Sunday mornings
Some Sundays there will also be a table in the sanctuary with activity pages for the kids to do while in service. Many of these connect with our lesson and we will soon have the kids share the verse, or big idea, or activity page in our service. We're looking forward to being together!
Note: If your child is sick, we encourage you to enjoy Church Online at home, or keep them with you in the service. Thanks!
Children's Ministry Update
Thank you to all who helped restock our classroom supplies and volunteered to join our teaching/helping team.
Read below for more on volunteering, donating supplies, and info for parents. For any questions talk with our Children's Ministry Director, Kim Garcia. Thanks!
Volunteers
Each morning during the 10:45 services our Children’s Ministry tries to make available two children’s classes – a “Littles Class” consisting of children 2-years – 5-years-old; and our “Elementary Class” for children in 1st-6th Grade. To keep our children and volunteers safe, we are required to have at least two volunteers while these classes are in session. The goal, then, is to have a minimum of four volunteers each Sunday, a total of 16 people. There’s an old saying: “Many hands make light work.” Would you consider teaching or helping during our second services once-a-month? If there is a Sunday when the doors are closed, it is because we are lacking volunteers. Please consider helping so we can keep our classrooms open.
Supplies
You are welcome to join us in restocking our classrooms! Just check with our children's ministry director on current needs. You can also donate financially to the Butler Church general budget, indicating SUPPLY in the memo. Thank you!
Note for Parents
We have updated our check-in and check-out procedures. Our goal is to create a safe place for your child so please complete your parent card (if you have not done so already) and check your child(ren) in and out each Sunday. Currently our Children’s Welcome Table is in the foyer for Common Ground and at the back counter for Amor y Fe.
If you have any questions, please talk with Kim Garcia!
It is our hope that the resources on this page will empower parents to take an even more active role in the spiritual training of their children. If you would like a printed copy of the lessons or supplies for the suggested crafts, please talk with a children's ministry volunteer or contact the church office and we can make arrangements on how to get it to you.
[Butler Church is currently seeking to add to our ministry team & has an open Children's Ministry director position. For more details, contact Pastor Connie Nicholson before August 19!]
