Children's Ministry

Ministry for kids ages 0 - grade 5  and their families

Mission

Our mission is to teach children about the love of Christ in a fun, interactive way that allows them to grow in faith and build relationships. 

All classes, activities, and events follow Safe Gatherings protocols, ensuring your children are cared for by trained staff and volunteers.  We ask parents to fill out and turn in registration forms for all children, available via the link below. Have or know a 6th -12th grader? Feel free to check out our Youth United!

Director of Family Ministries

Jason Chandler

Jason has called Colonial Hills UMC church home since 2015. According to Jason, “the welcoming feeling my family and I experienced when we first came here was all it took. We knew literally the first second that this was our church and where we wanted our children to learn about God.” Jason and his wife, Stephanie, have been married since 2005...
