Children's Ministries
Cokesbury United Methodist Church has a ministry with children based on belief in the importance of boys and girls experiencing at an early age the Christian values and faith that our church offers. Our goal is to train children for discipleship by teaching the love of God through our actions and our curriculum.

They are available in both primary and intermediate age levels. We also offer worship bags (located by the church entry way) that have items designed to help keep your child engaged during worship. These bags are designed with preschoolers through first grade children in mind, but any age child is welcome to use them.

FW Friends is held each Wednesday evening from 6:15 through 7:30 in Bullington Hall on the 9th Avenue campus. Three year olds through fourth graders gather to have a safe place to laugh, love, and learn more about God’s love. Kid’s make new friends and discover the best friend any of us can have is Jesus Christ.

A few of these are: Winter Retreat, Easter Celebration, Father/Daughter Date Night, Thrilling Thursday, Summer Camp, Vacation Bible School, Fall Festival, and Christmas Breakfast.
