Kingdom Kids

All children are invited to Kingdom Kids in our kids room but are also welcome to remain with their parents.

Children’s Ministry

Kids are the greatest! They have such a neat way about thinking about faith. At Indian Heights UMC, our Kingdom Kids is the place kids head to on Sunday mornings (10:30-11:45am) for a time to grow their faith in a fun and creative community. During their time together, they will pray, talk about Jesus and make new friends. The children often join us for worship part-way through the service for a special “Children’s Moment”, allowing them time to participate in worship, as well as inter-generational opportunities.

Vacation Bible School

Join us for our annual summer fun as we enjoy a week of Vacation Bible School!! Watch our calendar for specific dates, as these change every year!!

Breakfast with Santa

Ho Ho Ho! Santa comes to Indian Heights on a Saturday in December to have breakfast with the kiddos! The morning includes a time for games and play, socializing, and photo ops with Santa. The adults enjoy this just as much as the kids as we are preparing our hearts for Christmas.

Community Petting Zoo

We have an annual Petting Zoo each spring and it is so much fun! Thorni Ridge Exotics brings its plethora of interesting animals, and various non-profits animal rescue organizations come to share their love of God's creatures. The event is free, family fun, and includes games, prizes, snacks and more. K.C. Wolf usually makes a presence!! Watch our calendar for dates.
