Children’s Ministry at Asbury is a special place where children are shown the love of Jesus through Bible lessons, Music, Games, Activities and Special events. Background-checked paid and volunteer adults provide care and faithful teaching of Gods word.
We consider Ministry to Children a very high priority and consider it a privilege and an honor to serve God’s precious ones!
At Asbury Methodist Church, the safety and well being of every child and student is one of our highest priorities. We are committed to providing a Christ centered environment where children and students can grow in their faith while being cared for, protected, and respected.
All staff and volunteers who serve with children and students at Asbury are required to follow Ministry Safe policies, complete Ministry Safe certification, and get background checked prior to serving. This training and certification helps ensure that everyone working with our young people understands appropriate boundaries, supervision practices, and how to recognize and report concerns.
By following Ministry Safe standards, Asbury Methodist Church is committed to creating a safe, supportive, and trusted environment for every family. For questions about our Ministry Safe policies or serving opportunities, please contact our Ministry Safe Admin and Children's Ministry Director, Susan Francis at susan.francis@asburycc.org .
