—— Family Ministry ——
Family Ministry exists to foster connections with regular, thoughtful worship opportunities, designed for kids, on Sunday mornings and with events for families, such as Family Night at the Austin FC and Trunk or Treat, to connect to our whole church family. If you have any questions, or would like to be added to our email list, please contact the Rev. Hope Benko, our Priest for Children.
Sunday school
9:00 & 11:00 am
Family Life Center (Rm 8, Education wing)
St. Michael’s offers Christian activities and Bible lessons for children ages 3-10 (fifth grade) in the Family Life Center (Rm 8 in the Education wing) at 10:00am. Kids return to their parents in the service during the announcements.
We also offer the Gathering Room, which is adjacent to the sanctuary, for energetic children, and there are wiggle bags in the narthex with quiet play activities.
Vacation Bible Camp
Every June, St. Michael’s offers Vacation Bible Camp for children aged 4 through rising 4th graders. This weeklong, half-day camp is jam-packed with Bible-focused activities: storytelling, mission work, games, crafts, and more. The registration fee is affordable ($25/child) and scholarships are always available. Recent themes include Camp Firelight: A Summer Camp Adventure with God; Operation Restoration: Mending God’s World; and Make Waves: What You Do Today Can Change the World Around You. Registration for 2025 will open February 1.
