Welcome to Children's Ministries
Make First Church of Christ in Wethersfield your family's faith home!
Guided by our Core Values, we support children through:
- Wholehearted Worship: Loving God deeply, rooted in His profound love for us.
- Intergenerational Community: Creating a space where kids love to spend time and connect with all generations.
- Compassionate Mission: Looking outward to serve, support and include those around us.
- Healthy Discipleship: Learning how to live and walk like Jesus.
Our prayer is that students build a strong faith, make lifelong friends, and step boldly into the future knowing they belong to Christ.
Jesus said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.
-Matthew 19:14
Pumpkin Fest 2026!
Saturday, October 17th | 4:00-5:30 PM
Join us for Pumpkin Fest 2026! This year we moved things a bit earlier. Come enjoy the Scarecrows on Main and then stop by to enjoy the Firepit, a Fall Snack, Self-Serve Photo Area, and a Pumpkin Patch (while supplies last) complete with space to decorate your special gourd. Weather permitting everything will be outside on the Church Lawn. We hope to see you there!

WHO'S INVOLVED?
Every Sunday morning our faithful volunteers provide a fun, Bible based class experience for kids from birth through fifth grade where they can learn about Jesus and connect with each other.
Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our ministry. Every volunteer who serves in the Children's Ministry has completed a background check and is committed to helping the kids grow in their Christian Faith.
Is God placing Children's Ministry on your heart?
There are so many ways to be involved in making this wonderful Faith Building Community come to life. There are opportunities to be in the classroom, provide support for the teachers, help with events, organize and tidy, or greet families and help them find their way to the Sunday School Rooms. We would love for you to join us!! For questions, email Megan at children@firstchurch.org or fill out the Interest Form below.
