Where do my kids go when we come to church on a Sunday morning?
Sunday School is offered for children ages 2 (by September 1, 2022) through 5th grade during the 9:00 am services in the lower level below the Sanctuary on the SW campus.
At the 9:00 am Service, children begin the service with their parents in worship, and are invited to go downstairs to attend Sunday School after the Children’s Message time.
Sunday School is offered during our 10:45 am Service for children in kindergarten- 5th grade. Children may go immediately to their classroom prior to the start of the service.
Nursery Care is provided downstairs as well. There is a comfort room located in the back of the Sanctuary if your infant needs comforting during the worship service.

Holy Molies (4th & 5th Graders)
Fourth and fifth graders are special kids. They’re not quite old enough for Youth Ministry, but they like to do some of the same things as teens. So, we’ve created a club just for them. They call themselves the “Holy Molies.” They meet in Room F on the third Wednesdays of the month from 6:00–8:00 p.m. They always eat dinner together. Then after a short but powerful Bible study, they play crazy games. After that they do some type of mission/service project.
Holy Molies are encouraged to bring fourth and fifth grade friends from their neighborhood or school. Director Heather Brannock is the leader of the group, but parent volunteers are needed each meeting to help with dinner and games. Look for monthly reminder emails or below to find out themes and special activities.
Super Friends - A Special Needs Ministry
Super Friends is the special needs ministry at St. Andrew’s. We invite families with children with special needs to attend a parent support group. Some of these families are outside of our St. Andrew’s community. We will be meet once a month in Sunday School Rooms from 10:30 am to 11:15 am.
Durning the summer months, Super Friends invites you to join us in our summertime activities! These activities are open to everyone in the St. Andrew’s community. All activities will take place in the afternoons. Look for more information coming as we get closer to the events.
Contact Heather at hbrannock@sapctucson.org for more information.
