Welcome to Children's Ministry
Welcome to St. Andrew’s Children’s Ministry! Like Jesus, we cherish and love children. We also know childhood is a crucial time for faith development. Please accept our warm invitation for your kids to join us for a host of exciting, fun and purposeful Christ-centered activities throughout the year.

Children entering kindergarten through entering fifth grade will be in a large group format in Room F and preschool children (ages 3-4) will be in Room C in a traditional Sunday school format. Children will go to the class according to the grade that they will be starting in the fall.
Upcoming Events

The choir will not meet June & July.
The St. Andrew’s Children’s Choir provides a fun and creative way to get children excited about singing! Our program is led by Kylie Shelton.
Rehearsals are Sunday Mornings from 10:30 am – 11:15 am in Room F (lower level of the SW campus).
All children ages 4 years – 5th grade are invited to join.
SAPC Kids
Sunday School is a very important part of our children’s ministry. We are gifted with wonderful and loving teachers, assistant teachers and staff who love the LORD and love children.
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.
Contact Heather Brannock at hbrannock@sapctucson.org if you have any questions.

Holy Molies (4th & 5th Graders)
Paused for the Summer (June-July)
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.
March 22: God understands when you’re misunderstood
April 19: God will help you when have doubts
May 17: Pool Party and Potluck

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.
