Children & Youth

First Sunday of the Month: All ages formation (9:30-10:00am) and worship (10:15-11:15am). All are welcome to join in to this cross generational morning of learning, fellowship, and worship. Activities in formation are designed for group collaboration. Worship is led especially by young people and is a shorter version of the Episcopal liturgy of Holy Eucharist, including a children’s homily.

We are committed to provide a loving and faith-filled environment that is safe, secure, and clean. Care for children ages 3mos – 4 years is offered on Sundays 10:00-11:45am and during seasonal special events. We do take occasional breaks, like the Sunday after Christmas, and in July. Children are always welcome in worship and other spaces. We strive to offer options for families that want to worship and fellowship that fit their needs and desires. In addition to the nursery, you’ll find JJ’s rug in the church building for use during church. CHIPS (children’s homily in place of sermon) is also open to all ages during the service, though we ask a parent to accompany children under 3. To find the Nursery, enter the Ed Building, which is the brick building to the right of the white chapel, and the Nursery will be the first classroom on the left.

See our nursery packet for parents/adults to learn more about policies and procedures. Note that a registration form must be on file for any child to be dropped off. The form can be found in the packet and extras are also available in the nursery itself.

These offerings are designed to help children and youth get involved, build relationships, and grow in their faith in ways that make sense for their age and stage of life. From Sunday morning formation to youth gatherings and special events, each opportunity creates space for learning, connection, and a sense of belonging within the St. Timothy’s community.

There is a strong history at St. Timothy’s of our partnership with St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Our Redeemer Lutheran Church for Vacation Bible School (VBS) each summer. We often alternate campuses, and team up through participants, parents, volunteers and more. We always look forward to the exciting and exhausting week of fun and faith!

Children and youth are an important part of worship at St. Timothy’s, and there are plenty of ways for them to get involved. From serving as acolytes and readers to helping with music and other parts of the service, these roles give kids and teens a chance to participate in a meaningful way while building confidence and connection.

If your child or student is interested in serving, we’d love to help them get started. Sign up below or contact the church office to learn more about current opportunities.
