Children’s Church is available during the 11 a.m. worship during the sermon. Our Director of Christian Education, Beth Fultz, will lead the children through a Bible Story in the chapel; join her in the Narthex after the Gospel Reading. Children return during the second hymn. 

Child care is offered every Sunday morning from 9:25 through noon during the Sunday School hour and 11 a.m. worship. Our dedicated nursery workers, Miss Beatriz and Miss Maria, have years of experience with the children of St. Stephen. They welcome children 5 years and younger to the Pre-K Room (#136) or Nursery Room (#117).

CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS

CHOIRISTERS

The St. Stephen Choristers is a choir for children grades 4–8 that rehearses weekly and follows a training program using the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) curriculum. This rewarding program not only includes rehearsal of church music and basic music training, it also encourages leadership, achievement, and faith formation.

Rehearsals are held each Wednesday evening during the academic year from 5:00–6:00 pm in the Choral Rehearsal Room (upper level of the Education Building).

If you’re interested in registering your child for choristers, email Organist & Director of Music Ministries Jordan Smith:

HOLIDAY SERVICES

Throughout the year, St. Stephen focuses on providing special holy worship services for children and families to help them understand the liturgical importance of Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and birth of Christ on Christmas Eve. It is our hope that children will learn to grasp the meaning of penitence, communion used in the Last Supper and birth of the messiah at these events.

CHRISTMAS EVE

Christmas Eve at 5:00 p.m. is our annual children and family service. The Children’s Choir sings and all children are invited to be a part of the nativity play in costume during the service.  “Silent Night” is sung in candlelight at the end. Hot Chocolate and cookies are offered after the worship service.

CHILDREN'S CHOIR

The Children’s Choir is for children Pre-K–3rd grade. This choir is led by our talented Director of Christian Education, Beth Fultz, who has extensive experience working with children and music. Songs learned by rote along with fun and games can be expected in this choir. The Children’s Choir sings once a month during worship.

Rehearsals are held each Wednesday evening during the academic year from 5:00–5:45 pm in the Children’s Choir Room (upper level of the Education Building).
