Bring them. All of them.
A staffed nursery for newborn through age six, two children’s Sunday School classes, and a full week of Vacation Bible School every July. And if your seven-year-old makes noise in the service — good. That’s what a church should sound like.
Sunday morning, by age
Exactly where your kids go
No guessing at the door. Here is the whole arrangement.
Nursery
A staffed nursery is open during the service. Drop them off, worship without one ear on the hallway, and pick them up afterward.
In the service, with you
Children seven and older sit with their parents in the worship service. We are genuinely not bothered by wiggling, whispering, or a dropped hymnal.
Sunday School
Two children’s classes run alongside the adult class — actual Bible teaching, at an age-appropriate level, by teachers who have been doing it for years.
Vacation Bible School
One week every summer, this building fills up with kids, and the neighbors can hear it.
Songs they will be singing in the car in September. Games. Snacks. And Bible lessons taught plainly enough that a six-year-old walks away actually knowing who Jesus is and what He did — which is the entire point of the week.
VBS is free, it is open to every child in Aston and the surrounding towns, and your family does not have to attend this church. Plenty of kids come because a friend invited them, and plenty of parents end up visiting on a Sunday because of what their child came home saying.
VBS 2027
Exact dates are confirmed each spring. Leave your name and we’ll email you as soon as they’re set — nothing else, ever.
Parent questions
The things you’d want to know first
Is the nursery staffed, and by whom?
Yes — it is staffed during the service by people from this congregation who are known to us, not by whoever happens to be free that morning. If you’d like to meet them before you leave your child, say so at the door and we will introduce you.
My child is loud. Will that be a problem?
No. Children seven and up sit in the service with their parents, and that means the room has children in it. Nobody here turns around. A church where you can’t hear a child is a church with a problem.
What gets taught in the children’s classes?
The Bible — the same Bible taught upstairs, at a level a child can follow. We teach from the Authorized King James Version. If you ever want to know what your child is being taught in a given quarter, ask and we’ll tell you plainly.
Can I sit in on the class with my child?
Of course. Parents are welcome in any children’s class, any week, without asking permission first.
Do I have to attend the church for my kids to come to VBS?
No. VBS is for the whole town. Many of the children who come each July have never been to a service here, and there is no expectation that their families start attending.
Is there a cost for any of this?
No. Nursery, Sunday School, and Vacation Bible School are all free.
For parents
The best thing you can hand your children is a settled answer.
Kids notice whether the people raising them actually believe this. If you have never settled it yourself, start here.
