"Jesus said, 'Let the children come to me. Do not stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.' He placed His hands on their heads and blessed them before He left." - Matthew 19:14-15
The children's ministry at FUMC Newport strives to provide spiritual guidance and encouragement to all children. We follow the church's ministry vision of Love, Grow, Reach, and Serve through many different ways:
~ Offering traditional Christian classroom lessons via Sunday School and Wednesday Night programs.
~ Creating fun activities to do outside our church walls to strengthen safe relationships, like summer pool parties & family outings around Newport and Cocke County.
~ Helping our children learn the importance of service and giving back is of vital importance to our ministry, as seen by participation in food pantry drives, hygiene kit packing, and mailing cards to our community's sick and shut-in residents.
