Christian Education for All Ages  

Williamsville United Methodist Church is committed to nurturing Christian education and fellowship in our children, youth, and adults. We view Christian education as a lifelong process of learning, understanding, believing, and implementing lessons from Scripture into our lives.

 

Judy Toone, our Director of Christian Education, coordinates educational settings such as Sunday school programs, Junior and Senior High United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF), Adult Christian Education classes, Vacation Bible School, and special mission projects. Judy views each Christian education setting as an opportunity to help people of all ages become more familiar with God's teachings and how we can live as faithful Christians in the world God has called us to serve.

 

Every week we have over 150 children, youth, and adults who participate in some form of Christian education either on Sunday morning or during the week. At WUMC, we offer Christian education classes for ages 3 through 99+!

 

Visit the Children's Christian Education page of this Web site to learn more about classes, events, and special projects planned for this dynamic age group. On the Sunday School for Children and Youth page, you will learn more about the creative and exciting ways our children and youth are growing together in faith! Be sure to visit the Children's Christian Education Photo Album page to see photo of the special events hosted by the Children's CE Department for kindergarten through 4th graders throughout the year.

 

We have an active United Methodist Youth Fellowship program for both junior high and senior high youth. Check the Junior High Youth Group and Senior High Youth Group pages to stay up-to-date on the latest meetings, announcements, and events for these groups. You can also find out about the interesting classes and Bible studies for adults on the Adult Christian Education page.

 

Be sure to pick up a Christian Education brochure located in the rack in the narthex to find the class that's just right for you. Also, feel free to call Judy Toone at 634-4800 for more information. Please join us whenever you can - our doors are always open!
