The Children's programs at St.Elmo UMC involve sharing God's love, teaching Bible lessons which involve a great deal of teamwork that promotes working together. The children develop their music skills while performing in dramas, singing in a choir and playing children's hand bells. They learn to become aware of their environment and look at how they can make a difference in this world through the love of Jesus Christ. This group is very diverse which only adds to its uniqueness as they grow spiritually in the Lord.
