“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
2 Timothy 2:15
At MWC, we offer meaningful, age-appropriate environments for every stage of childhood. Our Kids Ministry is a safe, nurturing place where families can grow together and children can experience Jesus each and every week. On Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM, Kids Church for Kindergarten through 5th grade meets from September through May. They are following a chronological study of the Bible that helps children understand God’s story from beginning to end. Nursery and Jr. Church, serving children from birth through Kindergarten, are available year-round to provide consistent care and faith-filled learning for our youngest attenders.
AWANA
The mission of AWANA is simple and intentional: to help churches and parents worldwide raise children and youth to know, love, and serve God. Since 2015, Merrill Wesleyan Church has partnered with the AWANA program to support families in building a strong, Christ-centered foundation. On Sunday evenings, you can be confident your children are receiving a solid, faith-based message in a fun, engaging environment.
Each AWANA night at MWC includes game time, large group worship and teaching, and small group sessions. During small groups, children are encouraged to memorize Scripture and learn how to apply God’s Word to their everyday lives. Our AWANA leaders are dedicated volunteers from the MWC church family who have completed child protection training and State of Michigan background checks. AWANA meets Sunday evenings from October through April, 5:30–7:00 PM.
