Children and Families

“Let the little children come to me…” — Matthew 19:14

At Tuckahoe, kids discover a church where they belong, are loved, and learn to follow Jesus together with caring adults.

Little Lights (ages 4–11)

When: Sundays, September–May

Where: Education Wing (dismissed after Time with Young Disciples)

Children head out together for an engaging Bible time using a blend of Mini Revolutions (lectionary-based, simple, inclusive) and Godly Play (wonder-based, Montessori-informed storytelling). Ushers can help you find rooms; nursery care for 4 and under is available.

Parents: Please complete a Children’s Ministry registration form each year.

Serve with Kids (every Sunday)

We need two kinds of helpers on the same morning:

  • Children’s Sunday School • 9:15–10:15 AM
  • Little Lights • during worship (following Time with Young Disciples)

We suggest choosing a set Sunday each month (e.g., 1st Sundays) or picking dates that fit your schedule. Simple lesson plans and staff support provided. Youth helpers are welcome! Email Jillian Gatewood

Notes on the curricula

  • Mini Revolutions is an intergenerational, lectionary-based monthly curriculum designed for flexible, real-church contexts—simple, inclusive, and justice-rooted.
  • Godly Play is a contemplative, Montessori-influenced method that invites children to wonder and make meaning in God’s story.
