Ministry for
Kids, Teens & Tweens
A fun, safe space to grow and learn
As United Methodists, the Urban Abbey teaches a shared method of engaging the hands, heart, and head in the life of faith. Our events offer tools for children, teens, and young adults to study, reflect, and center as they grow spiritually. Email us for more information or to get involved.
One-Room Sunday School House (ages 3+)
Sunday school is meant to be an engaging activity where kids learn and grow into their true selves, not a stodgy class they resign themselves to attending. At the Urban Abbey, Sunday school involves play, scripture, art, songs, Yoga, and all kinds of stories. The curriculum is relevant to the world around us, so kids have a framework for modern life.
We make a safe space to nurture the seeds of resilience in each soul and give skills for centering, praying, reflecting, thinking and discerning — rather than rules to learn and scriptures to memorize. We celebrate and support each student and never limit imagination or possibilities. Curriculum invites empathy, compassion, and critical thinking.
Youth Group (Middle / High School
Middle School and High School Folxs are welcome to explore the three C’s…Christinaity, Civic engagement and Crafts. Join us once a month to ask questions, wonder, think and work for social justice in this progressive and inclusive community.
