Kids and Family Ministry
Welcome! We’re glad you’re here. Our Kids and Family Ministry combines music, meditation, Bible study, discussion, and activities to help children as they walk their faith journey. We welcome all children ages 4 through 5th grade!
Erin Outson (families@saintpaulumc.org) joined our team as our Director of Kids and Family Ministry in July 2026. She is assisted by Kate Ostlund (kostlund@saintpaulumc.org), Kids and Family Ministry Coordinator.
