Grounding our children in the deep love of Jesus

We believe that kids need space to explore the Bible, ask big questions, and allow their understanding of God and faith to grow with them along the way. 

We want every child to know that God loves them 100 percent!

Inspiring children to love Jesus

Union Church Seattle is a safe, welcoming place for families and we seek to engage and inspire children by sharing the love of Jesus. It is our mission to participate with the Holy Spirit to be a life-giving, transformational presence in the lives of the children in our community, encouraging them to be externally focused, internally alive and eternally connected. 

  • We serve a Great God. This God has created us, pursued us, loves us and made a way for us to be in relationship with Him forever. This Great God has a purpose for all of us, and we can be a part of that purpose. Our children are invited to become a part of the Big God Story as they learn the stories in the Bible, see how God has worked in the past, and discover how to listen to God’s leading.  

  • A living, breathing relationship with God often begins by being in relationship with God’s followers. On Sundays we seek to introduce our children to a dynamic relationship with Jesus, in an age appropriate manner through encountering the stories of the Bible and by sharing how God is working in our lives. Through this we hope our children will desire to investigate this God that we love, and to choose to start a relationship with Him who loves them far more than we know.

  • Children are not just the “future of the church,” they are an active part of our current church community. Children are invited to worship with and be a part of the larger faith community. In addition, part of becoming a follower of God is being aware of the world and the people around us. Empathy is a learned behavior which can be taught at an early age through sharing and caring for each other. As children grow, they will learn to share their resources and care for those they encounter with the love of Christ.
