Hello! I am so excited you are interested in learning more about our Children's Ministry at Fleming Island UMC. You could quite possibly be meeting me for the first time and will ever only know me as Katie Strickland. However, many in our church know me as Katie Perry (my maiden name). That is because I grew up at Fleming Island UMC. I can genuinely say that this church and the people here hold a special place in my heart, and it all started when I was a kid! I want nothing more for this church and this children's ministry to be the special place for you and your child as it has been for me.

I started serving as the Children's Minster in August 2022. My husband Dusten and I were married in April 2015 at Camp Chowenwaw (Green Cove Springs). We have two young children: Henry and Addie, along with a dog, two chickens, a bunny, and a fish. It is safe to say that I pretty much live in a zoo!

A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM GENESIS ON CREATION & EARLY HUMANITY

SERIES OVERVIEW:
Whether it’s with LEGO bricks, Minecraft, or Roblox, kids (and adults!) love to make things — and sometimes break them. In this four-week series from the very beginning of the Bible, we’ll compare God’s ability to make good things with our tendency to break them. Through the stories of creation, the fall, Cain and Abel, and the Tower of Babel, we’ll see that God makes good things, unbreaks what’s been broken, and made us different on purpose, so we should honor God with the things we make.

MEMORY VERSE: 
"For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything."
Hebrews 3:4 (NIV)

This summer, we are introducing Kids Club Summer Pop-ups.  On three different Fridays, we will meet at different parks in Clay County for some family fun and fellowship. This evening offer parents an opportunity to connect with other parents, kids a chance to hangout with their Kids Club friends outside of Sunday mornings, and families sometimes to create summer memories. 

Send your kids on an out-of-this-world adventure!
At Stellar VBS, kids shine Jesus’ light! Stellar is filled with awesome Bible-learning
experiences kids see, hear, and touch!

July 24-28 from 9 am to 12 pm

Registration is now open.  

In desperate need of a date night? Or time alone to Netflix and chill? Let us help! Drop your kiddos off with us for a few hours. While you are enjoying your break, your kids will play games, do crafts and eat dinner in a fun and safe environment.

This is a free event open to our community, that we offer once a quarter.  While this event is free registration is required.   Check the link below for information on our next Parent's Day Out.
