Note from the Director
Welcome
The Children’s Ministry at HIEC is a vibrant and meaningful space for children to learn about and experience God through games, activities, crafts, science experiments, music, liturgy, discussion, and prayer. Children in pre-K- 5th grade meet for Sunday school in our Children’s classroom wing. Nursery care is available and provided by paid staff during Sunday morning worship and Sunday school.

Godly Play & Club 45
Sunday School | 9:00-10:05 AM
Children’s Sunday School is a weekly time of Christian formation for children ages 4 years – 5th grade. Kids begin together in the large group classroom of the Children’s Wing for music and prayer and are then taken to their respective classrooms. Children in grades PreK-3rd grade participate in our Godly play program which is a Montessori approach to spiritual formation. Children in 4th and 5th grade participate in Club 45 which is a special place set aside for older elementary students to continue to explore their faith through story, imagination, and community.
Wednesday Night GLOW
Monthly | 6:00-7:00 PM
Children meet monthly on Wednesday evenings to grow deeper in their faith by exploring their experiences of God and understanding of scripture. Children learn to apply this knowledge through fun games and deep conversations.
Children's Music
The Children’s Choir at Holy Innocent’s Episcopal Church is all about having fun while making joyful music together! Open to all elementary-aged children, regardless of musical ability. Every two months, our choir gets the exciting chance to lead the congregation in song, offering a unique leadership opportunity.

Children's Music
Open to all elementary-aged children, regardless of musical ability, our choir meets every Sunday at 9:00 AM, seamlessly transitioning into Sunday School and coming together again during Children’s Chapel at the 10:15 AM service. Singing in the choir is a fantastic way to build community as our young singers work together toward a common goal, developing foundational music skills and confidence through performance. Every two months, our choir gets the exciting chance to lead the congregation in song, offering a unique leadership opportunity. Through music, children also learn about faith and the stories of the Bible in a lively and engaging way. At Holy Innocents, we welcome all children to join in the fun and become a vibrant part of our worship services!
