Volunteer with Suntree Kids!
Suntree Kids needs your help to create a first-class ministry for our students! If you are interested in volunteering use the links below to let us know. We have opportunities for both youth and adult leaders on Sunday mornings and throughout the week.
Sunday Morning Children’s Ministry
Our mission is to create a fun and, safe community where children develop a relationship with Jesus Christ! Our vision is for everyone to become a follower of Jesus who loves God, loves each other and loves our neighbors in extraordinary ways. Suntree Kids is an opportunity for your children to experience just that through small age-level groups and Kid’s Worship.
Nursery Ministry
The Nursery is available for children aged 4 months-2 years old! It is located in the 200 Building. Your child will be in a wonderful and caring environment with a professional staff that is credentialed through the Dept. of Children and Families, CPR and First Aid trained!
The Suntree Kids Nursery is committed to providing a safe, nurturing Christian environment for young children. Nursery is available for all worship services at SUMC.
Preschool Ministry
Children 3-5 years meet in the Nursery Wing. We want to help each child incite wonder and help them embrace a God who is bigger than their imagination. Preschoolers in Suntree Kids are part of a fun and creative experience designed to encourage kids as they grow in their relationship with God. Through games, crafts, and age-appropriate lessons, your child will learn the Bible lesson of the day in a small group setting in their classroom.
Elementary Ministry
We want to help each elementary student to discover and engage in a relationship with Jesus. Suntree Kids Elementary programming is for children Kindergarten through 5th grade on Sundays, during the 9am and 10:30am worship services. Through games, crafts and age-appropriate lessons and applications, your child will learn the Bible lesson of the day in a small group setting in their classroom.
During the hour of the 9am Service, children kindergarten-5th grade will also have the opportunity to experience the large group lesson in Kid’s Worship! Kid’s Worship is a high-energy environment that teaches the week’s lesson through song, games, video clips and more.
It is our hope that kids leave our building feeling the love of Christ, through our adult and youth volunteers, and can’t wait to return the next Sunday!

Suntree United Methodist School
Suntree United Methodist School (or "SUMS") is a school for children starting at age 2 all the way through Kindergarten!
Suntree United Methodist School’s philosophy is, each child is a unique gift from God and will be accepted for who he or she is and will be respected and loved while in our care. Each child will have the opportunity to build positive learning experiences, grow in self-concept and self-esteem, and gain abilities in problem-solving. The children will also learn to grow in the spiritual, social, physical, mental, and emotional areas.
