Bardstown United Methodist Church is committed to offering children a safe and loving place where they can worship God and learn His word. We are a community of faith dedicated to the well-being and nurturing of the children.
“Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” ~ Matthew 19:14
The goal of the Bardstown UMC Children Ministries is to enable our children to grow in their understanding of their relationship with God and with each other. We want to provide spiritual education and ethical training that will develop our children into mature and responsible adults in a vibrant faith community.
