Children’s Ministries: Info & Schedule

During the Knox County school year (mid-August through May), children ages PK-5th grade meet downstairs for Sunday School Formation Hour from 9:30 AM – 10:15 AM. All ages will gather together to get started with a light snack and a song. Meet us at the bottom of the stairs by the kitchen/belltower: first room on the right. Formation Hour resumes for children on August 16th, 2026.

During Formation Hour, children 3 years old and younger are invited to our nursery for a snack, a bible story, and lots of playing with our wonderful nursery staff. The nursery is also downstairs, just follow the mural hallway around to the other side of the building. Or access the nursery from the stairs nearest the church office.

If you have questions, please contact the church office at office@goodsamknox.org or Julie Jenkins, Director of Children’s Ministries, at julie@goodsamknox.org.

Infants and Toddlers

The Nursery is available  from 8:00 am – 11:45 am or the conclusion of the church service. We provide a loving, safe environment for our children in our nursery as we care for our youngest members.  All nursery workers have completed the Safeguarding God’s Children training. We ask that parents provide a labeled bag with diapers and wipes.
