Hamline Church is a congregation where children & youth engage in awe, wonder, and service to their neighbors. Children are guided in faith formation through Sunday School and Confirmation, and have ample service opportunities both within Hamline Church and outside our walls. We recognize that children need their own space to learn and grow, but also seek to provide intergenerational opportunities for our kids to grow in relationship with their elders.

Whole Family of God Service: First Sundays
The first Sunday of each month, we celebrate communion in our worship service. This is a special sacrament that we share together as a church, and we want children to be part of it! Children are always welcome to stay in the worship service with families, and on first Sundays we will not have Sacred Studio time together to allow time for this special worship.

Baptism
This is a beautiful expression of being born into God’s love. Contact Pastor Mariah (mftollgaard@hamlinechurch.org) if you are interested in having your infant or child baptized at Hamline Church.

Sunday Mornings for Youth
Youth and their families can join us for worship on Sundays at 10am. Youth can serve as worship leaders, musicians, and leaders with Sacred Studio! Contact the church office to learn more: humc@hamlinechurch.org
We invite youth to sit together in the upper balcony towards the back of the sanctuary! (6th graders can also join the 4th and 5th graders on the main level of the sanctuary)
Safety Policies
As part of our commitment to keeping children and youth safe, Hamline Church follows a Safe Sanctuaries policy(PDF). All staff, child-care workers, Spiritual Formation leaders, and other adults who work with children and youth have completed training and a background check through Safe Gatherings.
We also ask that you register your child each year, so that we have up-to-date emergency contact information.
