Athens First is the place to be on Wednesday nights! There are Kids’ Choirs, a delicious meal, and small groups for all ages. The Wednesday schedule is as follows:

For Kids in Kindergarten - Grade 5: 

Kids are invited to participate in Wednesday Night Kids, where they will explore their faith through Scripture and fun activities.  

For Kids in Grade 5: 

5th graders are invited to eat dinner together on Wednesday nights with our Kids' team from 5:45-6:25 in our 5th Grade Hang Out room. Registration for dinner is required by Tuesday at noon. Kids interested should stand in line with their families, get 'to go' plates, then meet Traci at the Welcome desk at the top of the Hancock entrance stairs.

Each week, 5th graders will join the younger elementary-aged kids in the gym and have leadership roles (if desired) throughout the evening.

It takes a village! We have a growing team of adult and student volunteers who are making a difference in the lives of the kids at our church. The Kids at Athens First team is committed to ensuring your kids and family have an incredible experience on Sunday mornings. Because of these amazing volunteers, from the moment you arrive at Sunday School, you will feel our church’s and Jesus’ love! 

Want to be part of what God is doing in Kids at Athens First?  Please reach out to join the fun! 

Athens First UMC uses an online ministry tool called Realm. It helps our church connect with you, and you connect with us. We use Realm Check-in for all Kids and Students programming. Parents can check in with their families at the kiosks in the Galleria, Hancock Hall, or Student Area (grades 6-12 only). Visit one of the Assisted Check-in stations if you are visiting with us for the first time, and a staff member or volunteer will help you create your profiles and check-in. If you are a member or repeat visitor, you will type in your name at the kiosk and follow the instructions to check kids into their groups. At the check-in station, you will receive printed name badges for children up to 5th Grade to wear during programming and a guardian receipt to provide at pick-up. Please drop off and pick up your children at the entrance to their classroom. With a Realm account, families can update their profiles, register for events, control their giving, keep in touch with their groups, and more. To receive an invitation to create an account, contact or call the church office.
