Christ Episcopal Church is a loving and welcoming church family, centrally located in the historic Monte Vista District of San Antonio, Texas. Our sanctuary is one of the most peaceful and beautiful churches in the country, but the real beauty of our church is our people. We are a large church, but with a small, familial feel and lots of ways to become involved.

Children's Ministry

Children's Ministry

Jesus tell us, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

Those who minister to children at Christ Church are obedient to the loving command of Jesus to let the children come to him. Both children and adults involved in Children's Ministry are mutually blessed as we carry out the vision of the church "...to know Christ and make him known" through:

  • Worshiping together

  • Learning together

  • Reaching out to others with the love of Christ

The main goal of Children's Ministry is to bring children to Christ through Sunday school, Children's Chapels, and special events and projects. Through these venues, Christ is made known in the telling of God's story in scripture and the sharing of the life of Christ in us through our witness to the world.

For more information on children's ministry, contact Catherine de Marigny, Director of Children's Ministry

Elementary: Elementary children, Kindergarten through fifth grade, will learn about how God is here in their lives. They will explore virtues, what God is doing in you to change the world around you, such as compassion, resilience, and hope, and learn that God is here for them and with them no matter what. Classes have a Bible story, followed by hands-on, concrete explorations of how these stories are connected to everyday, normal kid life.

It is Christ Episcopal Church Safety Policy that all children be accompanied by parents or guardians to class, chapel, or choir locations upon arrival and be released only to parents/guardians at conclusion of these events.
