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

CHILDREN’S NURSERY: 

8:45 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. | Family Ministry Center (FMC) 
Nursery Care is available each Sunday for infants through 3-year-olds
Infants - 12 months: Room 105
Toddlers and Twos: Room 106
Infants and toddlers through age three will learn familiar Bible stories in a safe, loving setting. Little ones have many opportunities to play, explore, and interact with their environment, each other, and our wonderful nursery staff. Please bring a diaper bag and labeled water bottle for your child. A Mother’s Room is available for nursing mothers and young infants.

SUMMER CHILDREN’S CHAPEL:

9:00 & 11:00 a.m. | For the summer, chapel will change slightly to accommodate the changes that summer brings. Instead of bringing your child to the FMC chapel at 9 or 11 a.m., please keep them in the worship service until Father Joe invites the children forward in a short call & response. Catherinewill then lead the children out for a short and sweet summer Chapel. Children will return to the sanctuary for prayers and Communion with their families. 

Each week we’ll read one of the same lessons in a more kid-friendly way, some weeks we’ll also have a story book that has a similar theme, then we’ll extend an “Invitation to Play” through sensory and imaginative play materials (not messy), and end with a quick cleanup and prayer.

Parents are asked to assist with this quick, fun summer chapel. It’ll be about 20 minutes (readings & sermon time) and that’s it. No other commitment or preparation. It begins this week, June 1 and will go through at least June, perhaps July, too.

Sunday School
10 - 10:50 AM 

Summer 2025: Children will gather in the Parish Hall with Catherine de Marigny for stories and activities while the adults attend “A Cup of Joe with Joe,” a session for getting to know our new rector and his family.

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.
