Bring the Children—They Are Welcome Here!
Parents, please do not allow the fear of your child crying, moving around, asking questions, or making a little noise to keep your family away from church.
At Mount Pleasant A.M.E. Church, we understand children. We know they are still learning, growing, and discovering what it means to worship God. We will be patient with them—and with you—as they grow.
Children are not an interruption to worship; they are an important part of our church family. Church is where they learn to pray, sing, worship, love others, and know Jesus. They cannot learn how to be in church unless someone lovingly brings them.
So bring the babies, the toddlers, the energetic children, children with special needs, and the teenagers. Bring the whole family just as you are. You do not have to feel embarrassed, anxious, or judged. There is room for your children at Mount Pleasant!

Parents, breathe easy. Your children are welcome, and you are welcome too!
Bring your kids to church, even if it looks like this.
One day she’ll sit quietly through the entire service.
One day she won’t need snacks, coloring books, or to be carried out halfway through.
One day she’ll be grown.
I’d rather have a child who grew up in church than a child who only started attending once she was old enough to act like an adult.
If that means some Sundays look messy, then they look messy.
If your toddler spends more time under the church chairs than in the church chair… you’re probably doing just fine. 😂
Keep bringing them.
They may wiggle, crawl under chairs, drop snacks, ask questions at the wrong time, or need to be carried out more than once. But they are learning something important: that church is where we gather, worship, and belong ❤️
