What Is Our Why?
Enjoy a new weekly feature where we get see how God is at work in the Children's Ministry Board.
Melissa Starker serves as the Children's Ministry Board's 3rd & 4th grade Coordinator.




I have been on the Children's Ministry Board since 2018 and serve as the 3rd and 4th grade coordinator. This age group is amazing to experience as they are learning more about God, faith, and putting their belief into action for others. One of the most meaningful experiences I have had is experiencing the presenting of their Bibles. This is a wonderful tradition that BSUMC offers these children--to have their very own Bible and to begin to take charge of their learning and understanding of God's word. The children are always so excited, and the lessons that surround these first experiences with their own Bible are very fulfilling.
