At South Church Amherst we include children and youth in all aspects of church life. We are committed to providing children with a warm, safe, and inclusive environment where they will feel loved and respected. We explore, interpret and practice Christian ministry with the children and youth to develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be a Christian in the 21st century.
