Cathedral Kids
About Cathedral Kids
Our Mission is to invite all to know, love and serve God through Christ Jesus. Children from ages 0 to grade 4 are welcome in our program! The children have a place to call their own: Nursery, Children's Activity Room, Children's Chapel and Sunday School classrooms are all places of fun and discovery as children learn Bible truths. There is nursery during the 10:15 AM & 6 PM services all year.
Cathedral Kids’ Church is during the 10:15AM service in the undercroft for ages 4-9 (we ask that they can use the bathroom on their own, and sit through a short lesson in the chapel before they move from nursery to Kids’ Church). The second Sunday of each month is Library Day. We get to take the kids up to our very own Yergey library where they are read to (we read about a Saint, and books with a Biblical theme about that season). We bring the kids into the cathedral to join you for The Eucharist during announcements. We give them little pouches that have a coloring activity, colored pencils and lollipop. When you come out of church please place the pouches in the bin in the narthex.
There are many opportunities for fellowship, worship, fun, service and education. We also provide activities for families to join together and form relationships with each other. We invite your child to come and grow in Christ with our Cathedral family.

MEET OUR STAFF
Lindy Hamilton
Children’s Director
Many of you already know Lindy and her three boys (Magnus, Augustus, Atlus), but here is a bit more about them: they came to Cathedral in 2018 from the Jacksonville area. Having attended an Anglican church in Jacksonville, they decided to check out the Cathedral and quickly determined it was their church home.
They have loved being a part of a small group on Wednesday nights and participating in the Cathedral Kids ministry. After attending Father Joshes confirmation class Lindy was confirmed in the Fall of 2020.
“From the beginning,” Lindy says, “everyone made our family feel so welcome and we were very grateful for that. It has been great getting to know this congregation and I am very excited to partner with parents in serving our precious children.” Lindy attended Bryan College in Dayton. And her boys currently attend Cornerstone Charter school.
