Ministry for Children and Youth
Our Sunday Morning Schedule
Sunday Morning children and youth come to worship in the Sanctuary to join in our Gathering Times as the Euclid Church Community. Following the Youth and Children's Moment, we invite Church School-aged children and youth to accompany their teachers to classes.

Safe Sanctuaries
We are committed as a congregation to Safe Sanctuaries, and we want each child/youth to enjoy a positive experience in safe and secure settings.

Food and Mission Offerings
Each month we have the opportunity to make a direct gift to God's work both locally, for the Oak Park Food Pantry and other local services, as well as nationally and internationally through various UMC ministries.

Reconciling Congregation
In 1988, Euclid became a reconciling congregation, which means that we welcome gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons as active, participating members of our congregation. This conscious decision was based on the realization of God's affirming and unconditional love for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Euclid is active in the Reconciling Ministries Network.

Racial Inclusiveness
We express our commitment to the diversity of God's people by incorporating traditions from all cultures into our educational programs and regular worship services.


Music Ministry at Euclid
We give praise and thanksgiving for God's love through music that ranges in style from traditional African-American spirituals to classical European hymns. This wide range of music reflects the diversity of our congregation and celebrates our differences.
