From the moment of birth, your child becomes an important part of the Alpharetta Methodist family. We are committed to being a faith community that surrounds you and your child with love, care, nurture and hope. We pray you will find many opportunities for your child to grow in their spiritual journey.

This week-long camp will be filled with worship, games, scripture, missions, prizes and more! Students will learn that God has a good purpose when they face challenges, and that he gives them choices and tools for overcoming every challenge they encounter. The camp is Mario-themed, but it’s not about video games. It’s goal is to bridge the gap between life’s challenges and the challenges and leveling of a video game. The camp will have a strong mission overtone. On the last day, campers will visit Lake Lanier Waterpark. Space is limited.
Special Needs Ministry
We believe all children are a gift from God. We welcome children with special needs. Please contact us with your questions and needs, or to arrange a buddy for your child.
Security for your child
Child security is taken very seriously at Alpharetta Methodist. Everyone working with babies, children and youth is required to complete our Child/Youth Protection Training, which includes a background check by a professional agency.
Nursery parents are given a restaurant-style pager in case they are needed while their child is in the nursery.
No one is permitted to take a child from the nursery or a children’s program unless their name was included on security forms previously signed by the parents.
