read moreAt Duke Memorial children are central to the life of the congregation. Our hope is that your children will not only be welcome but will become ministers in our church, worshiping and serving as full members of Christ's body. You can do them on Sunday mornings, in between Zoom school classes, at the family dinner table, or whenever is best for your schedule. We will spend some time in Children's Chapel each week talking about the lesson for the week to help the themes stick. At Duke Memorial, we believe that children are a gift from God.
