At St. Augustine's, our hope is to create a sacred space where children can nurture their connection to God and deepen their sense of wonder, joy, justice, and love. We seek to provide a safe and inclusive environment where children can experience God's welcome and grow in love.
If you and your child are new to St. A's, please email Sarah stell at sarah@staugustineschapel.org.
Sunday School (Nursery TO 5th grade) - Returns september 13th!
Sunday school begins on September 13 for the 2026–2027 school year! Our Sunday school curriculum is rooted in the liturgical calendar and the traditions of the Episcopal Church while exploring themes of creation care, social justice, mindfulness, and creativity. Through hands-on crafts (painting, beads, clay, collages, and more!), embodied activities (yoga, sound baths, and mindfulness practices), stories, and meaningful conversation, we hope to nurture children's spiritual curiosity, inspire compassion, and help them discover the many ways God is present in themselves, one another, and the world around them. Please register your child using the link below. Questions about children 5th Grade and younger, email Sarah@staugustineschapel.org.
9:30 AM CHILDREN'S NURSERY
A nursery is available during the 9:30 a.m. service at Benton Chapel, but babies are always welcome to be in the sanctuary during the service! The nursery is for infants who can sit up on their own up to 4-year-olds. The nursery is managed by Sarah Yandell and is located downstairs in room G-28 on the first floor of the Divinity School. We ask that you pick up your child from the nursery before the Eucharist. All workers have completed the "Safe Church" training and a background check required by the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee.
