5th Grade Milestone Celebration

The Fifth Grade Milestone, also called Level Up, celebrates the exciting transition from Saint Matt's Kids into Saint Matt’s Youth. It’s both a moment of looking back with gratitude and looking forward with anticipation as students begin their middle school journey.

Fifth graders are invited to a special evening filled with food, games, prizes, and connection with both Kids and Youth leaders. At the same time, parents are given space to reflect on their child’s growth, connect with other parents, and receive support for the new joys and challenges that come with the middle school years.

Along with this celebration, students also get a “sneak peek” of Youth Group before the school year ends—helping them build friendships, grow in faith, and feel at home as they enter middle school. Finally, we recognize our Fifth Graders at a special commissioning in worship where parents and kids are both celebrated, encouraged by the truth that they are not walking this journey alone but surrounded by a community of faith.

Stay tuned for more details!

Kids' Night Out

Kids' Night Out

Kids, get ready for an evening packed with excitement!

Elementary-aged kids (K–5th) will enjoy a fun night with dinner, games, crafts, a movie, snacks, and plenty of opportunities to make new friends.

Kids ages 5 and under will have their own calmer, age-appropriate experience in a separate space, with activities, crafts, and play designed specifically for our youngest guests. (**4 or 5 year olds may choose to stay with older siblings)

This is a community event open to all children ages 1–11, so invite a friend!

Kids' Night Out runs from 4:30–8:00 p.m. at Saint Matthew Lutheran Church (399 Wiget Lane, Walnut Creek).

  • Pizza dinner is included and will be served between 5:00–5:30 p.m.

  • The cost is $35 per child / $55 per family, and pre-registration is required.

  • To ensure safe child-caregiver ratios, we are unable to accept walk-up registrations. Therefore, registration will close when we reach capacity or the Wednesday prior to the event, whichever comes first.

We never want cost to be a barrier; limited scholarships are available. For more information, contact Sue Burke, Children’s Minister, at sueb@saintmatthew.org or (925) 932-1955 x120.

4th Grade Bible Milestone (Class)
Feb
22

4th Grade Bible Milestone (Class)

The Fourth Grade Bible Milestone is a special opportunity for our whole church family to celebrate the ways God has been at work in the lives of our children through Children's Ministry. By this point, many children already have a strong foundation in scripture from Sunday classes, VBS, and other experiences. Now, they take the next step: receiving their own Bible and beginning to build a faith that will last a lifetime.

This milestone has two parts. First, children and their parents come together for a class where they share a meal, learn side by side, and explore how to engage with the Bible at this new stage of life. Then, during worship, each fourth grader is presented with a Bible and blessed by the congregation.

This milestone not only celebrates what God has already done, but also equips families to continue growing together in faith as children step into a new season of physical, emotional, and spiritual maturity.

Stay tuned for more details!

Meets Sunday mornings at 10 am
Early Childhood Ages 3 months-3 years
Preschool & TK Ages 3-4 years
Elementary Grades K-5th

At Saint Matthew, we believe that kids aren’t just the future of the church—they’re a vibrant, essential part of our church family right now. That’s why our Children’s Ministry is built around creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where every child feels seen, loved, and encouraged to grow in faith.

Each Sunday, our kids experience engaging, age-appropriate teaching, music, games, and activities designed to help them explore who God is and how deeply they are loved. From toddlers to fifth graders, every child is invited to wonder, worship, and discover what it means to follow Jesus in their everyday lives.


If you’re new to Saint Matt’s or just visiting for the first time, welcome! We’re so glad you’re here. To help make your Sunday morning smooth and secure, we invite you to fill out our quick Hello New Families form.

By sharing a few details about you and your kiddos, we can:

  • Get you into our system ahead of time

  • Have a check-in tag ready for you when you arrive

  • Keep you in the loop about upcoming kids’ events and programs

Click the button below to fill out the form—it only takes a minute, and it helps us serve your family better from the moment you walk in the door.
