The Annual Conference Committee has worked hard to organize a child care option for the AC members. Child care will be provided during session times.

Child Care for Annual Conference 2025 will be hosted by Schaumburg: Our Saviour's UMC in conjunction with Schaumburg: Our Redeemer's UMC. 

Children in child care will be participating in the Vacation Bible School with Our Saviour's in the mornings with planned activities in the afternoon. On Monday night, during the Celebration of Ministry service, the children will be having a supervised movie night with activities at the convention center.
