Nursery (Infants & Toddlers Up To Age 3)

Our youngest friends are welcome in the nursery, where they are well-cared for by experienced staff and volunteers in a loving, safe environment. Kids build connections with others, listen to fun faith music, play, snack, and receive lots of love. Room 213, on the Main floor. For this age group, you’re encouraged to bring food, milk, etc. that work for your child; we always have cheerios on hand! Children are also welcome to stay with their grown-up(s) if you prefer, in the sanctuary or in the “Lullaby” cry room in the balcony suited with rocking chairs.

Children's Church (Age 3 Up To 5th Grade)

Preschool and elementary age children are invited to sing, dance, and worship with the intergenerational congregation at the beginning of the 10:00 am worship service in the sanctuary. After opening songs and prayer, children are escorted to their respective Sunday School classrooms where they learn about God’s love through Bible stories, games, and crafts with their peers and caring adults. Snack provided.

Special Events
