Sunday Morning

Nursery for Infants and Toddlers

The nursery room is open to use on Sundays, 7:45 am-11:00 am. It is located near the Fellowship Hall and restrooms.

It is staffed by screened volunteers during the 9:30 am worship service for your infant through 3-year-old child(ren). It is available for unattended family use whenever needed.

Worshipping with Small Children

Children are welcome in all of our worship services. God loves the little children, and so do we!

Rainbow Bags are available to use during worship. Feel free to have your child grab a bag on the way into service from the Narthex or Family Life Center lobby. Please return the bag on your way out.

Children's Message

Our focus is to connect the theme and message of the day in a simpler way that children can understand and relate to on their level. We invite the children to come forward to hear the message.
