Information for Families
The goal of our work with children is to provide a safe place where the good news of Jesus is proclaimed and modeled in a way that children can understand. In order for this important ministry to be safe, we run background checks on each of our volunteers and secure our rooms in such a way to ensure your child's well-being. We want parents to feel the freedom to make decisions on behalf of their children that are right for your family. Perhaps you want to keep your kids in the service with you; that’s great! Perhaps, your kindergarten student is better suited for the elementary-aged lesson; that’s great! Let us know how we can serve you this Sunday.
Nursery
The nursery is for children from birth through Pre-K. Our nursery care is provided for the duration of the worship service, you can feel free to drop off your child at any point in the service.
The sanctuary offers a cry room, which is in the back of the sanctuary, up the stairs.
Children’s Ministry
Children’s Sunday School, for children ages K - 5th grade, takes place during the sermon portion of the service. Children will be dismissed before the sermon, during the greeting of peace, and will be released back to the sanctuary before communion.
