Information for Families
Nursery
We offer a nursery during the service for children from the newborn stage to 5-years old. Each room is staffed with a volunteer and a paid worker. Every adult is background checked and trained before serving in the nursery. We have a list of rotating volunteers from the church, so the children of Hope are gaining a full vision of the church body, the different members, and how they serve and love them. If you would like to read our Child Protection Policy, you may find it here.
In addition to the nursery, our sanctuary offers a cry room, which is in the back of the sanctuary, up the stairs.
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.
What To Expect
On Sunday morning, please follow the signs that say “Hope Children” to find our nursery wing. There, you can print off a tag for your child. You will be greeted by a Hope staff member to show you where your child will be during the service and to answer any questions you may have.
Children’s Ministry
Children’s Church, for children ages K - 4th 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.
Youth Ministry
Once a month we offer a Youth Service on Sunday mornings during the sermon for our youth to hear a talk from a trusted church member on what the Bible has to say about certain topics pertaining to their lives. We will also offer a monthly youth event on a Sunday evening for our students to build community with one another as well as trusted adult leaders from our church, and continue to discuss the topic of what the Bible has to say about what they face in their day-to-day lives.
