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
