The Nursery Program provides a safe, caring environment for newborns through age 4 during Sunday worship services, Sunday School, and other church functions throughout the week.
Light snacks are available for the younger children. Silent pagers are provided to contact parents in the event of an emergency. Child care procedures as outlined in our Child Protection Policy are followed. Parents who utilize the nursery are encouraged to volunteer once per quarter. If you wish to volunteer for a shift in the nursery, please contact the Nursery Coordinator.
9:30 am Sunday School Classes for Children
Sunday School classes are structured and provided to children based on their age as of 9/30 or the school grade.
For safety's sake we don't list classrooms for children on our web site, but they are clearly marked in the building. We have classes for children from age 2 through Senior High School.
11:00 am Sunday School Classes for Children
A combined Pre-K class (3 and 4-year olds) is offered and a combined Kindergarten through 6th grade class is offered.
Following the children’s time at the 11 a.m. worship service, Children’s Church is offered for Pre-Kindergarten through 1st graders. Junior Church is offered for 2nd graders through 6th graders.
Special Note
Registration cards are prepared for each child and information about allergies is recorded.
