Nursery
"And He took the children in His arms, put His hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10:16

You’ve made the decision to come to church with a little one. Congratulations! We know it isn’t easy. The Nursery/Preschool Council stands ready to make this big step as easy as possible. 

Some families choose to take their infants to worship with them in those first weeks / months and that is definitely an option. Whether you choose a traditional service or the contemporary service, we welcome you as a family!

Some basics for when you are comfortable leaving your child in the nursery:

  • The nursery area is located on the second floor. Look for a flurry of activity and the sound of happy children!
  • We have cribs and everything necessary to serve children from a few weeks old, to age three. Three-year-olds are encouraged to participate in Godly Play Sunday School at 9:45 a.m.
  • We have three computer stations to make sign in and name tags easy.
  • Childcare is available from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. every Sunday.
  • Our nursing room (adjacent to the infant crib room) is open when you would like some privacy to feed your baby.
  • Pagers are available so we can contact you if the need arises.
  • Toddler, twos and threes hear a Bible story and have a coloring page each Sunday.  Click here to see the Bible Story schedule.
  • We provide a light snack.

A paid childcare worker is in each room along with parent volunteers. Worker-to-child ratios are strictly observed:  

  • Infant Nursery: 1:3
  • Crawlers: 1:3
  • Toddlers: 1:4
  • Younger Twos: 1:5
  • Older Twos: 1:6
  • Threes: 1:8 

We love (and need!) helpers in the nursery on Sunday morning.  Safety is our highest priority. We consider it a privilege to care for your child while you worship. A paid childcare worker is in each room; however we cannot minister to the many children in our care without your parental commitment to serve in the nursery. Parents have the primary responsibility to nurture their child's faith in partnership with the church.  It is a perfect match!
