CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES
Nursery
Under age 2
Nursery is offered during Sunday School and the 10:30 AM Worship Service for children under 2 years old. For PM services children up to age 3 may use the nursery.
We are committed to providing a safe, clean, and caring environment for your kids. All of our volunteers are screened and are trained according to our Child Protection Policy guidelines. The nursery, toys, and all kids rooms are cleaned and sanitized after each use.
Sign your child in and out at the Nursery window located in the Large Foyer.
Children's Sunday School
Children grades K-5 meet downstairs in the Kidz Blast area starting at 9:30. Parents, please drop off your kids between 9:20 and 9:30.
Adult Sunday School will finish at 10:15 AM but children's Sunday School will go a bit longer. Parents should pick up elementary children between 10:20 and 10:25. High School and Middle School children do not need to be picked up.
Nursery is available for kids age 3 and under, and Pre-school classes (age 4 to Pre-K) will also be available upstairs in room 125.
Preschool Ministry
Sunday | Age 3 to Pre-K
Sunday morning Preschoolers (ages 3 to Pre-K) gather for a learning-center based program using The Gospel Project curriculum, that builds a strong foundation for their faith. This program takes place during the Worship service at 10:30 AM. Preschoolers should sit with their parents during the first part of the worship service and then are dismissed along with the Kidz Blast kids right before the sermon. Stop by the Welcome Center to help you find your child's classroom and answer any questions!
Kidz Blast!
Sunday | K - 3rd grade
The Elementary (K-3rd) children are dismissed from the 10:30 AM Worship service and led downstairs for the Kidz Blast program. When they arrive, they can expect a time of interactive teaching using material such as "What's in the Bible?" or the "Jesus Story Book Bible" curriculum. A snack is provided. After the Worship service ends, your child will be waiting for you with adult leaders in the Large Foyer.
Gophers

Wednesday evenings, from 6:30pm - 8pm, there are programs for the whole family!

Gophers instills in your child the value of spending time in God's Word each day!
