Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

There is nothing more important to us than the safety of your children. Every volunteer/ staff in our ministry has a completed background check. Our Safe Sanctuary Policy is posted in each ministry area.

Check-In/Out

Parents/guardians are required to accompany their children to their classrooms to check in and check out. Please notify the staff that day of any medical/allergy concerns or special needs.

Nursing/ Cry Room

Parents with children birth to 17months are welcomed to use this room during all three worship services. A video feed of all three services is set up to allow parents to still follow along with the service at their convenience.

Toddlers

Toddler care is offered at our 8:15 am, 9:35 am, and 11:00 am services. For your convenience, we provide a snack of one of the following: Goldfish Crackers, Graham Crackers, or Cheerios and water or apple juice. No outside food is permitted. Please label all your child’s belongings.

Preschool/Kindergarten

Children are promoted to the Preschool/Kindergarten ministry in the fall of the year when they turn 4 years old.
This ministry is offered at the 9:35 am and 11:00 am services. Children will have the opportunity to participate in a Bible journey of discovery as they explore how to live out God’s Word.

Grades 1—4

This ministry is offered at our 9:35 am and 11:00 am services. Worship, games, and creative teaching of Bible truths are used to teach this generation of kids. Parental involvement is encouraged through the weekly take home and devotionals.
