We understand that parents are the primary teachers and that the whole church community has the responsibility and privilege to teach our covenant children. We desire to partner with your family in sharing the gospel with our nursery children. In the nursery our infant through pre-K children experience God’s love through story, song, and play as we worship together in a safe, nurturing environment. Children (through age 4) are welcome to join us on Sunday mornings!

“We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders.”
Psalm 78:4
We desire to build strong Biblical foundations in these formative years as we participate together in worship through Bible stories, songs, and age-appropriate play. We look forward to every opportunity we have to teach our covenant children that God loves them and to help them experience that love through Jesus.
We offer several opportunities during the week to engage our nursery participants. Nursery is available on Sunday mornings during worship, during Sunday school, and Sunday evening activities. Nursery is also available on Thursday mornings during the women’s Bible study.
Your children’s safety is extremely important to us. All volunteers and teachers are screened, receive training and must comply with our Congregational Care and Safety Policy, which includes staffing each room with a minimum of two adults.
To ensure safety, we implement an electronic check-in system On your first visit, the Sunday Supervisor will help you check in your children at our Welcome Desk.
At check in, you will receive a printed name tag for your child(ren) as well as a guardian pick-up slip. Please affix the name tag on each child’s back and walk them to their room. You then will sign your child in on the Nursery Sign-in sheet at the door of each room, including your phone number and any other instructions. Keep the guardian pick-up slip with you.
To check out your child(ren), please return to each room and hand the teachers the pick-up slip(s) you receive during the check-in process. For security, we ask that only parents pick up a child.
Nursery bedding is changed after each use and toys and tables are wiped down with a germicidal solution after each session and sterilized regularly. Please keep your child at home when you note any of the following within 24 hours of a church event:

While we strive to make our nursery allergy friendly, we cannot guarantee an allergy-free environment. We offer Cheerios and water for snack time during nursery meeting times. Please do not bring food containing peanuts into the nursery wing. We also ask that parents do not offer other snacks to children without first consulting the supervisor.
On Sunday morning, nursery volunteers teach our “Worship Time” lesson, based on the “Show Me Jesus” curriculum and other resources to engage our children in worship.
During Sunday School, dedicated teachers instruct, sing and engage the children in age appropriate activities using the “Show Me Jesus” curriculum.
