Sunday Mornings
Parent & Infant Room - Main Level
First Hour 9:00 am & 10:00 am Service The Parent & Infant Room is available for a parent to stay with their infant and watch the service on the TV. This room is equipped with comfortable chairs for feeding, a changing table, and an assortment of infant friendly toys/equipment. This room is unsupervised.
Nursery - Main Level (0 - 2 years old)
First Hour 9:00 am (0-4's) & 10:00 am Service (0-2's) (Children can be dropped off before service begins.) In addition to free time playing and having fun, our little ones will hear and see what God has made. We believe all children, even the very tiny ones, benefit from hearing God's word and praises in music. We want to make the most of the time we have with the precious ones in our care so we use the See What God Made curriculum, introducing our little ones to the amazing world we live in, and See What God Does, which teaches children God cares for them and everything He does is good. Through very simple teaching techniques, we present two fundamental principles:
- God is the creator of all things and everything He made is good.
- The Bible is true and it is God's book for me.
3's & 4's Room - Lower Level
10:00 am Service Only (Children can be dropped off before service begins.) This class will go through a curricula containing Old and New Testament stories. Each lesson begins with a Bible story taught with different visuals followed by a Bible memory verse, music, craft and games that are not only fun but help children apply the truths they learn to their everyday life. Teachers provide the children with a warm and nurturing place to learn about God with the goals of:
- Fostering in the children an eagerness to learn about God.
- Acquainting the children with the stories of Scripture.
- Helping the children know and experience the loving care of our great God.
