What is available for my kids?

We love welcoming families! On Sunday mornings, we offer:
- Nursery. Available for newborns through age 3. You can drop off your child before the service begins.
- Children’s Church for Pre-K 4 through 3rd Grade. Children will sit with you in the service at first and be dismissed partway through to attend their own special time of teaching and activities.
When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed at the door and directed where to go. Just ask one of our friendly greeters—they’ll guide you through our secure check-in process, help you get your child to the right place, and provide a pick-up tag to ensure your child’s safety.
All of our children’s ministry volunteers are background checked and trained to provide a safe, caring environment for your little ones.
Intergenerational Services
From time to time, we hold special intergenerational services where children ages 4 and up remain with their families for the entire worship service. These are meaningful times when all generations worship and learn together. We’ll make sure to let you know ahead of time when one of these services is coming up.
Where do middle and high school students go?
Our Student Ministry offers Sunday School classes at 11:00 AM. The session starts with a large group gathering before splitting into gender- and grade-specific classes. Students are also welcome in the main worship service at 9:30 AM.
What if my child has special needs?
Contact KarynWe want every child to feel safe, loved, and included. If your child has special needs — or if you’d simply like to talk through things ahead of time — our Children’s Ministry Director, Karyn Wade, would love to connect with you.
What should I wear?
You’ll see everything from jeans to dress clothes on a Sunday morning. There’s no dress code — just come as you are. We're more interested in who you are than what you're wearing.
