We are excited to offer nursery care during Sunday morning and Wednesday evening services. Our nursery serves children ages zero to three. The same order of activities is followed for each service to promote consistent care and learning. This helps our children become acclimated easily since they know what to expect each stay.
Child Security Numbers (CSNs) are issued to each child in the nursery along with a remote pager for the parent. This allows for quick check-in and check-out, a convenient way to call parents when they are needed, and it allows for each child to only be released to the proper person.

Raindrops is a ministry for 3-5 year olds that meets every Sunday morning during the 10:30 a.m. service.
We believe that this class is vital to the spiritual growth and development of these young children. We learn about Bible characters and their life lessons, characteristics of Jesus that we can apply to our own lives, and developmental skills that support our physical learning.
