Children

Your child’s faith journey is important to us and we want to be here to guide him/her along the way. We offer a wide variety of activities for you and your child (ages 0 to fifth grade) to grow together in faith each week and throughout the year.

Sundays

Sunday School

(9:45-10:45 am, ages four to fifth grade; beginning the first Sunday after Labor Day with a fun-filled open house)

Our classrooms are alive with activities that help children learn how God loves them! All volunteers leading classes model the accepting love of Christ as children learn and play together. Children are divided into classes according to age. Each group has an age-appropriate curriculum that shares Bible stories that teach them about God’s love.

Worship (for a list of worship times, click here)

Children are welcome to stay with their parents during the entire service. During the 11 am service we also offer the following opportunities for children aged four years old through fifth grade following the children’s sermon:

Enrichment

Children ages four through second grade may leave to attend lessons focused on Scripture and the sermon topic of the day. Second floor, education wing.

Bible Beat

Children in third through fifth grades may leave to participate in lessons that explore Scripture and the sermon topic of the day. These lessons may include discussions, games, and multimedia presentations. Second floor, education wing.

Children may be picked up after the service in the second floor, education wing.

Childcare (located on the first floor in the education wing, click here for a campus map)

We offer professional childcare for ages 0-3 during every worship service.  Our childcare is divided into two rooms: The "Creche" for newborns through to 18 months and the "Rainbow Room" for 18 months through 3 years of age.
