Children are a blessing from God. It is our goal to provide a safe, caring, and positive experience, and volunteers are committed to ensuring that this ministry brings Glory to God.
Nursery Staff and Volunteers
Our nursery staff and volunteers are screened and have been trained in the Child Protection Policy implemented by the United Methodist Conference. Nursery staff members are certified in CPR, are mature and responsible, and are actively involved with the children. We encourage and model positive behavior and try to make each child feel special.
Family Room
Children are always welcome in the worship services. We also have a family room located in the lobby, just outside of the Sanctuary, in case you need privacy during the service. Families can view the service, with little ones, within a space designed just for them.
