The Sunday schedule provides a variety of opportunities for children of all ages.

NURSERY is where God's love is communicated to infants (birth to 18 months), as these babies are cradled in the arms of the Nursery workers. As they grow and move about, they begin to identify the church as a special place to be. The Nursery is supervised from 9:45am to noon by a paid caregiver and parent helpers.

TODDLERS (18 months to age 3) begin to think of church as a place where they are welcome. They hear stories and relate to one another in play activities and art. Class time 9:45 am to noon with parent helpers and teachers.

MUSTARD SEEDS (ages 3-5) have both free play and a group lesson. Group activities include Bible stories, conversations, finger plays, music, prayer, and art activities. Class time: 9:45 - 10:45am, childcare: 10:45am to noon with parent volunteers.

Rock Solid is the curriculum this class will use for their mission training, and one where these young agents of God will begin forming and building a firm foundation of faith. The mission for these children and their families is to attend regularly and converse with each other after class allowing “the story” to be shared.
