We are a church family who is committed to helping all children THRIVE.

We seek to create a space where all children can encounter the story and love of Jesus Christ:    

  • We encourage, appreciate and listen to every child.   
  • Each child learns that they are valued and celebrated, learning how to love and accept themselves just as they are and to do the same for others.   
  • We build quality relationships and lifelong memories of Christian community.  
  • Our families come in all shapes and sizes.   
  • We are unapologetically authentic, accepting and inclusive.   
  • We are the generation who will change the world through Jesus Christ.

We know that raising a child takes the effort of many willing hands and loving hearts.

Where do I go?

Our nursery and toddler rooms are located on the second floor just outside the sanctuary.

Babies (0-18 Months)- Room 245
Toddlers (18-36 Months)- Room 248

Times:

Nurseries are open Sundays from 8:15 am to 12:15 pm and upon reservation for weeknight church events.  

What will my infant or toddler be doing:

Our toddlers, ages 18 months to age 3, have their own Sunday school curriculum and have a weekly, mini Sunday school class with Ms. Abbie and Ms. Sarah in the room adjoining the nursery.  Their class experience includes age appropriate leaflets, stickers and Bible stories read by Ms. Sarah as part of their weekly routine.  We are proud of our low staff to child ratio that allows us to provide individual care and early Bible teaching.  

Our Parent Philosophy

Parents are welcome to visit our nursery anytime! Please get to know your child’s caregiver and feel free to stay for a while and play, if your child is having separation anxiety. For mothers who are nursing, we offer you a private and comfortable nursing room just inside the infant nursery in room 245. Our prayer is that staff and parents working together ensure quality individual care and enhance the communication between young families and the church.

Sunday School

4 years - 5th Grade

Pre-K 4 and Kindergarten Sunday school classes are taught in room 130 during the 9:45 a.m. hour.  Children learn about major stories of the Bible in a center-based active learning classroom.   All lessons are prepared with the whole child in mind offering prayer, music, Bible stories, and hands-on activities that allow children to see, touch, taste, smell and hear God’s world through the eyes of a child.  

The First and Second Grade Sunday school class is held in room 137, the New Room.  Children participate in bible exploration using story bibles and videos.  Students have creative opportunities to make art projects and play games that help illustrate the theme of the day’s lesson.  This is a high-energy learning environment, engaging as many learning styles as possible to reach every child.

The Third, Fourth and Fifth Grade Sunday school class meets in room 301.  Children read and study from their very own bibles, exploring the content and how to navigate them.  We begin to explore personal relationships with God, discovering and developing sustainable spiritual practices.  We also begin learning the foundations of United Methodist theology in preparation for confirmation.

Encouraging our children's exploration of God’s word is such a joy for our staff and volunteers!

First Time? Great! We can't wait to meet you!

Look for the area designated for check-in. An greeter wearing a will meet your family and help you check your kids in. One of our amazing volunteers will also be happy to show you to your kids' rooms and help them feel comfortable. You're welcome to stay as long as you need to.
Saftey is very important to us, and we work hard to protect every child in our care. All our volunteers submit to background checks and we are quick to notify you during services if your child should need you for any reason.
