We understand that it can be challenging to attend worship services with young children, so we offer a nursery and childcare program for children ages six months to four years old. This is a safe and nurturing environment where children can play, learn, and grow while you participate in the service.
Nursery and Childcare
Kidz Lab
We love having elementary children join us for Kids Lab each Sunday! After the Time for Children in the worship service, we invite kids to come to the Youth Room for Kids Lab. In this fun and interactive program, we explore the same Bible verses that are preached in the service, so children can learn about God's word at their level.
We follow the lectionary, so each week's lesson is based on the same Bible passages that are being preached in the service. This helps children to connect with the larger worshiping community and to deepen their understanding of the scripture.
We believe that children are important members of our church community, and we are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where they can grow in their faith and develop meaningful relationships with each other and with God. We invite you to bring your children to Kids Live and Kids Lab and join us on this exciting journey of spiritual growth!
Parent's Night Out
Parents Night Out is a monthly event that provides a much-needed break for parents while their children engage in a fun-filled evening of games and activities. This program is designed to give parents the opportunity to enjoy a night out without worrying about childcare arrangements. Our experienced staff provides a safe and supervised environment where kids can socialize and have fun. Parents Night Out is a great way for families to connect with other members of the community and is a highly anticipated event each month.
