The Nursery Ministry serves children ages two and below. It provides loving childcare during the 9:00 and 10:45 AM Sunday morning services, Sunday evening classes, the Sunday evening service, and Wednesday evening classes. Staffed by qualified, trained workers and parent volunteers, this ministry believes that children begin learning about God from birth. As a result, it seeks to teach the children about Him through love, God’s Word, and care for both the children and their families. In addition, it has a security system and an allergy alert system in place to provide the best possible care for our children. The nursery is located on the first floor of the education building.

Infants/Babies

All infants in this room are cared for by permanent adult caregivers and parent volunteers. We will feed your infant according to your instructions. No snacks are given in this room. A Nursing Mother’s room (located outside our Infant room) is provided for the privacy of our moms.

Crawlers

Once your child begins to crawl, they will be promoted. These rooms have adult caregivers as well as parent volunteers. An appropriate snack is provided for the toddlers.

Toddlers

Children who begin walking are promoted to the Toddler room. Toys and videos as well as snacks are provided.

Two's

Children in the two year old room begin the four-year Discipleland process of walking through the entire Bible. These children are cared for by adults and teens. Snacks are provided.


Security System

Our security system prevents anyone other than the parent from picking up a child. When you bring your child, we ask that you fill out a sticker telling the child’s name as well as your name and location. Place the sticker on your child’s back and you keep the stub. This stub MUST be returned to the teacher to pick up your child. Pagers are provided for all babies and crawlers, and for any parents who would like to request one at the front desk.
