Nursery Care: Birth to age 4
The nursery is located in the CYF Center (the undercroft – lower level of the church). On Sundays, the nursery is staffed beginning at 9am. Children from birth to age 4 are lovingly cared for so that caregivers may attend the 10am church service.
Children: Pre-K to grade 6
Faith formation is an on-going, lifelong process. From womb to tomb we are called into a deeper relationship with our God who first loved us. It is through faithful connections that your children will come to know and experience God’s love by connecting with each other, and exploring different ways to pray and practice their faith.
Children’s faith formation is offered on Sunday mornings. Beginning at 10am, children gather in the church before heading to their classrooms together. They return to their families in time for Communion.
Godly Play: Sundays at 10am for pre-K to grade 3
