Nursery
Children under the age of 2 are welcome in the nursery at every Sunday morning worship service. The nursery room is staffed by adults and responsible teenagers volunteering as helpers. They will endeavor to give the children the same care you would give—rocking, singing, reading, changing diapers, and loving them for you so you may spend quality time in worship. The nursery uses a pager system in conjunction with their registration process. Contact Mindi Lewis, Nursery Coordinator, at 736-6521 or our Director of Children’s Ministries with any questions.
Age Preschool 5 and Under
Children in preschool age 5 and under are placed in classes based on their birthdates, and are promoted to the next level based on their ages. Programs for these age levels are designed to let the children get to know God and the love of Jesus through active Bible lessons, crafts, games and music.
Kindergarten—6th Grade
School-aged children age 5-6th grade are placed in classes by current grade, and are promoted in August of each year, in conjunction with the local public school year. Programs for these age levels focus on the children experiencing and obtaining a deeper understanding of the Bible and all its stories. Third grade children are given gift Bibles during a special presentation at the beginning of the school year. Fourth, 5th and 6th grade children become more familiar and comfortable with their Bible through their weekly lessons, games and Bible stories.

Volunteer Opportunities
In each class, adults play an important role as teachers, mentors and role models. To ensure each child’s safety, all adults have had appropriate background checks and have participated in educational workshops on topics of safety and security.
Two adults provide instruction and supervision at all times. Teachers are assigned based upon a year of commitment so children develop strong relationships with the teachers.
If you have any questions or would otherwise like to be involved with our Sunday School programs, please contact our Director of Children’s Ministries at 535-8555, ext. 1319.
