Your child’s safety is our top priority. Before the service, check your child in at the computer, located in the courtyard. Children attend worship with their family and are released to their classes after the Confession. Children may be picked up at the following locations after worship:
- Nursery: Newborn – 2 years old
- Preschool Room 1: 3 years old – Kindergarten
- Room A2: Grades 1 – 3
- Room B1: Grades 4 – 5
11am Worship Service
No children’s programming is offered during the 11am worship service. Please pick up an activity bag at the back of the church for your child to keep and enjoy.

Keeping the Promise
Classes and milestones nurturing your child’s faith
We partner with you in your child’s spiritual growth, helping you keep your promise to nurture their faith and celebrate their spiritual milestones.
Keeping the Promise classes and milestone celebrations are designed to complement your teaching at home and help you raise people who can depend on the spiritual knowledge they gained in childhood and pass it on to the next generation.
Baptism
In baptism, our sins are washed away. We’re adopted into God’s family and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, faith, and salvation. Children and adults can be baptized any time.
Contact the church office to set up a time to be baptized.
Pre-Kindergarten Bible Milestone

During a special worship service, pre-kindergarteners will receive a My New Story Bible.
Contact Kathy for more information.
Adventure Bible - Grade 3
May 2024
During worship service, you and your child will be invited up front so we can give you, the parent, a Bible. You in turn will give it to your child.
