The Nursery

Nursery Care is available throughout Sunday mornings for children from birth to preschoolers. It is equipped with capable staff that are current in First Aid and infant, child, and adult CPR certifications in addition to being background checked. Children of all ages will hear a Bible story and music which shares God's love with them.

All children need to be checked in using the tablets and printers when you drop off. You can use any tablet located throughout campus.  

  • If you forget the diaper bag at home, no worries, we have extra clothes, diapers, and wipes if your child needs them. 

  • The Nursery is available during Faith and Fellowship Hour. They will be learning the same stories.

Make a Tag for Your Bag!

When checking in your child in the nursery, follow these instructions so that we can properly know what items belong to whom and what the child's name is.

  1. Search for anyone in your household's name. If you have a common name, please add first and last names.

  2. Select the child(ren) who will be going to the nursery by hitting the box to the left of the child's name.

  3. Before you hit "finish and print" make sure you select the number 2 at the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

  4. Once you hit print and finish, there will be three stickers printed from the printer. The one that says the child's name goes to the child, one of the security labels goes to you (or another approved pick-up adult), and the other security label goes on your diaper bag. 


Godly Play

Godly Play (a supervised sharing of the Bible story that follows the year of the Bible worship pattern) is offered for Pre-K 3 - 1st grade during each of the three Sunday morning worship services. The children will hear a Bible Story, enjoy a feast (snack), and then they have the chance to work with the story and explore what they feel from the Bible story that they experienced. Parents typically drop off the child and then return to the worship service, but please know parents are always welcome to stay and observe.

Faith & Fellowship Hour

Pre-K 3 - 5th grade meets in the Chapel at 10:00 am (located in the breezeway near the main Sanctuary, facing the Courtyard) for singing and to introduce the day’s Bible Story. Parents/Guardians should check in through our tablet check-in stations. The check-in stations are outside the chapel, nursery, and the gym. You can check in through any of the stations. Just make sure it says Kids Faith Formation (insert grade).

Children Pre-K 2 and under will check in through the nursery.

At 10:15, we break into age groups and disperse to the following classrooms:

Birth -Pre-K 2 meet in Eastminster 104
​PreK3 and PreK4 meet in Eastminster 102
Kindergarten-1st Grade meet in Westminster 207
