We see the care of babies and toddlers as a ministry to both the children and their parents.

Our nursery volunteers have completed a child protection screening and referencing procedure, and have been instructed in all nursery policies.

We offer care for babies and toddlers during both the Sunday School hour and the Worship Service. We have two nursery rooms to accommodate children from birth through 3 years.

The infant nursery (available during both Sunday School and Worship service) is designed for the newborn up to about 24 months. During the Sunday School hour, once a child turns two, he moves from the infant nursery to a toddler class. During the Worship Service, infants through 24 months are cared for in the infant nursery, while 2 and 3 year olds are cared for in the toddler nursery across the hall. Some children may move to the toddler nursery as early as 18 months if they are steady walkers and parents feel the move would be beneficial.

The toddler nursery (available only during the Worship Service-during Sunday School, toddlers have their own class) is designed for children ages 2-3 years old (or children as young as 18 months if they are steady walkers). The toddler nursery care for the Worship Service automatically follows for those who attend the 2-3 year old Sunday School class. Once a child turns 4, he joins his parents for the first part of the Worship Service, and may be dismissed part way through (if parents desire) for the Children's Worship time.

We desire to provide a loving, nurturing and Christ-centered environment for our children. Good behavior is encouraged, and inappropriate behavior is dealt with by verbal promptings, time-outs, and contacting parents if necessary. We will not spank or physically punish any child.

Nursery care is also available for children ages 0-3 years during Wednesday evening prayer service, during Missions Conference, and during special Sunday evening services.
