NURSERY
In the Nursery we provide a safe, clean environment and loving care for infants to 17 months by background-checked volunteers during the church service. Toddlers and infants are combined for the Sunday school hour. We also provide childcare for the Toddlers, age 18 months to 3 years old during the church service.
CHILDREN’S CHURCH
Halfway through the worship service, children ages 4-2nd grade have the option to attend children’s church. Babies and children are always welcomed to stay with their families in the sanctuary for the entire service though as well!
FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN FELLOWSHIP LUNCHES
These happen several times a year. Often there is a theme and a few activities planned by Kathy Scholten. It’s a great time to gather with other parents and allow the children to play together.
Other Events at the church that have activities for kids: Reformation Dinner, Game Nights, Annual Church Picnic
