Nursery child care is provided for infants (who are at least six weeks old) and toddlers, Sunday mornings from 9:15 am - 12:00 pm. Our mission is to provide a safe, loving environment for children, while parents participate in Sunday school, worship, and other church-wide experiences. The nursery is staffed by workers who have been carefully screened. No reservations or pre-registration is necessary, however, please remain on the church property while your child is in nursery care.

Worship Care Volunteers

Worship Care offers parents and other members of the church an opportunity to be in ministry to families with young children as they provide child care for children ages two, three and four during the Sunday morning worship services.  Parents of children of these ages are asked to be a part of this ministry about once per quarter.  During Worship Care, children have time to play in the classrooms and hear a story.

Security Policy
Because the safety of your child is one of our top priorities, parents are required to follow these procedures...

  • Upon bringing your child to the Nursery entrance, sign in on the sheet provided. You will be given a vibrating pager that will be used to notify you if your child becomes ill or unhappy.
  • Unless the family is known to the Nursery worker on duty,  the child will be released to only that person who signed in.
Nursery Policy 
Please help us provide the optimum care we desire by observing the following:

  • Label all items, including diaper bags, pacifiers, bottles, blankets, and clothing.  Disposable diapers only, please.  
  • Bottles should be completely prepared at home. 
  • Crackers and Cheerios will be provided for those children who are permitted to have them.  
  • Please alert the Nursery Staff of any allergies your child may have.  
  • We prefer that you not bring toys from home. 
  • Our Nursery workers are not allowed to administer medication.
