These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Children are a critical part of our ministry. We invest heavily in programming that will capture a child’s attention, keep them engaged, and equip them for life by teaching them of God’s love for them. As a Bible church, we also focus on learning and understanding Scripture, as it helps us understand God’s character and His desire for us to lead full lives.

Nursery (birth to age 2)

Our nursery facilities are part of the most recent renovation on our campus and are designed for infants and toddlers up to age two. The nursery is located in the College Avenue Building, just a few steps from the auditorium where services are held. Parents are never far away from their little ones!

Nursery and toddler care classrooms are available for both the 9 and 10:30 services.

The purpose of the Nursery Ministry is to share the love of Jesus with the children who are in our care. We aspire to provide a safe, secure, and loving environment in which developmental and educational growth can take place. Our goal is that each child will learn of God's love through the love shown by our dedicated workers, volunteers, and staff.
