SUNDAYS


NURSERY/TODDLERS: The Nursery and toddlers are watched over by our long standing nursey workers who show the love of God through their patience with and care of each child. Our children are truly a gift from God and in order to ensure their safety as well as to provide our parents comfort when they leave their child, our nursery is equipped with a silent paging system. We also ask that parents sign their children in and out.


Please note that there is a Food-Free Policy: Please do not drop off food with your child. The church provides the snacks for the safety of our children with food allergies.
