A supervised nursery is available every Sunday morning during the 9:15 a.m. Sunday school service and the 10:30 a.m. worship service for infants and toddlers through the age of 34 months. We are committed to your child’s safety and comfort. As you entrust us with the care of your little ones, we intend to do all that we can to respect and honor that trust.

On the other Sunday mornings, Worship time includes a Children’s focus time.
