Childcare

Childcare is offered at all Sunday services. Infants and toddlers may be dropped off in our childcare room on the 2nd floor of the Administration Building before the service begins. Experienced childcare staff provide a nurturing and safe environment. Children ages 3 and older may attend our Sunday School upstairs in the Administration Building from 10:15 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Children participate in the first part of the service with their families and go to their classrooms with their teachers after the Time for Children.
