Children’s Ministries
“Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, ‘Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.’ “- Luke 18:15-17

Nursery: Newborn through 3 Years
Nursery is provided for children birth through 3 years old in the newly remodeled and furnished nursery. Our loving nursery staff will share God’s love with our littlest ones during both the 10 a.m. Sunday service, as well as during Christian Education classes.
Security and safety is insured by way of a sign-in sheet that parents fill in each time their child/children attend the nursery.
Children’s Chapel
Christian Education
EYE (Energetic Young Episcopalians)
One Friday a month, children in Kindergarten through 5th grade are invited for dinner and a movie in the youth lounge. This time of fellowship and fun is a great way for your child to meet their peers, have a safe enviroment to just be a kid, and to be with other young believers… and it’s a great way for mom and dad to have a date night. Check the calendar for this month’s event. (This activity is in recess during the months of Vacation Bible School and Easter.)
Music Activities for ages 4 through Kindergarten
Through vocal exploration, basic rhythmic activities, and musical games, this ministry helps younger children find their voices in worship. Contact Duane Roth for more information.
Children’s Choir for Grades 1 through 6
The Children’s Choir will occasionally participate in services as worship leaders. With that goal in mind, time will be spent on learning basic musical skills, as well as learning hymns, service music, and anthems. Participation is also encouraged in the local Choristers Guild Children’s Choir Festival each February. Contact Duane Roth for more information.
