We believe that every child is created, loved and valued by God. Our hope is that each child who comes through our doors would experience God’s love through the care of our leaders and staff.

Children who would like to attend our nursery, preschool, and kindergarten classes should continue to check in at the west entrance. Their classes begin at the start of worship.

Our 1st through 5th grade students will begin in worship with their families, and then be invited to participate in a class in the Great Room about 20 minutes after the worship service has started. We will bring these students to the Life Center together as a group, and parents should plan to pick up across the parking lot in the Life Center.
