nursery
Nursery is available for children from birth until they are ready for our preschool class called JAM Time.

A private nursing mom rooms is available in the nursery for any mom that wishes to use it.
jam time (jesus and me)
While the older youth and adults stay through the service on Sunday mornings, our littler members aged three through the completion of Kindergarten leave before the sermon to join a teacher in the JAM Time room located off the lobby/coffee bar area. Children hear a bible story, learn a verse from scripture, participate in games/activities and do a craft related to their story. This is often the first experience a child will have with Jesus and the church, and it serves as a foundational building block to their faith.
Each week, two adults as well as student helpers lead the children in their activities. All adult volunteers receive a background check prior to serving, to ensure the safety of our children through proper supervision and dismissal to the appropriate parent or guardian.
