During the program year, each week brings new opportunities for connection, spiritual formation & fun! See below.
Summers are quieter for little ones but bring Summer of Service for middle/high schoolers.
Joining us on a summer Sunday for worship? Kids are always welcome and younger ones should grab an activity bag in our entrance space.
Children in Worship & Sunday Programs
On Sundays during worship, children are invited to play, pray, and learn together in our Nursery (ages 0–4) and Sunday School (PreK–6th grade).
Families begin together in the sanctuary. After the children’s message, kids may either stay in worship or join Sunday School.
Nursery (Ages 0–4)
Bible stories & play
Drop-off begins at 9:50am
Sunday School (PreK–6th Grade)
Dismissed after the children’s message (or communion)
All ages start together with check-in, a Bible story, and a reflection question
PreK–K: Reflection activities, games, and free play (Classroom E)
Grades 1–6: Choose from three activities (art, games, or rotating options in Classrooms B, C, or D)
Helpful to Know:
Children of all ages are welcome to stay in worship. Activity bags are available, and wiggles and noise are a normal part of church life!
On Communion Sundays, everyone—including kids—is invited to receive.
During the school year, our staffed nursery is open (grab a building map as you arrive).
After worship, pick up Sunday School kids in the children’s wing.
Nursing parents are welcome to stay in the sanctuary, use the rocking chairs outside the sanctuary doors, or the nursery (where the service is livestreamed).
Our Sunday programs foster joyful, engaging spaces where kids can have fun, make friends, and explore God’s love through creative activities.
During the program year, once a week our Middle School and High School youth groups meet for fun, reflection, and relaxation. Students also have the opportunity to participate in our choir and music program. We also offer a week long high school mission trip during April school vacation. During the summer, we invite this group to participate in our award-winner Summer of Service program.
Sunday Mornings
High School students are invited to come and help lead the Sunday School activities during worship. Please have them reach out to Taylor via email or text to let them know when you can help.
Sunday Afternoons
Middle School Youth Group (6th-8th Grade) | 1pm-2:30pm
High School Youth Group (9th-12th Grade) | 3:00pm-4:3pm
We’ll check in about our week, play games, and do a Bible study and/or spiritual practice. There will be snacks/candy. If you can bring a snack for youth group one week, please let Taylor know! Snacks should be nut free. Youth Group meets in the Youth Space (lower level of the church). Drop off & pick up using the back door of the church.
The HIGH SCHOOL MISSION TRIP is an opportunity for all area high schoolers to serve our neighbor, learn about our innermost selves and build a transformational relationship with God. No matter where you are on your faith journey, this is a time to reflect, build community and meet the face of God in a neighbor you’ve never known before. We ask that everyone come to this week with an open mind and an open heart, ready for a week of love, community and service!
