Sundays
- We offer nursery care featuring activities, music and play during our weekend worship services for birth – 3 years old. Upon arriving, please register your child with our nursery staff to ensure top level care is provided. First Sprouts Nursery is located just off the Sanctuary.
First Kids School is offered for children 4 years old and up during our Saturday 5 pm and Sunday 10 am worship services. At First Kids School, children begin worship in the sanctuary with their families. Following the Time for Young Disciples in the service, children wishing to attend will be invited to meet in the back of the sanctuary to be accompanied by an adult volunteer to our Fellowship Hall. Parents will pick up their children following worship in the Fellowship Hall. Children may also check-in for First Kids School prior to worship at the Kids Welcome Center located at the back of the sanctuary.
We also provide a variety of worship activities for children to take part in during worship. Families can build their own worship activities bag located at the Kids Welcome Center at the back of the sanctuary.
*Note: The first weekend of every month will be a Family Worship Weekend, so Children will worship with their families in the pews.
