Nursery is offered each Sunday during Sunday School and Worship.  Infants receive care in their own safe, comfortable room, while Toddlers explore their room with age-appropriate activities, lessons, and fun.

CAFE (Community And Faith Exploration) is a wonderful mid-week opportunity for elementary-age children to get together with their church friends.  This year in CAFE, We’ll be ‘unpacking’ the elements of worship with a yearlong worship orientation program titled Gateways to Worship.    

Preschool Pals is a program for children 2 - 5 years of age.  Preschool Pals meets the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Wednesdays of each month starting in October, from 4:30 pm until 5:30 pm.  The children learn stories of the Bible through games, arts & crafts and music, using the curriculum, "God Loves Me:  The Bible in 52 Story Books."

Special Events are offered throughout the year to enhance our faith formation activities.  We offer Worship Orientation for first graders, Advent Events as we approach Christmas, and a summer VBS that is loads of fun.
