Children of all ages are always welcome in worship services; however if desired, childcare is available in the Nursery, Room 101. Children are supervised by our professional caregivers and a silent paging system is used. Immediately following the Time with Children part of the 11:00 AM service, children ages 4 through first grade are invited to leave the sanctuary for Bridges to Worship, a program designed to introduce them to elements of worship in age-appropriate ways. After worship, parents or guardians may pick them up in Room 205.
