We Welcome you to Register your Children!
Join our Children, Youth and Family Programs this year! Click here to register online. Our Sacred Stories for ages 3 through fifth grade are a wonderful way to teach our children the stories of scripture, and our middle and high schoolers have programming just for them. Children leave worship before the sermon, and are ready for pick-up at the close of worship.
Sunday School
Nursery | Explorers (infants and toddlers)
Our Explorers Team Leaders and their assistants will provide nurturing care for our youngest ones.
Adventurers (Age 3–Kindergarten) and Trailblazers (Grades 1-4)
Children will explore Sacred Stories in the tradition of Godly Play. Using beautiful hand-crafted materials, we’ll hear and wonder together about Bible stories. Children will also have time and space to respond individually.
Journeyers (Grades 5-8)
Our 'tweens will develop relationships with God and each other through conversation and spiritual practices.
Chapel Time
On the first Sunday of each month, children age 3–Grade 5 will join together for Chapel Time (story, song, prayer and service projects in a beloved sacred space) before returning to the Sanctuary to participate in Holy Communion with people of all ages.
Regular Sunday Morning Schedule
10:20 am The Explorers Room opens for infants and toddlers. Families may also bring infants and toddlers into worship for part or all of the 10:30 service.
10:30 am Children attend the first part of our worship service with their families. Children’s activity bags and a reading area are available during the service. As needed, a parent and baby can step away to our Comfort Room and continue to hear the service.
11:00 am Midway through worship, children age 3–Grade 5 depart for Chapel Time or Sunday School. Children of any age may also remain in the Sanctuary for the whole service.
11:30 am Friendship Hour! People of all ages enjoy good food and company - a great way to end our morning with one another.
