WELCOME
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to minister with you and your child!

Enter the church through the entrance marked MAIN ENTRANCE.  In front of you will be the WELCOME CENTER. Stop there and we will guide you further!

Our services of worship are offered at 8:15, 9:45 and 11:15 with ministry to children at each hour. We call our Sunday morning ministry with children POWER ZONE.  Here is how each hour looks:


At 8:15:

We provide nursery care only:
 
Our Toddler nursery receives children up to 3 years old. Drop off your child prior to worship. Sign in and take a pager which allows us to call you from worship if needed.

At 9:45 and 11:15:

If you have a baby:

If your child is 6 weeks – 15 months old, drop off your child in the nursery prior to worship. Sign in and take a pager which allows us to call you from worship if needed. Children ages 15 months – 2 1/2 years are dropped off in our Toddler Nursery. Sign in and take a pager.

If you have a preschooler:

Children ages 2 ½ - pre-K are ministered to in age-graded classes as follows:

  • 2 1/2 – 3 year olds
  • 3 year olds
  • 4 year olds
Stop by the Downtown in Power Zone Welcome table in the preschool hallway for room assignment information and to pick up your Bible bag and  more! Preschoolers are dropped off in their rooms prior to worship. Pagers are available for parents of children who experience difficulty separating. (Ask the leader)
 
If you have an elementary-age child:
 
Children in Kindergarten – 4th grade are ministered to in Upstreet in Power Zone. Stop by the Upstreet Power Zone Welcome table (top of stairs, east wing) prior to worship. We will make your child a nametag and offer you an explanation of a morning in Power Zone.
 
Power Zone for elementary children begins with worship kids-style and a large group Bible lesson. Children then debrief the lesson and build community in age-graded small groups. Parents must pick up children in person.
