Children & Youth

NURSERY
We offer a nursery for infants and children through age 4 located in the church offices behind the sanctuary.Our nursery is open from 9:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Sundays. The nursery is staffed by Marilla Bottomley, a registered nurse, and volunteers. Betty Mullis, our nursery coordinator, teaches lessons using the Wee Children at church curriculum during the worship hour. Both Marilla and Betty are trained in CPR.

FAMILY ROOM
We have a family room available on the second-floor balcony of the sanctuary for parents who prefer to keep their infants or young children with them during the worship service. This enclosed room is equipped with a playpen and allows parents to see and hear the service while their little ones move about.

CHILDREN’S CHURCH
Children’s church is available for children kindergarten through 5th grade. Children are escorted from worship to Larrick Hall for age-appropriate Bible lessons, games and crafts. Fun, faith and friendship is nurtured here! Children’s church is coordinated by Karen Zinszer and a team of dedicated volunteers.

YOUTH GROUP
Youth activities occur intermittently throughout the year. Youth are invited to participate in the annual Christmas pageant, the processional of palms, and in all aspects of the worship service, including choir and handbells.
