For our Children

​As a community, we cherish children not just because they are the future of our church; we cherish them because they are a full part of our community right here and right now. We are delighted to offer numerous ways for our children to connect - with one another, with those in our church, and with God. 

Activities and Special Events

Each Sunday in 10am Worship

Children are 110% welcome in our worship services, with their wiggles, giggles and all!

Worship bags filled with coloring sheets, manipulatives, and more are available for all children when they enter the sanctuary. There is also a shelf of books children may choose from to bring into worship. 
​Children are invited to the front of the Sanctuary during the Time for Children near the beginning of the service. After the Time for Children, children are escorted to the Children's Wing for Godly Play. Outdoor play will be also available when the weather permits.

Nursery care for infants and toddlers is available each Sunday from 9:45 to 11:15am. On the first Sunday of the month, childcare is available from 8:30-9:15 am for all ages for those who wish to attend the 8:30 am Early Service (held outdoors when weather permits). 

Each Sunday: Worship and Wonder

The four rooms in our Children's Wing were fully reorganized during the pandemic and are so excited to welcome the creativity and curiosity of children again!
​
  • Nursery Care is available for infants and toddlers each Sunday from 9:45-11:15 am. Parents and guardians may drop their children off in the Nursery before the service if they choose. 
  • Worship and Wonder with Godly Play will be available to Kindergarten and older after the Time for Children in the 10am worship service. ​Children may stay with their families until this time in the service and will walk back to the Children's Wing together. Parents may pick up from classrooms after worship. 
  • Special note: On the first Sunday of the month, childcare for all ages is also available from 8:30-9:15 am for those who wish to attend the 8:30 am Outdoor Service. 

Second Sunday Socials 

Each month, we create a time of fellowship and fun for folks in our church. We call this our "Second Sunday Socials" and most often we meet up at Aviator Pizza and Drafthouse (just down the road from the church at 4005 W. Parmer Ln.) to enjoy lunch and time together. The restaurant has a playground and is very kid-friendly. Sometimes we plan an on-campus event on the second Sunday. This time gives everyone, especially our young families, an opportunity to visit and connect beyond our normal offerings.

Next time at Aviator's: October 9, November 13, December 11
