Our Purpose
“But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ” (2 Timothy 2:14-15).
We exist to equip children to treasure the character and worth of God above all else by teaching His Word, praying by His spirit, and modeling His example. We provide childcare and classes for Infants through 5th grade.
First time here?
Welcome! We look forward to welcoming you and making your child(ren) feel comfortable in our classrooms. On Sundays, come see us at the Welcome Center to check your child(ren) in and we can help you find the right classroom(s). If you've been with us before, come see us in the CE-wing and we can help you check-in at the kiosks in the hall. Each child will recieve a name-tag and each parent will recieve a pick-up tag. On Wednesdays, enter through the CE-wing doors and talk to someone at the attendance tables in the hallway. We're looking forward to having you!
Sundays
Nursery Care
Care for Infants is generally for ages 6 weeks to 9 months. Care for Crawlers and Walkers is generally from age 9 months to 24 months. However, you can speak with our Nursery Superintendent to help determine where your child which room would be best equipped to help to meet the needs of your child.
Children's Classes
Our classes exist to continually present the truth of God's Word to little ones with the prayer that God will open the eyes of their hearts to the beauty of his goodness to us in Christ that they might learn to delight in His truth and rely on him for all things.
