Childcare is provided for children ages 6 months–3 years old. Our staff members provide familiar faces and loving arms to welcome and comfort your child. We provide this ministry so that parents of young children can worship without worry! Childcare is offered at these times.
If it’s your first time visiting childcare, please fill out a visitor form to help us care for your little one! Fill it out online here Monday-Thursday or in person when you check your children in on Sunday.
