The purpose of our Nursery is to assist families. We recognize that every baby is a gift from God. We want to serve each parent and their child by providing for their needs. We strive to provide a safe, comfortable environment so that each child in our care feels loved and happy.
We want parents to feel comfortable leaving their child in the Nursery. We recognize that parents need time together to worship, receive the Word and be spiritually fed in order to be able to care for their children in Godly ways.

Parents are asked to avoid entering the Nursery. The Nursery counter serves as a drop off and pick up point. Separation Anxiety is a very natural thing for children to go through. A few helpful hints to consider in this situation: Stay calm, pick up your children on time, avoid long good-byes, and pass them to the nursery staff with a smile as you reassure your child. If your child does cry, we will do everything to calm them and reassure them. The more consistent you are in bringing your child to church the quicker your child will feel comfortable in the nursery.
