Childcare services are available on Sunday mornings and for many special events so that families can fully participate in the life of the congregation. Our staff offer tender loving care in a safe and nurturing environment. September through May childcare is provided from 9:15 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Sundays. In the summer when there is only one worship service at 11:00 a.m. childcare is provided from 10:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

If you’re new to our community look for someone in a red apron who can help your family find the childcare center, sign in, and answer any questions. Going to visit us soon? Here is more info to help you plan your visit.

Event leaders may download a form for reserving child care here.
