Room 102 on the Main Level

The Nursery is open at the beginning of the service. Nursery-age children can start in the nursery or be brought there when the older kids are dismissed. 

The nursery children (6 months through age 3) are shown the love of Jesus with open arms for hugging, laps for reading, and tunes for singing. Children have places to play with blocks, baby dolls, books, and trucks when they arrive. During circle time, children hear a Bible story. Each child receives prayer from a volunteer (indicated by the sticker on their backs), and they end their time together by cleaning up before reconnecting with their caregivers. Volunteers are warm and welcoming; their attention and love provide a place of God’s safety and trust for these precious hearts.

Room 101 on the Main Level

Our preschoolers adventure through the Bible together, looking for how Jesus is in each part, giving us hope and showing us love in action. This class ponders questions like, ‘What is God’s big story?’ and ‘How is he asking me to be a part of his story?’ Our lessons incorporate storytelling, faith modeling, and responses for different learning styles. During class we will play, sing, listen, pray, act it out, and be sent back to our families to keep learning and growing!

Room 002 on the Lower Level

Wonder is at the heart of the K-1 classroom: both wondering, asking questions with a curious mind and an open heart, and wonder, experiencing awe at the way that God has come close to His people. In this class, children are invited to enter into the Christian story physically, spiritually, and imaginatively. They gather together to hear a story about God’s interaction with His people and then respond individually in various ways—whether drawing, modeling with clay, or retelling the story for themselves using story materials. Our time ends in a moment for each child to receive a blessing. In this class, we seek to encourage the children’s natural ability to connect to God and to each other.

Room 001 on the Lower Level

In the 2-3rd grade classroom, students and teachers dig deeper into the stories in Scripture. We believe faith is fueled by wonder and curiosity, so you’ll see those two values in the classroom. Through asking questions and wondering about how the stories in Scripture apply to their lives now, students will take what they learn into their homes and communities. We also pray that children in 2-3rd grade will deepen their friendships and connections with one another and the church body.

Room 003 on the Lower Level

Everyone loves a good story. A good story takes you places you’ve never been and introduces you to people you’ve never met. A good story sticks with you and can even change the way you think. The Bible is full of amazing stories that have been told and retold countless times. Over the course of two years, the 4th-5th grade class experiences the stories of the Old and New Testament. We listen, retell, wonder, and look for connections to the bigger story–God’s story. We hope the children realize their individual roles in God’s story, make it their own, and share His love with others. We encourage this by offering multiple opportunities for these youth to serve the broader church throughout the year.
