What about my children?
Infants through 4 years of age
A safe, caring environment is provided during the 8:45 am & 11:00 am worship services in our child care area for infants through 4 years of age. During the Sunday school hour, age-appropriate Biblical themed experiences are offered for infants through 4 years of age.
A Time for the Child in All of Us
During the 11:00am worship service, all children are invited to join us down front in the sanctuary for a time just for them! Afterwards, children in kindergarten through 2nd grade are invited to follow the leader to the Godly Play Room for Children's Church. We believe that kids should have a hands-on and fully engaged experience at church every single week — and at Godly Play, we make this a priority.
Where do I park?
Parking lots are available on the 4th Avenue and the State Street sides of the church.
