Nursery - Every Sunday (9 am - 12 pm)
Nursery Care is available every Sunday during the church service in our dedicated nursery room. Our two experienced and caring nursery staff work diligently to provide a warm, nurturing, and secure environment where young children can feel safe and comforted while their parents participate in worship. Our nursery staff is committed to creating a loving and supportive atmosphere for the youngest members of our church family.
This program runs throughout the academic year. There will not be nursery care during church after MAY 25th, 2025.
Wonder Church
Engaging Church School for Children aged three through 5th grade
This program follows an academic calendar with the last day of formation being MAY 25th 2025
Sundays during the 10:30 am service, Drop-off begins at 10:20 am
Children are split into two age groups after their initial worship time together in the Wonder Chapel. Meet in the Wonder Chapel (to the left and down the hall from the main parking lot doors)
Wander through a forest, by a garden or near a stream with a child and you will see them fill with wonder. They stop to look at every blade of grass, every flower petal, every drop of water. They are fully present, right where they are, and they are full of wonder. Theologians have long said that when we experience wonder, we experience the holy.
Children three years old through 11-year-olds are invited to participate in Wonder Church. The Wonder Church experience will begin with Wonder Chapel. In the Wonder Chapel children are invited into a wonder-filled space where they can play with light, create art, say prayers, learn songs and experience wonder together. After about 20 minutes of worship in the Wonder Chapel, children will divide into age groups for developmentally appropriate scripture lessons and community building.
Godly Play
Preschool age three - Second Grade
Godly Play is a Montessori inspired approach to early Christian formation. Teachers use simple wooden and felt props to tell the stories of our scriptural narrative and invite children to approach these stories with curiosity and wonder. Through storytelling and play, children begin to learn the liturgical language of the Episcopal faith and gain an understanding of God's intimate presence in their lives.
Weaving God’s Promises
Third Grade - Fifth Grade
Through Weaving God’s Promises children will learn how God’s promises of salvation are woven into our lives. Children will practice Christ’s way of Love, not only in the church, but in the world. This age group is also increasingly social, so Christian Community is vital. They will eat snacks, play games and have a lot of fun too.
