The Sunday School hour begins at 9:45 a.m. Some classes are centered around age and life stage, while others focus on topics and vary in form from discussion-based to lecture style. Find more information about Adult, Youth, and Children's Sunday School.

Children

A worship service with the sounds of children is a good thing! Children of all ages are always welcome to worship alongside their church family in the Sanctuary. We also offer options for specific age levels to frame their worship experience in a developmentally appropriate way.

  • Ages 0–3 (Nursery): Check–in for nursery care is in the lobby by the Children’s Ministry entrance and is open from 8:15 a.m.–12:15 p.m. 
  • Ages 4–6 (Pre-K & Kindergarten): PreK and Kindergarten children begin worship with the congregation and are invited to join Young Children & Worship (YC&W) following the Blessing of the Young Disciples. YC&W is offered at both services.
  • Ages 6+ (1st and older): Children are invited to worship alongside their families and worship activity bags are provided at each entrance to the Sanctuary.
