Limited Children's Ministry Returning on 2/28

WE’RE STARTING WITH AGES 0-2 AND WILL EXPAND WITH TIME

This past year has presented many unique challenges to parents with small children - in virtually every sector of life, the normal routine has been upended. This includes church - there has been no children’s ministry or childcare for nearly an entire year now. We’re thrilled to announce that we’re finally moving toward resuming our children’s ministry programming.

WE BELIEVE PARENTS, NOT CHURCH PROGRAMS, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIMARY DISCIPLESHIP OF CHILDREN

Thankfully, this hasn’t meant that children have been left without discipleship and age-appropriate teaching from God’s Word entirely. That responsibility rests biblically and primarily with parents. And we’ve seen God’s grace evidenced in the families of our church this past year in this way!

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY ACTS AS A HELPFUL SUPPORT TO PARENTS

However, children’s ministry often acts as a boon and support of this discipleship. It often also frees parents of infant and toddler children to worship together with the congregation and sit under the preached Word in an undistracted way. In other words, childcare can help parents “fill up” in order to more effectively “pour out” to their kids.

ALL HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS WILL BE TAKEN

We’re working on digital check-in options. Surfaces will be sanitized. Adult volunteers will wear masks.

If you have children older than two years, thanks for your patience. We’ll roll out childcare for the next age group soon. Finally, as is always the case, we’ll need volunteers. All parents with children receiving childcare will be asked to volunteer at least once a month. But all others would be welcome to volunteer as well.
