We love having children participate in our worship services! If you like, the ushers have activity bags with children’s bulletins and crayons for their enjoyment.
However, if you prefer, childcare for infants through second grade is available in the Activity Room (Room 206 on the second floor of the historic sanctuary building) and the MICAH childcare room on the first floor. Greeters will be available and happy to direct you and your family.
Friendly, safe, loving care is provided by our on-staff Childcare Team and trained volunteers and is available from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every Sunday.
