LittleOnes
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
A Safe and Loving Place
In the LittleOnes Nursery & Preschool, your infant, toddler, and preschooler will be cared for and surrounded by dedicated people who believe in verses like Proverbs 22:6. Our goal is to provide a loving, safe environment where your child can grow spiritually – and simply have fun and enjoy time here! We believe that at a young age, your child can begin his or her relationship with Jesus. He or she can know who God is and how a relationship with Him is the foundation for life. Your entire family’s experience at church is important to us, so we make sure that LittleOnes is available during all weekly adult services and specially-noted events.
Passing on True Faith
Our goal is to partner together with you to pass on authentic faith to your children. Together, we will help you raise, train, and strengthen your child’s faith – and grow a generation of children who know their God and His Word – inspired and prepared to impact the world.
Infants
Infants receive individual attention. Trained volunteers hold your child, talk with your child, and pray for your child. In every service, we’ll attend to your child’s spiritual needs, as well as physical needs.
Toddlers & Preschoolers
Your toddler and preschooler will enjoy a playtime, a time of praise and worship, and a brief lesson including hands-on, creative activities to make the Bible come alive. Then your child is served a simple snack and enjoys a craft time and more activities or play. All of this is designed to engage your child in pleasant, happy moments in a safe and caring environment.
Locations
The LittleOnes classrooms for children 0-2 years old are located to the left of the main entrance, in the foyer just past the bookstore. For your convenience, a nursing mother’s room and family restroom are located in this area as well. Classrooms for children 3-5 years old are located down the hallway that begins in front of LittleOnes Nursery.
Sign In
When you come to the Children’s Ministry Connections Counter located in front of the classrooms, you’ll be able to check your child in using our computer system that makes checking in easy and hassle-free. Your child will receive a name tag with an individual ID number; you will receive an identification tag that matches your child. If for any reason you need to be reached while in the service, your child’s ID number will be displayed on the three large screens in the adult service.
Pick Up
For the security of each child, you must show your child’s identification tag to the teacher when picking him or her up from class. Children are released only to the person who shows this tag.
Leadership
Pastor Kristin Porter leads a trained and dedicated team of volunteers who believe a relationship with Jesus Christ begins early on in life. Matthew 5:14-16 says, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Together, we will help your child become a bright, positive, magnificent light bringing hope to the world.
