Rainbow Time

During Last Half of the 10:45 a.m. service

This is a program for 3 - 6 year old children. After Children's Time, the children are excused from the regular worship service to attend Rainbow. They are met at the front of the church and led to a classroom where they are served a snack and have a story. The Bible stories use active participation to involve the children, and follow the gospel lesson for the day. Crafts or other hands-on activities also help teach the children about the story. The children are picked up from the Rainbow room by a parent after the service.

Nursery

A nursery is available for infants and children through 3 years at all worship services as well as for many of the church programs.
