Nursery is available for the littlest of our children! Parents will need to bring bottles, diapers, and any special instructions for their babies. If parents would like to stay with their child in the nursery while watching the live stream, they are welcome. The nursery is open from 10:00 am to noon on Sundays.

Additional hours are available upon advance request so that adults can attend church activities outside that time.

All volunteers/staff undergo a thorough background check to ensure the children safety that we teach during service times.

Our K-5th grade classes are conducted by Ms. Trish and often a church member volunteering. First Sundays are dedicated tocooking!

In this class, the students are introduced to open discussions pertaining to the topic at hand by following the seven principles we abide by..

We share with our children and youth the various concepts of God held by the world's major religions. They do arts and crafts, story time, often sign along! 

We teach that coming back to our centers, prayer, and meditation are ways to connect with the spiritual part of oneself, others, and the planet.

We view worship as connecting with one another, celebrating our values, and exploring our spiritual selves. We find ways to be involved in multigenerational services as often as we can because one day, our teenagers will be in the positions that we are in. We strive to provide and support the foundation our youth’s values are built upon.

We also follow the monthly themed curriculum that enables us to embark on virtual field trips to the places of worship to gain a better understanding and respect for said practices.
