Welcome to our Nursery Department......  

Your child is special to us, and it is our desire to be ministers of Christ’s love as we serve you and your family.  Qualified, loving and caring workers staff our nursery.  Our desire is to provide the most caring and secure environment possible as we teach about God’s love by precept and example.  If you have any questions, suggestions, or would like to serve in our nursery, please feel free to contact our coordinator.

Check in and check out

A greeter will welcome you and your baby. Please fill out the sign-in sheet and take a pager. Write the pager number down on the sign-in sheet. Please put the pager next to your body, as it will vibrate silently if you are needed to return to the nursery. After the service, please come promptly to pick up your child. You will need to sign them out and return the pager in order to pick up your child.

Well Baby Nursery

We operate a well-baby nursery, so please make sure your child is well. For the protection of all the children in our care, we cannot accept a child who has been vomiting, has a cold, the flu,
a fever, rash, runny nose, persistent cough, diarrhea, or any other signs of illness. We request that you not put your child in the nursery while they are at risk of exposing other children, for 24 hours after having any of the above symptoms. Thank you for helping us keep our nursery a healthy place for all.

What to Bring

Please include the following in a small
diaper bag:
• at least two disposable diapers
• wipes
• change of clothes
• a comfort item for your child
(pacifier, blanket, etc)
• a bottle or a spill-proof cup

Please clearly label ALL of your child’s belongings to ensure that these items are returned.

Snacks

Crackers and Cheerios are provided for babies who are able to sit up by themselves.
Toddlers (12-24 mos) may also be fed animal crackers, goldfish, or graham crackers. We will serve fluids that you provide in a bottle or sippy cup, or we will provide water. If your child has a food allergy, please inform the nursery greeter when you sign in your child.

Nursery Cleanliness

• We disinfect all toys after use, in order to ensure that our nursery is clean and safe for your child.
• Nursery staff uses disposable gloves for diapering each child and hands are washed with anti-bacterial soap and warm water after each child has been changed.
• The nursery room and cribs are cleaned and disinfected after each use.

Cry Room

A cry room is located down the hall from the nursery. There are rocking chairs, a changing table, a one-way window into the sanctuary, and it has a sound feed from the sanctuary.
It provides nursing mothers a comfortable atmosphere to attend to your child’s needs while still participating in the service.
