Tender care is given to our children by the Nursery Coordinator and volunteers. Our goal is much higher than just "providing a baby-sitting service." We strive to love every child, to teach Bible basics, to promote a secure and safe environment, and to help babies and toddlers develop social and play skills.

Nursery care is available during all worship services, from 7:45 am to 12:00 pm on Sundays and from 4:30 pm to 8:00 pm on Wednesday evenings.

Our nursery rooms are 135 and 137 located in the east hallway on the main floor.

Notes to Parents
For our Nursery Ministry to be most effective, we ask that you assist us in the following ways:

• Sign your child in and out.
• Label belongings with the child’s name.
• Fill in a registration form the first time your child attends class.
• Keep children with a fever, virus, or contagious illness at home.

He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them. -Mark 10: 14, 16

The Preschool Ministry at Christ United Methodist Church delights in providing for the spiritual nurture of preschool children. We understand that our church is the primary partner with the parent in forming a lasting love of God.

KinderWorship

Designed for and led by children, KinderWorship introduces worship concepts to children ages 3 through Kindergarten. While traditional liturgy, like the Doxology and the Lord's Prayer, is memorized; children are allowed freedom of movement in large motor activity, games, and art projects. The Scriptures taught every week follow the lectionary. KinderWorship is a excellent mix of story, scripture, music, movement and creative art. This program is offered during the 9:00 sanctuary worship.

Preschool Learning Centers: Little Disciples

Each Sunday is a new and exciting faith experience as children move from one center to the next, learning about God's love and its relevance to their lives. Centers include but are not limited to: The Reader's Nook, Music and Movement, Creation Station and Arts & Crafts. Learning centers will take place during the education hour from 10:10 am to 10:55 am.

Our preschool rooms are 133 and 134 located at the north end of the east hallway on the main floor.
