Nursery
The GS Nursery is for children birth to age three and is open during all Sunday services. If your child is not quite ready to leave you, we have a secure area in the nursery lobby with couches and a live service feed for those with babies and children who might get fussy. We also have a Nursing Mother's Suite in this area for moms who need privacy.
GS Nursery volunteers are background checked and highly trained to ensure the safest possible environment for your little one. Parents are given a pager to wear while their babies are in the nursery should he or she become fussy and need you.

GS Kids is for potty trained three year olds through 5th grade and have programming during all Sunday services. Preschool and kindergarten meet in classrooms where they hear a Bible story, play games and make crafts.
First through fifth graders enjoy a large group time of drama, media and music along with small group interactions to reinforce the lesson.

Children Who Benefit from Extra Support
We believe every child should have the opportunity to learn about Jesus in a way that is accessible, engaging, and supportive. For families of children with special needs or those who benefit from additional assistance, we currently offer two accommodations designed to help your child thrive in our ministry environments.
Our Sensory Zone (Sundays at 10:30 AM) provides a calm, structured space for children who benefit from a unique environment tailored to their sensory or learning needs. This space is designed to reduce overstimulation while still offering meaningful spiritual engagement with the help of specially trained volunteers. We also offer Buddies (Sundays at 10:30 AM)—one-on-one volunteers who are specially trained to support children during our children’s ministry programming. Buddies help ensure your child can participate in a way that feels safe and empowering.
Both accommodations are available for children in 5th grade and younger. To ensure we can provide the best support possible, we require families to meet with our team and share important information about their child before they are able to participate in the Sensory Zone or being paired with a Buddy. We are committed to continuing to grow in this area and look forward to expanding our accommodations in the future.
