Early Childhood ministry is designed to maximize the value of play time, our team uses every opportunity to model and teach about loving each other the way that God loves us. We sing songs and tell stories from the Bible. 

WHAT TO EXPECT ON A SUNDAY MORNING.

On the First Sunday of the month, you and your kids, kindergarten age and up, are invited to join us for Celebration Sunday, our all church service. The service often includes a child-friendly message and being led in worship by children and students. Look outside the doors into the sanctuary for activity packets and crayons!  

For our youngest worshippers, we are always here to take them in their dedicated space. If you have nursery-age children (0 through 4 yrs old), you may check them in at one of our check-in stations before service.  Feel free to grab a greeter to ask for directions!  

• Baby Room (birth - early walkers) is located in Family Life 104
• Toddler Room (walkers - 35 months) is in Hutchins Hall 101
• Preschool Room (ages 3 and 4) is in Ortlund Hall 104

Check-in: We do our best to keep all our kids safe, so for 3rd grade and below, you will check in your child electronically and receive a set of stickers: one for the child to wear, one to put on the check-in sheet, and one for you to use to pick your child up when church is over! 

• If you've even come one time before, you're probably in our system, so come see if you can print a sticker
• If you are brand new, you can pre-register here so that you are ready to go when you arrive!   
• If you have a new baby, please create or log into your Lake Avenue account and add your new family member so they can have a sticker as well!  

If this is your first time, we encourage you to accompany your child to see where they will be spending their time and so you know where to pick them up when service is ending.
