Children up to age three may attend Nursery Care during church services. This program is offered throughout the year.
Our nursery caregivers are trained and certified through a national program, Safeguarding God’s Children. To ensure our children’s safety, we always have two caregivers in each classroom.
Children can play with age-appropriate toys, engage in arts and crafts, read books, or have a little dramatic play.
Nursery Care is provided downstairs from 9:45 - 11:30 AM on Sunday mornings.

Children ages three through grade five are welcome to attend Sunday School during church services. Children must be potty-trained to attend Sunday School.
As Episcopalians, we structure our Sunday school year around the church calendar. Whenever possible, we use a curriculum that helps our children develop a foundational understanding of the liturgy and Eucharist while staying in step with the lectionary. We believe this approach will not only deepen their understanding of the Episcopal Church, but also create opportunities for greater participation within the church community.
To build a foundation for understanding the liturgical calendar and the Eucharist, we use the Episcopal Children's Curriculum, developed by Virginia Theological Seminary. We also use Sparkhouse, a theologically sound, multimedia curriculum. By mirroring the lessons of the lectionary, we engage the children in developmentally appropriate discussions and activities.
Sunday School is provided downstairs from 9:45 - 11:30 AM on Sunday mornings. There is no Sunday School during the summer months.
