I'm New!
Frequently Asked Questions and General Information
What program do I attend based on my grade in school?
- Sunday School starts in September and welcomes children who are entering Kindergarten-5th Grade. Classes start at 9:30 am, conveniently between the 8:30 and 10:30 worship services. (There are also adult classes for anyone interested.) Sunday School takes a Summer Break starting just before Memorial Day, when the worship service time changes. (During the summer there is only 1 worship service at 9:30am on Sunday, instead of the usual "winter" schedule of 2 worship services at 8:30 and 10:30.)
- Nursery Care is provided during the 9:30-10:30 Sunday School hour (and after the Time for Children during worship) for children who are not yet attending Kindergarten.
- Youth Group meets every Sunday morning 9:30-10:30 for Hot Topics on the stage for 6th grade in September-12th grade. The Youth Group also has events and fundraisers throughout the fall and spring! We'll also do our best to keep you updated about inter-church youth events happening at other UCC congregations in our conference.
Where can my child go during church?
Anywhere you're most comfortable! Children are welcome and beloved members of our congregation. Here are some options:
- Nursery Care is provided after our Time for Children (approx. 15 minutes into service, usually).
- Please feel free use one of the Sunday Satchels located at the back of the church for your child to play with during the service. The Satchels have age-appropriate quiet games for play, books to browse, and crayons and coloring pages.
