How will you contact me if my child needs me?
You will receive a pager when you sign your child in. If your child becomes inconsolable or unwell, the caregiver will page you. If you are paged, please return to the nursery. If you would like to see the remaining portion of the worship service, you may take your child to the Cry Room located in the back of the Worship Center where you will be able to view the entire service.

Once your child attends regularly, you will be able to help serve as a Volunteer Helper in our Wading Pool Nursery. After going through our background check process, most parents rotate, helping in at least one service per month.
