We offer Sunday School and Nursery care most weeks. Our Sunday School is staffed with volunteers who lovingly teach using Grow curriculum. All volunteers have completed our Safe Sanctuary background check to ensure the safety of children, youth, and vulnerable adults.

  • Nursery care is available at 9:15 & 10:45 every Sunday. Babies- 2 year old children check into the nursery at 9:15. At 10:45 children babies-5 years old are welcome in the nursery.

Summer Sunday School

June 21- July 19 Bloom in the Desert

Preschool & Elementary Sunday School: Inspired by the beautiful, resilient flowers of the North American desert, these resources explore how God calls each one of us to bloom – and also to welcome the stranger, reach out to one another in generosity, and so together create a garden where everyone can thrive.

Sunday, July 5 is Family First Sunday - elementary kids go to worship as usual

July 26 - VBS Sunday

Nursery Care Only - All Other Kids Go To Worship
 

August 2- September 5 Sing! Play! Summer!

Preschool Sunday School: Celebrate the summer through the twin delights of faith and music, tapping your toes and singing along to the bluegrass-and-gospel sounds of SALT’s internationally-acclaimed house band, Butterflyfish! Each song brings a biblical story or theological idea to life, making it a springboard for activities the whole family can enjoy. So kick off your shoes, lay under the stars, or gather round the campfire: music is one of God’s greatest gifts, and this summer is the perfect time to savor it.

 
Kids in Worship

Whether we are worshiping at home or at church, or anywhere along our way, it can be challenging with young kids to keep them engaged. Elementary kids attend worship with their families the first Sunday of each month. To make children’s time in worship more meaningful check out these strategies. You may find them helpful too!
