Main Level Children's HallwayChildcare is provided while a parent or guardian is attending a MidWeek Grace class.
Infants = Purple Room
1-year-olds = Blue Room

Your child will be lovingly cared for by Volunteers who have been screened, background checked, and trained. Your child will enjoy free play and snuggles in our safe, well-equipped nursery rooms.
Parents or guardians must be attending a MidWeek Grace class or serving at the church.
Do I need to bring anything?
Please bring the supplies your child will need for the duration of their stay. While we have a few extra supplies, children are most comforted by the items they are used to. To save time, please label your child’s items before drop-off. If you forget, we will have tape and markers available.
What will my child be doing?
We love getting to connect with babies and toddlers. We play together, enjoy a snack, and read a Bible story.
For more information, see our FAQ’s page.
What is available for your use?
Nursing Room: This room is reserved for nursing moms only and is found just inside our Purple (Infant) Room. You may come and go as needed. There are comfortable gliders and a TV, where the Worship Service is live-streamed.
Cry Room: This room is just outside the Worship Center and can be used by all members of the family. The Worship Service is live-streamed, so you can still be a part of the service, while you tend to your child in a more relaxed atmosphere.
Changing Stations: There is a Diaper Changing Station in all our public restrooms. You are also welcome to use the Changing Station in our Purple (Infant) or Blue (Toddler) Rooms, where you will have access to wet wipes and diapers if needed.

Our Kidz Klub is a place for your child to have fun, while learning Biblical truths. The evening is a bit more high energy and might include some messy activities, so please dress your child to play and have fun!
Our Volunteers have been screened, background checked, and trained to care for your child. They love working with preschoolers and look forward to each Wednesday night.
What your child will be learning: We use Group’s Hands On Bible Curriculum. We’ll learn about different concepts of the Bible in fun and engaging ways.
What your child might do: Your child will engage in a variety of activities, such painting, playing games, eating snacks that go with the lesson, and singing silly songs. There is a Bible Lesson time where your child will learn more about God, the Bible, and Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross.
If your preschooler needs you: You will be paged (see {How do I check in my child?} for more information) if your child should need you during the evening. Just come back to the room and the Coordinator will explain why you were paged.
Parents or Guardians should remain in the building while their child attends Kidz Klub.
+ Pioneer Girls
(1st - 6th Grade Girls)When?
During the school year (6:30-8pm)Where?
Lower Level
(Rooms 004, 006, 008, 009, 017)Pioneer Girls is a time for fun, developing friendships, and learning about our Savior. Your daughter will connect with other girls led by a female Guide who comes alongside her as a mentor to train them how Christian girls should live and think.
What your child will be doing: Club begins with saying the pledges and prayer. Most of the evening will be spent working on earning badges, much like Girl Scouts. They might bake something in the kitchen, put together a birdhouse, make a collage, or go hiking. Then it’s time for “Bible Ex” (exploration), where the girls will dig into their Bibles to learn more about what it means to be a girl who follows God. But there is plenty of time for goofiness, too! Don’t be surprised if your girl comes home singing a silly song! Club is lots of fun!
Special Events: There are a few main events throughout the year:
Christmas Party
Father-Daughter Dinner
Overnight CampTo find out more information about the Pioneer Clubs click here.

The evening includes saying the pledges and prayer. There is a Bible lesson time for learning more about what it means to be a man who follows God, which the boys see demonstrated in their Rangers’ lives. They will also spend part of the evening working on earning badges, much like Boy Scouts. But the favorite part of the evening for the boys is playing high energy games, where a boy can be a boy!
Builders (3rd & 4th Grade) and Sentinels (5th & 6th Grade): Boys’ Brigade is a high-energy club that meets the boys where they’re at and encourages them to live their life as men of God. The evening includes saying pledges and prayer. There is an engaging Bible lesson given by one of the Rangers. A big part of their evening is working on badges, much like the Boy Scouts. But the favorite part for the boys is the high energy game, where they can bring out the boy in them.

+ Women's Study (Starts 8/23/2023)
Front Porch (Room 116)Amy Walters
The Book of HebrewsThe book of Hebrews is shrouded in mystery: the author, unknown; the audience, debatable; the content, difficult.
Despite the mystery surrounding the details, the overall message is certain: Jesus is better. This message rings from every chapter, challenging us to examine ourselves and determine if we truly believe it and truly live it.
This fall, we will dive in and study Hebrews together. Through careful reading and deep discussion, we will tackle these challenging passages, trusting that what God reveals to us will change our lives. It will be worth it because Jesus is better.
