Our mission is to create a thriving nursery ministry that has a lasting and profound impact on children and families. By placing family at the forefront, we strive to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment that truly makes a difference.
At our church and kids ministry, we wholeheartedly embrace families with love, care, and unwavering support. We deeply understand the immeasurable value of family and the pivotal role parents play in the spiritual and emotional growth of their children. By valuing and partnering with parents, we create a sense of belonging and unity that is truly transformative.
In addition to our unwavering focus on family, we also prioritize the physical aspects of our nursery area. Our goal is to craft a serene and tranquil space that brings comfort to even the fussiest of babies. With a warm and inviting layout, adorned with soft colors, cozy furniture, and age-appropriate toys, we ensure an environment that is both inviting and soothing.
We recognize the unique needs of nursing mothers and provide a dedicated feeding room and a quiet area for little ones who need a break from the hustle and bustle. Every detail in our nursery area reflects our commitment to supporting both the child and the parent.
By attending to these vital details, we create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere that embraces both children and parents. Now, let us share with you three impactful ways to truly make a lasting difference in the lives of families in your nursery area. Create a warm and inviting atmosphere, offer personalized care and unwavering attention, and foster a strong sense of community and belonging. Together, we can create a nurturing space that enriches the lives of both children and parents alike!
Spread Love and Support to Parents!
Make parents feel like cherished members of your family! When moms and dads arrive, give them your undivided attention. Look into their weary eyes and genuinely ask how they're doing. Show care and concern for them as individuals, recognizing that they are not just parents handing over their precious little bundle of joy.
While having appropriate facilities is crucial, it's equally important to forge deep connections with these families. Actively engage with them, taking the time to understand their unique needs and preferences. Shower them with affection, creating an environment where they feel truly valued and supported. Let's create a place filled with love and inspiration for both parents and children!
Helping Families Connect:
To cultivate a profound sense of belonging and unwavering support within our church family, let us extend a compassionate hand to families in need. One impactful approach is to embrace the concept of "adoptive grandparents" within our church community. These caring individuals can offer invaluable support by providing babysitting services, granting parents the opportunity to recharge and prioritize their well-being. By addressing their fundamental needs, such as supplying diapers and connecting them with local assistance organizations, we can alleviate some of the burdens they face and establish a more stable and nurturing environment for their children.
However, our support should not end there. Let us also focus on fostering connections among these families and others who are experiencing similar life seasons. By cultivating a sense of community and shared experiences, we can forge a support network where families can lean on one another for guidance, encouragement, and understanding. This profound sense of belonging and connection can genuinely make a remarkable difference in their lives, strengthening the bonds within our church family.
Through acts of kindness and genuine care, we can embody the love we aspire to receive from our church family. Let us unite as a powerful team, devoted to empowering these families to thrive in all aspects of their lives. With our unwavering support, we can create a nurturing environment that uplifts these families and generates a positive impact on our entire community.
Encourage them to serve!
Active engagement in nursery services is an incredibly valuable and fulfilling experience for young parents. By actively participating in the nursery, parents not only nurture their own babies but also have the opportunity to learn from experienced caregivers and build a strong and supportive network for guidance. This involvement allows parents to gain valuable parenting insights and develop a deep understanding of their child's growth and development.
Moreover, being actively engaged in nursery services helps parents form lasting friendships and support systems with other parents who are going through similar experiences. These connections provide a sense of community and the opportunity to exchange advice and support each other on their parenting journey.
In addition to the social benefits, actively participating in the nursery also contributes to the development of essential skills. Parents learn to multitask, manage their time effectively, and communicate with children of different ages and personalities. These skills are not only valuable in the context of parenthood but also transferable to various aspects of life.
The sense of fulfillment derived from actively contributing to the well-being of children is immeasurable. It boosts self-confidence and empowers young parents in their journey of parenthood. By embracing this opportunity for personal growth and making a lasting impact in the lives of little ones, parents can truly make a difference.
So, if you are a young parent seeking personal growth, a sense of fulfillment, and the opportunity to positively impact the lives of children, don't hesitate to start your rewarding journey with nursery services today! Together, let's make a lasting and meaningful difference in the lives of our little ones!

We give our parents the gift of caring and discipling their children for an hour each week so that they can have a 1 hour breather to worship, learn, grow, talk to friends without babies and toddlers crawling all over them. We have a full team - equal parts men and women - without needing to ask any of the parents of our 5 and unders to do what they do every hour, every day and every week. I make it a point to never ask a young parent to volunteer doing what they do every day. Our children belong to the entire Church and so we ALL commit to them. The nursery is our fastest growing population and…
