CHILDREN’S MINISTRY & NURSERY
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19: 14. We love having wiggling, moving, happy children at TPC. Children learn how to worship and interact with God by watching us and by creatively responding to God with their hands and feet and minds.
A CHILDREN’S BLESSING
Children are important at TPC! During worship services, children are invited to come to the front for a blessing and/or message, before being dismissed to the nursery (0 – 3 years) or Young Children & Worship (4 – 12 years).
A NURSERY
During the worship service, after the Children’s Blessing, children, 0 – 4 years, are welcome in our Children’s Ministry Nursery space. A story, craft, snack and activities are provided for your children in the nursery. Toys and furniture are sanitized regularly. On Communion Sundays (first Sunday of each month) Communion is provided for volunteers and children.
The nursery is staffed by volunteers who have been background-checked. Two unrelated adults (over the age of 18) will be in the nursery during the church service. Parents are welcome to bring children to the setting and help with their child’s adjustment. There is also a Family Restroom adjacent to the nursery that is available.
YOUNG CHILDREN & WORSHIP
After the Children’s Blessing in worship, children, ages 4+ are invited to Young Children & Worship (‘YC&W’), a Montessori-styled children’s church. YC&W is a worship-space for children to hear and respond to God’s word at their level. Trained, background-checked, Storytellers and Greeters help our children hear and engage a Bible story in a way appropriate to their age, free creative time to do a craft, color, engage with wooden story materials and share a “feast” (snack) together. Children are picked up by their family at the end of the service.
If you have questions about the Early Childhood or Nursery program or are interested in volunteering please contact Diane at youth@timnathpres.org.
