"Children are a gift from God, they are a reward from him."

Nursery:.

Our nursery is always staffed with at least two wonderful attendants that are CPR certified and have been cleared by the Colorado Bureau of Investigations. They all truly love to play and nurture the children, and are experienced with special needs kids. Our adults and have extensive experience in childcare and are over the age of 18. Our Junior Attendants are are at least 14 years old and are very trustworthy. Junior Attendants are ALWAYS staffed with one or more Senior Attendants

We are blessed with a beautiful new nursery facility. It is built to current day care standards, sunny, and cheerful! We have a separate play area for babies and nursing mommies, a comfortable reading and quiet play place, a play kitchen and a workshop, active play spaces, large tables for crafts or feeding the children, and an attached bathroom with a child sized potty. The children’s art work often decorates the windows and walls. It is a very nice place to play! We hope that you will join us!

We also provide nursery for bells and choir practices, church meetings, bible studies, and social circle meetings. Children birth through 12 years are welcome during these times.
