Our nursery is staffed with two background-checked childcare providers, who attentively care for our youngest attendees so parents can fully engage with service and coffee hour. The nursery is the first room on the right after entering the classroom hallway. There is also an unstaffed “cry room” in the back left of the sanctuary where the service can be seen and heard via speakers.

Youth Group for teens is self-directed by the youth with support and guidance from adult mentors.
For the 2024-25 school year, middle and high school students are gathering together using the Becoming Coming-of-Age curriculum.

Our Whole Lives (OWL) for adolescents is offered about every other year. Unlike other classes, this one begins with a mandatory parent/guardian orientation and closes to new registrations after it begins, to foster a trusting and committed small group for this intensive course taught by specially trained facilitators. The next session of OWL is tentatively scheduled for the 2025-26 school year.
