Nursery

The mission of the Nursery is to serve the church and the local community by providing a welcoming, safe, loving, and nurturing environment that promotes and shares the love of Christ through curriculum, play, and creative expression.

 

Sunday Nursery

On Sunday mornings our Nursery opens at 9:30am – childcare is provided during the 11am Worship Service, and closes at 12:15pm.

 

The Nursery is a safe place on our campus where children (ages 4 months – 3 years) are cared for while their parents are involved in worship. All of our nursery staff are equipped with training to properly care for infants and toddlers, and are all CPR and First Aid certified by the American Heart Association. Any Questions? Contact Christin Ritter at critter@fpch.org for info.

 

Nursery Location

The Nursery is located on the lower level of the Chrisitian Education building between the Labaig Street entrance and Crossley Theater, across from Mears Center and the playground.

Annual Events

 

Family Fun Nights

Join us on several Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:30pm in the Mears Center and Mears Courtyard during the summer months when we gather for food and fun and enjoy time as a church family! These delightful nights include movies, outdoor games, sidewalk chalk fun, board games, Bible trivia, and prayer for our children.

 

Vacation Bible School
This fun, week-long adventure which includes Bible stories, and all kinds of fun activities takes place every year at FPCH. Adult volunteers guide children from Pre-K through 6th grade in activities that explore the heart of God and the meaning of Scripture. Watch for information about registration on the News & Events page.

 

Volunteer Trainings

We love our volunteers – our programs truly wouldn’t happen without them! That’s why we plan several training sessions each year. These meetings help guide volunteers through the Biblical heart of teaching and caring for children, the practical tools of developmentally appropriate teaching, and standard procedures of caring for families and young children. Staff are also available throughout the year to work with smaller teams or individual volunteers to help meet the needs of their classroom.
