Nursery

Kids Nursery"Children are a blessing from the Lord: Babies are a reward." (Psalm 127:3)

Our nurseries offer a loving and warm atmosphere for your little one from birth through 23 months. We believe the nursery is an important step in teaching your child of Jesus’ love. We provide the basis: Jesus loves you!

A nursery is available for babies and toddlers during each worship service. Children are cared for in a safe, sanitized, and secure environment with a separate room for different age groups as follows:

  • Sleepers (0-6 months) - B102
  • Crawlers (7-12 months) - B101
  • Walkers (13-17 months) - B103
  • Talkers (18-23 months) - E111C

This also allows the parents to enjoy a distraction-free worship and learning atmosphere.

Moms-To-Be

Kingsway Kids' Nursery offers a great ministry for Moms-to-be! We'd love to be able to help provide guidance and support as well as meals after the arrival of your new addition. Please let us know if you or someone you know is expecting, contact our Nursery Coordinator, .

Promotion

Promotion into the crawler's, walker's, and talker's room is based upon a child's ability.

Once a child is in the talker's room, promotion is based on the child's age. Promotion occurs quarterly on the first Sunday of March, June, September, and December. Children have to have already had their birthdays to be promoted. If they have not had their birthday by the first of the month we promote, they remain in the younger age group until the next promotion.
