  • Birth – Age 2

    Baptism

    Baptism is an important milestone in a child’s life. Parents who wish to have their child baptized are asked to meet with Pastor Pam or Pastor Jonathan. Parents learn about the promises made at baptism, the influence they have on their child’s faith journey and details about the baptism day.  Please call the Church Office, 645-4429, if you’d like more information.

    Nursery

    We love when children attend worship services with their families. If little ones need to take a break, St. John’s Nursery provides loving and safe childcare for children 12 weeks to 6 years of age.

    The Nursery is located in the lower level and is open every Sunday morning during the worship services.

    Preschool children, age 2 (by September 1, 2023) – age 5, along with a parent/guardian, are encouraged to come to Toddler Time!
