Wee Friends

Wee Friends Nursery is the place where children under three come to discover God's love. Using the First Look curriculum, Wee Friends focuses on teaching babies and young preschoolers three basic truths: God Made Me, God Loves Me, and Jesus Wants to be My Friend Forever. Our dedicated team of volunteers strives to create an environment where your child can experience the love of God and learn the truths of His word.

We are passionate about children learning about Jesus in a way they understand. Our environments and lesson materials are created based on the physical, mental, and emotional needs of each child. Age appropriate small groups are provided for children birth through age two during each adult worship service on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings.

We believe that safety is vital as families entrust us with their children each week. Therefore, every child’s name tag is matched to a parent-identification number, every volunteer is screened with an interview and federal background check, and all volunteers are thoroughly trained.

First Time at Wee Friends?

Follow the signs to the Wee Friends Check-In area. Once your family is checked in, one of our volunteers will be happy to show you the age appropriate room we have created for your child.

We will ask for the following personal information: family member’s names, children’s names and birth dates, family address, phone number, and any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your child.

You and your child will be given matching identification tags that are exclusive to your family and your visit. Your child will need to wear the name tag portion of your matching identification tags which bears a code that is matched to your portion during checkout at the end of the service. During checkout, you will return to your child’s room and show your tag in order for your child to be released back to you.

Please be sure to ask any of our amazing volunteers or staff if you have questions about our values, policies or procedures. Thanks for checking out Wee Friends!

A Special Note

If for some reason your child were to need you during the service, your child's name would appear on the screens in worship service. We would ask that you exit the service immediately and look for a staff member who will direct you to your child’s room. If you lose your portion of the tag, please go directly to the check-in area, be ready to show your drivers license and we will issue you another one.
