Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
Our goal is to lead kids and families to find and follow Jesus! SJKidz (Children's Church) is available on Sunday mornings at our 9:45am service, except on 5th Sundays of the month. Nursery care is available every Sunday at 9:45. Scroll down to learn about all of our options, or click on the links below to jump to a specific section.

We have a whole page devoted to resources for parenting babies through teenagers!
Cry Room & Nursery
Infants - 3 year-olds | Available Sundays at 9:45am
Cry Room and Nursing Moms: Parents, if you need a few moments during church for your wiggly one to calm down, please go to the Cry Room, located in our chapel, right next to the Worship Center. You will still be able to watch and hear a live feed of the service. The cry room is available at both of our Sunday services.
Nursery Care: Nursery care for infants and children 3 years and under is available Sundays at the 9:45am service. In the Nursery, we understand the value of even the youngest kids, and that God has lovingly created each child in a unique way. With that in mind we strive to provide a safe, caring nursery environment.
Kids 4-4th grade will join their families for the opening worship songs at the 9:45am service. After worship, they’ll be dismissed to SJKidz. Parents, please check your children in before the service begins, and pick them up afterward. This schedule allows families to worship together while ensuring kids enjoy a great experience at Children’s Church!
Our goal is to shepherd your child's heart to understand the depth of Jesus' love for them, while instilling Biblical knowledge.
SJKidz is designed to help children be active participants in worship! Each Sunday, children join their families for the first few songs in the Worship Center before heading to SJKidz. With music, hands-on activities, and small group time, kids learn about God in a way that’s interactive, exciting and easy to understand.
* On 5th Sundays of the month, we will have "Family Worship," where there will be a special children's message during the service and only nursery care will be available (no SJKidz). *

Serving with Children's Ministry
Volunteering in Children's Ministry can make a huge impact in planting seeds and growing a child’s faith from a young age. Serving is also fun and a great way to connect with others at St. John's!
There are always needs in our nursery and SJKidz. Volunteer leaders typically serve 1-2x per month and always serve with a partner in varying roles.
