Welcome to our WEEKDAY MINISTRY info page. The programs that we offer mid-week are developmentally appropriate and provided in a safe, nurturing environment where learning can take place as a result of the child’s own curiosity. Check out all our programs here on our website. You are always welcome to call with questions or schedule a visit to find out more.

Nursery
The purpose of our nursery is to meet the needs of the youngest people of our congregation so they will feel loved and valued. Our objective is to keep the children safe and happy and to show them the love of God and have their first associations with the church be a positive one.

W.A.T.C.H. (K-6th)
W.A.T.C.H. ministers to the needs of working parents and their families. Parents need quality after-school care for their elementary-age children. The goal is not to duplicate the clubs and athletic activities already available to children but to be a welcoming, homelike place where children will not only be safe, but where they can relax and be assured of their special place in God's world. W.A.T.C.H. provides bus transportation for children from the following elementary schools: Newport Heights, Woodland, Kaiser and Mariners.
