Every child is perfectly created by God, loved by God, and can share God’s love in the world! We help your family create this foundation of faith by engaging sacred scripture, hands-on experiential learning for children, and family resources.

All children of all ages are welcome in all of our worship services. See services times and get directions here.
Children’s Worship at 9 am and 11 am for preschoolers (in south preschool wing) and elementary (outside on playground) is child-focused and child-led. All children will experience worship about the same theme on their level of faith development and share in praising God together.
Cribs–Pre-K Fours | Children’s Worship at 9 and 11am | Playground Faith at 10am
Preschoolers can play, learn, hear Bible stories and engage in hands-on faith experiences from 8:45am to after 11am traditional worship each Sunday.
(Sunday School classes August through May)
Kindergarten-3rd Grade | 10 am to 11 am
Discovery is our hands-on, experiential learning program for young elementary ages. Each week we will Dig In to the stories of the Life of Jesus. Every week we provide new opportunities to learn about Jesus and put our faith into action.
Fourth and Fifth Graders | 10 am – 11 am
Fourth and Fifth graders will gather each week to create community and serve others. By exploring how we can join God at work in the world, we will brainstorm, find a need, do research and create a service and community project together. All kid inspired, created and promoted service learning.
As a guest at UCC, we invite you to check in with our reception desk staff for a nametag and an opportunity for you to provide us with important safety information regarding your child.
Guests may also check in at any of our Children’s Check-In sites.
Drop Off and Pick up for Preschool in Walker Hall Hallway outside South Preschool Wing.
Drop off and pick up for Elementary in room 211.
Each child will have a guardian receipt printed. You can choose to have more than one guardian receipt printed if you plan to divide and conquer pickup after worship. When you return to pick up your child, please present your guardian receipt to the UCC staff member in the classroom.
Children’s Worship will incorporate the elements of communion, too.
All ages are welcome at Christ’s table, including children. We encourage children to take part in the Lord’s Supper, when the family feels they are ready, as they are an important part of our worshiping community.
Help celebrate your child’s growth — and lead them in discipleship — all through their young life.
