Nursery
Our purpose is to provide a safe, nurturing and friendly environment so that the children are introduced to the person of Jesus and so that their parent(s) are able to further develop their personal relationship with Christ by participating in church worship or Bible study.
Services
Nursery and childcare are provided for infants (ages 0-1), toddlers (ages 1-2), and preschoolers (ages 3-4) on the following regular basis:

Curriculum
Toddlers are learning about who Jesus is, and how He loves them, through a simple read-to-me style curriculum published by FaithWeavers. Preschoolers are learning, through a Show Me Jesus curriculum, that Jesus is God by the miracles He has performed.
Caregivers
Our nursery is staffed with hired caregivers as well as volunteers based on the concept that consistency is best for the children, as they begin to establish relationships with their caregivers, and the caregivers are able to provide the best environment of discipleship for the children. Also, our volunteers are scheduled on a bi-monthly basis so that their busy schedules are honored, while providing the children with the familiarity they need. It's also beneficial to the parents to develop relationships within the nursery as they are entrusting their children to our care.
Volunteers
Our policy has just recently changed starting August 1, 2010. Every member of Christ Church, ages 16 and up will be automatically scheduled to serve in the nursery or Sunday School hour of infant through preschool aged children. Please read Sarah Ingram's letter here; if you have questions you can contact Jessica Williams () or Sarah Ingram ().
