Discover Our Nursery

A Welcoming Space for Your Little Ones!

We wholeheartedly invite children to be a part of our worship experience. For those in need of it, we have a cozy nursery located behind the Welcome Desk near the Sanctuary. Though we don't have dedicated nursery staff, the service is broadcasted through the nursery speakers. We also have a family restroom for your convenience. It's a safe and comfortable space for feeding infants and soothing them.
