“Small Stars,” (Nursery & Preschool Ministries) is dedicated to providing a warm, loving, Christ-centered environment for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.  Our purpose is to demonstrate and teach the love of Jesus in patience, concern, and caring, through a specially designed age-appropriate curriculum.  During each of the Saturday and Sunday morning worship services, our Infants and Toddlers are nurtured and loved, while our Two, Three, and Four Year Olds enjoy a unique story time with the “Bible Story Lady,” which includes Bible teaching and worship in song and prayer.  In the individual classrooms Bible crafts reinforce the story, and playtime and snacks are always included!
