We are proud to offer many opportunities for children to begin their faith journeys.

Some Recent Events from our Children's Ministries


For Our Little Ones:

Children are encouraged to participate in Sunday School and remain in the sanctuary with their family members until the children's moments are completed.  Children's books are available in the Narthex for reading by children during the service.  University strives to offer a worship service that is child friendly.

Our Nursery is open to infants through age six.  The nursery is lovingly managed by staff members of our Children's Center.  .  The nursery is available on Sunday morning from 9:30 until 12:30 and for special events.   Stop by and introduce yourself to the wonderful and caring staff.  Wait until your children see the playground!

Additionally, our Narthex is now available as a "cryroom".   The worship service can be seen and heard as you walk a fussy child or let a restless toddler roam.
