We love preschoolers at MCBC. Not only do we have an amazingly gifted nursery coordinator, Geri Stiefel, and a hands-on preschool Sunday School class, we also offer TRAIN. TRAIN stands for the ministry we offer your child during the worship gathering. We seek to Teach, Reach, Affect, Inspire, and Nurture the preschoolers in our care.
As you arrive for the 10:45 worship gathering, friendly caregivers will receive your child in one of three classrooms. The Nursery (room 208) is available for very small children, the Walker room (room 206) is for those children who are more mobile, and the 2s-3s class (room 204) is for children in this age range. Each classroom has volunteers who have had a background check. We want to offer a safe and caring environment for your child, as we teach them the seeds of the Christian faith.
Each child will need a diaper bag with diapers and a change of clothes, just in case. If your child needs a comfort item, such as a toy or a sippy cup, please label these items with the child's name. Also, please let the caregivers know if your child has any allergies or if you have any special instructions concerning your child.
Older preschoolers are invited to the music portion of the worship gathering and will be dismissed to Children's Church before the sermon begins. (For more information on Children's Church, see that article.)
