Early Childhood room  $1,500

We believe in investing in the next generation. This starts right from the beginning! Our kids have been champions sitting in service with their parents and playing in the back of the room while we wait to have space for them. We want to prioritize creating a space for toddlers to come feel safe, learn about Jesus, and have tons of fun. To do this we will lay down rugs, floor mats, purchase new toys to fit the space, and utilize a safe and secure check in system.
