Nursery

Nursery facilities are available during both worship services for infants and toddlers through age two. Nursery services are also provided during most Sunday Evening special activities as well. We are committed to providing a safe, warm, and friendly environment for children where Christ’s love for is communicated through excellent care and where parents feel comfortable leaving their children while they attend worship and ABF. Each of our two nurseries are staffed by warm, loving, and committed volunteers from within the church. The Infant nursery provides a great place for babies to play and interact with other babies under caring watchful eyes. Our toddler nursery incorporates this safe and loving care with teaching about Jesus through simple lessons, songs, and activities. The toddler nursery also has plenty of toys and opportunities for children to play. Nursery ministries are headed by Kathy DeYoung.

Preschool Ministry

The preschool ministry is for children between three and five years old, and is available for both worship services. The core curriculum in preschool focuses more on the Bible lesson, but is well suited to the preschooler’s attention span. Story time, craft time, snack time and playtime are equally important activities of the childs’s day. Preschool teachers are very accommodating in the transition from the nursery to preschool and are very helpful in preparing the children when it is time to move up with the “Big Kids”.
