Nursery

The purpose of the church nursery ministry is to provide a welcoming, nurturing atmosphere for the nursery-age children of our members and visitors, which honors the Lord and supports the parents in the care and education of their children in a consistently safe, clean and wholesome facility through a caring, qualified, and motivated nursery staff.

In our Nursery, our Sunday School classes study the curriculum of Great Commission Publications called “Show Me Jesus.” Teaching our two and three-year-olds to know that Jesus is God’s Son, to thank him for all our blessings, and to follow Jesus by loving Him are just some of our aims in the Nursery Ministry.

The nursery is provided for newborns to 3-year-old children. Care of children four years of age (before September 1 of the year) and older is provided by the Children’s Ministry through their educational programs.

At check-in,  the parent signing in the child will supply contact information, and a cell phone should be available. If the nursery staff has a question/problem concerning your child, a text or call will be made, and you should return to the Nursery area.

To trust the Lord Jesus Christ in providing for the nursery ministry. Childcare is what we do, but biblically, we provide consistent opportunities for parents to know and grow in their knowledge of Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We provide opportunities for whole families to serve the Lord in a playful, fun way, and therefore, they model being the Lord’s servants to the Nursery children. Most importantly, we teach our covenant children to pray, to sing, and to learn about God and His Son using the Great Commission Publication, “Show Me Jesus” curriculum for the two and three-year-olds.

Thanks to our Nursery Staff for making this the best place for our youngest covenant children. Our volunteers and children are supervised closely by our very qualified and wonderful staff, who are all Midway Members.

Psalm 143:10a says, “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God.” Serving the Lord in the Nursery Ministry is a wonderful example to our covenant children. They learn more from our actions than from our words. Be a volunteer, and we will schedule you only one Sunday every 5 to 6 weeks. Your reward may come immediately from cuddly hugs and snugly friends to read to and you will be rewarded knowing that you have touched a life for eternity! Please feel free to fill out a Nursery Volunteer Response Card located in the pew rack and place it in the offering plate.

We always need volunteers to join our Nursery Ministry. It is such a wonderful way to serve the Lord watching our youngest covenant children. No dirty work is involved since our staff handles all diapers, trash, and potty trips.  Please email or call Jennifer Nichols to reserve your place.

CPR & FIRST AID TRAINING: All of our Nursery Supervisors are current in CPR & First Aid Training, primarily due to the training offered to everyone annually each fall sponsored by the Nursery Ministry.
