Lil'

Welcome to Lil' Sprouts

Located in the front center of our tabernacle, Lil' Sprouts nursery is truly a wonderful place. It is well-furnished to meet the needs of our littlest members, guests, and preschoolers. We provide added safety with our policy of listed members that you allow to check your child out. 

• Our nursery coordinator is our paid staff who has shown herself to go above and beyond to provide a safe and nurturing environment every Sunday beginning at the 5:30 pm prayer & worship time and every Wednesday at the 6:30 worship & prayer time. Families are asked to leave a cell phone number for added peace of mind, and so that they can be texted if any issues arise.

• We ensure that Lil' Sprouts is adequately staffed, regularly cleaned, and very well-maintained.

OUR MISSION

Children are our special responsibility, entrusted to our care by God. It is the mission of FPC to provide a place where young children are loved, nurtured, and cared for. In our nursery, infants, & toddlers have their first introduction to their church home. Here they learn from loving caregivers what Jesus taught the children: God loves you!!
 
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14
