We take children's ministry seriously at Washington Heights! As part of the family of God, children are significant. At Washington Heights we desire to partner with parents by helping develop their children to moral and spiritual maturity.
Sunday School
Age-appropriate classes are provided for preschool (3 year olds) through 6th grade children Sunday mornings at 9:00 am and 10:30 am. Class time includes Bible instruction, songs, games, Bible memory, and discovering how God's Word relates to a child's everyday life. Children are encouraged to be participants in the learning process, not just be spectators.
The Children’s Area is NUT FREE – 24 | 7
This means there are no types of nut products permitted in the entire area during activities throughout the week or weekend. Some children have severe nut allergies and this is the best way to keep them safe.
SECURITY AND SAFETY for all children is important. Parents will check-in and drop off their children at the CheckPoint desk in the foyer each Sunday.
PICK UP TIME Parents gather in the foyer, by the Children's door, to pick up their children.
Nurseries
Available for birth through 2 years old during Sunday morning services, birth through 3 years old during Wednesday evening services.
