A trained and experienced nursery staff is available to care for your child ages six weeks to three years during both Sunday morning worship services at Indian Run.

 

Our competent, caring staff and loving volunteers provide a clean, safe environment for infants and toddlers. Parents are then free to attend worship, participate in a small group or Sunday school class or volunteer their time within the church knowing that their children are well cared for in the nursery.

 

In the nursery, your child will have many opportunities to interact with other children, play with toys and hear about how God loves them. We provide an age appropriate space with toys, books, puzzles and other fun activities.

Where the Children of Indian Run Grow in God’s Love.

 

Grace Place is Indian Run’s Sunday Morning Children’s Ministry Program. It is offered during both the 9:30a.m. Traditional Worship Service and 11:00 a.m. Contemporary Worship Service. Children ages 3 through 5th grade will experience God’s word through an exciting curriculum including Bible stories, games, activities, creative writing, drawing projects and music. To provide you the opportunity to choose the service that best fits your schedule, the curriculum is repeated at both services. An Indian Run, we use “Orange” curriculum in Grace Place because we believe that the two most important influences in a child’s life are home and church. Your child will experience God’s teachings like never before!

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a special time of year for both the children of our community and our congregation. During one week, each Summer, kids ages 4 – 5th grade learn about God and Jesus’s teachings while having a blast with their friends! Check back for more details!

 

Throughout the year, we come together for family-friendly events like Pizza, Paint, & Praise, Advent Wreath Making, and more. These special events are great opportunities for families at Indian Run to spend quality time together and to get to know other families within the congregation. There’s something for all God’s children at Indian Run!

 

It takes many hands and willing hearts to support our children and their programs at Indian Run! As a congregation, we are partners in the Christian education of all children who attend Indian Run. We encourage all teens through senior citizens and everyone in between to serve in Children’s Ministry, whether in Grace Place or the Nursery or other special events. In accordance with our Safe Sanctuary policy and procedures, you will be required to complete and online application and background check release. You can begin that process here.
