Children at Chandler 

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

Our purpose is to provide a safe, Christ-centered and loving environment where parents can confidently leave their children.  We recognize the importance of the early years when first impressions of faith, Christ, and the church are being formed; and we want to make our nursery through children’s classes a positive experience for parents and children. Our teachers have been screened with background checks and follow our Child Protection Policy.

Sunday Mornings

Donut Hole Fellowship – (9:15 am) 
Parents may drop off children in the art room (behind the preschool welcome counter) for Donut Holes, singing, and fellowship. Parents may then enjoy the coffee fellowship located in front of the Fellowship Hall. Children will be taken to class following this fellowship time.
Small Groups – (9:30-10:15) 
For information on location and ages of classes, ask at the Preschool counter or church welcome center. Parents pick up your children from classrooms. Younger Children will move directly to Worship Childcare.
Worship Childcare – (10:15 — End of Worship) 
Babies thru Pre-K enjoy games, snacks, and a Bible story in our Nursery & 2’s-3’s room. They may also go out the playground during this time.

Children's Church

Big Kids (K-5th) get to go to Big Church. But each Sunday, except the first Sunday of the month, the children leave before the sermon to attend Children’s Church. We have a dedicated space, The Tree Room, for children's church. It is across from our youth area, at the top of the stairs. You will pick up your kids there after worship.

The first Sunday of every month we celebrate communion together as a church. Big Kids stay in worship. That week we will have a creative element just from them. We want our whole church family to understand and love the celebration of communion. (At Chandler our communion is open to whoever desires to follow Jesus. A personal decision for each person and family as you lead your children.)

Additional Information

Snacks
We all love snacks! We are careful of any allergies. We serve nut-free snacks, generally Goldfish, Cheerios, or Ritz. If your child has any allergies or you have any concerns, please make us aware.
Check-in
Our check-in system is for Babies thru Pre-K and adds a level of security for our youngest children. Check-in is at the preschool welcome counter. (See map below, counter is marked in Yellow.)
Playground
Kids will often head outside and enjoy our awesome playground. It has two areas, one for smaller kids and one for bigger kids. There is a green space and a rock wall!!
