As A Family Place, Immanuel places a high value on families attending worship together. Children of all ages are welcome to all of our worship services. When babies need to be walked or younger children need a place outside of the sanctuary for a time, the atrium provides the perfect location for this: glass doors and windows to the sanctuary as well as speakers in the atrium itself allow parents to participate in the worship service without disturbing other worshipers. The atrium is also the place where you'll find individual denim bags filled with worship-friendly children's toys (soft toys, coloring pages, etc.) A staffed nursery is also available beginning at 9:20am each Sunday morning, providing nursery care during our 9:30am Education Hour and our 10:30am First Light worship service.

As children enter the sanctuary for worship, they can pick up a children's bulletin from one of the ushers. During the service they will be invited to join other children up front for the Children's Message. Beginning in kindergarten, students may serve as basket holders during communion, and students in second through fifth grade are invited to light the candles as they serve as acolytes.

Children are also invited to participate in worship in one of our children's handbell choirs or with Lazer Lights. These groups meet during our Midweek Ministry on Wednesday evenings from 6-7pm to prepare to participate in Sunday morning worship.
