The TCPC Family Ministry exists for the glory of Christ, by partnering with parents in the discipleship of children to become corporate worshippers who love Jesus for a lifetime.
Nursery
The hope of the TCPC Nursery Ministry is that every parent feels welcomed and supported, and every child begins to learn that they are created by God, loved by Him, and belong to our church body. We make every effort to keep our nursery a safe and loving environment for both the parents and children.
Our newly built nursery wing, has 5 rooms, an indoor playroom and an outdoor playground. This wing is locked and secured throughout the morning to ensure the only people who have access to your children are our workers, volunteers and you as a parent.
Each room is staffed with a regular weekly worker, who is there every Sunday to greet and care for your child. These ladies are passionate about children’s ministry and are loving toward the children in their room. They desire to build a relationship with you as the parent, so that you feel comfortable leaving your child in their hands.
Each room also has volunteers. All of our volunteers are background checked and trained before serving in the nursery. We have a rotating list of volunteers, so the children are gaining a full vision of the church body, the different members, and how they serve and love them.
Nursery Rooms
Sleeping/Nursing Room: this room is dimly lit and has cribs and rocking chairs for the convenience of mothers. We also have available a sound machine and a monitor.

*If you turn 4 AFTER August 1, you may remain in the nursery for the remainder of the year.
Indoor Playroom: each class gets a turn to play in the room during our colder months and rainy days.
Outdoor Playground: an age appropriate playground is available for each room to use on Sunday mornings for children to run, play and get their energy out.
SUMMER SCHEDULE: The nursery will be operating on a summer schedule starting May 26. For the summer months, the nursery will be open for the 9:00 service and any special combined Sunday School classes, but will be closed for the 11:15 service.
New to the Nursery?
If this is your first time visiting the nursery, we would love to give you a tour on Sunday morning! If you are planning on dropping your child off, we have a check-in process that we will walk you through. The nursery is located to the right of the sanctuary, off of the Sunday School hallway. The nursery director, or a coordinator will be at the front desk ready to answer any of your questions, or check your child into the nursery through our secure check-in system.
You can also fill out the form below to get the process started before you even get here: TCPC Nursery Registration Form
In the nursery, we recognize that you, as the parent, is first and foremost the child’s first discipler, and we are just thrilled to come alongside of you in leading your child to Christ. To help partner with you, we love to give you resources. Available outside of the nursery wing is a resource wall, where you will find the Monthly Curriculum that your child will be learning. We also like to provide the parent with articles, activities, encouragement and many more things on this wall. We also send out monthly newsletters; if you would like to be added please email the nursery director.
Meals for Parents with Newborns
New parent meals are designed to help families welcoming new babies into their homes, whether through birth or adoption. The goal is to bless the family with 6-8 meals so that they can adjust to the new dynamics without the demands of meal planning! Contact Kristen Jackson for more details.
Children’s Sunday School
Sunday School is an essential part of our children’s ministry. Gifted and committed adults give instruction to our children about God and His plan to redeem people through Jesus. All classes involve age appropriate activities including singing, doing crafts, studying the Bible, and praying together.
