MORE THAN CHILDCARE.
The nursery at FBC desires to be an extension of your home, providing quality care and a secure environment for your children (birth – 3 years old) as they learn about Jesus and see Him modeled by our loving staff. While children are always welcome in our worship services we offer this ministry as a resource to your family. Nursery is provided for each worship service.
Nursery Location:
The nursery for all three services is located in the Shelton House which is the one-story white house located near the EDGE Building. For a visual, check out the picture below and our campus map. Once on campus, if you need help, please find a greeter who will be glad to take you to the nursery.
Registration & Pick-up:
Register ahead of time by filling out the Google Form: FBC Nursery Registration
When dropping your children off at the Smith House nursery, there will be nursery staff to help you with the simple three step registration process and pick-up process.
Step 1 – With the help of nursery staff, use the kiosk at the Welcome Desk to provide information that will help us care for your children and provide a safe environment for them. This information includes guardian names, child’s name, contact info, and allergies/ sensitivities.
Step 2 – Once the information is in our system, two stickers are printed. One is a name tag sticker specifically for your child and the other is a matching tag that you keep.
Step 3 – When you arrive to pick up child, just present your matching tag and we will gather your precious little one for you.
NURSERY FAQ:
- When am I able to drop my child off at the nursery?
The nursery begins registering children 15 minutes before each worship service. As a first time guest we encourage you to take advantage of that so you can get them registered and have plenty of time to make it to the worship service.
- What if I want to attend Sunday School as well?
Please do! Building community with others is important and we encourage you to do that if possible. Don’t worry, your child is in good hands and we will have them ready for you when you return.
- What does it mean that the FBC nursery is a well-baby nursery?
We want to ensure the health and wellness of all of our babies and toddlers. If your child has had a fever within the previous 24 we respectfully ask you to keep them home or with you during the service. For more information on our well-baby policy please click here. (Will send document)
- What can I can expect during my child’s time in the nursery?
This ministry is more than childcare. Our desire is to help your toddler learn about Jesus while also taking care of their needs. We will provide age-appropriate snacks. If your child has dietary restriction, feel free to provide a snack for them if you would like. We will change your child’s diaper or take them potty during their time in the nursery unless specified otherwise by a guardian. Please bring a well stocked diaper bag for your child.
Each nursery room is staffed with FBC Kid’s Ministry volunteers who have undergone training and completed a background check. If you are interested in joining our team, please contact Caitlyn Burdette (link to contact info), our FBC’s Kids director
