Shandon places a strong emphasis on fostering children in Christian faith. Children are always welcome and encouraged to worship with their families at all of our worship services. We recognize the developmental needs of children vary. Age-level nurseries are provided during all Sunday morning worship services for infants-age 3, and children’s Bibles, crayons, and activity books are available at entrances to worship spaces to assist parents in engaging children during worship.
We also have a special children’s time during worship services. Children ages 3 and older are invited up front for an age-appropriate Children’s Message. Following the Children’s Message, children may return to their seats and worship with their families. Our nursery is also open for children ages 4 and 5 after the Children’s Message. Parents are welcome to leave worship and take their children to the nursery in the DuBose Building, room 105 if they choose.
Nurseries are staffed with trained, paid workers and parent volunteers.
At Shandon, children experience a Safe Sanctuary environment.
