Classes are held year-round with a special summer session for 3-years-old to kids in the 5th grade at both our Alpine and Our Master's Centers. 

Nursery is available every Sunday during church services for infants and toddlers.  It's staffed with qualified workers who've been through a background check.  

Alpine Center:

Sunday School is available during our 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services for preschool aged kids through 5th graders.  They meet in the Lower Level classrooms. There are no Sunday School classes on holidays.

During our 9:30 a.m. service, all children go to the Sanctuary  first and are dismissed for Sunday School after the Children's Message.  That's different for the first Sunday of every month. On those Sundays, kids will begin downstairs in Sunday School and come back to Sanctuary together to take communion and then go back to class. 

During our 11:00 a.m. service, all children begin in the Sanctuary and are dismissed after the Children's Message.   Communion is served every Sunday at this worship service, so the kids will come back and take communion.

Our Master's Center:
