Childcare + Godly Play at Glendale 

Glendale seeks to provide children a safe, loving + clean environment where they can see + hear about the teachings of Jesus.

Infants & children are always welcome in worship! However, we know that it might be easier for parents, grandparents, guardians and caregivers of young kids if they play in  safe + fun spaces just for kids during worship.  Our nursery (ages 0-4) and Godly Play room (ages 5-10) are staffed with experienced caregivers that have undergone a comprehensive background check and the safe gatherings training. You can view our Safe Sanctuaries policies here.

When is the Nursery + Godly Play available?

Our nursery is open on Sunday mornings from 9:45am-12:15pm during worship and our small groups after worship for ages 0-4.

Godly Play is open during worship from 9:45-11am for ages 5-10.

How do I get to the nursery and Godly Play? There are two ways. You can enter the doors under the external staircase off the parking lot. The nursery will be the second door on the right and our Godly Play room is the fifth door on the left. However, this entrance will be locked as worship begins and stay locked throughout the service to keep our kids safe. You can also enter through the front doors of the sanctuary and a welcome team member will guide you to these spaces.

Important Nursery + Godly Play Information for Parents/Guardians/Caregivers:

You must remain on the Glendale church campus while your children are in the nursery and/or Godly Play during worship.

Please notify staff members upon check-in with any allergies and label all belongings.

For young children, we recommend packing an extra set of clothes.
