First Time Parents
Nursery and nursing mothers—staffed
with caring moms, dads, and volunteers, we endeavor to keep the nursery
a clean and sanitary place. Nursing mothers are offered a private
curtained area in the “newborn/sleeper” room designed to provide
privacy during feeding times.
Parent Room -
In an effort to minimize distractions in the service, a Parent’s Room
is available. The Parent’s Room is located around the corner from the
Nursery and has been equipped with comfortable seating, a closed
circuit TV monitor of the service, and diaper changing facilities.
Security—providing
a safe and loving environment is of utmost importance to us. To that
end, safety and security checks are routinely performed on all of our
children’s workers along with enforcement of a check-in/check-out tag
system. This tag system is in place for newborns through five years
old. When you sign your child in the nursery, you will receive a tag
with a number on it. This is your child’s number for the morning. If
your child needs you, you will see the number appear on the “kiddie
keeper” boxes which are located under the screens on each side of the
worship center. Only an adult with the correct security tag may claim
your child—No Exceptions!

Baby dedications
- We put our faith in Jesus when we understand our need for a Savior -
something infants or young children are not able to do. We believe that
God graciously watches over them until they are able to do this - and
if they die, they go to be with Him. At Calvary Church, dedication is
not done to make a child right with God, but as a public declaration by
parents of their commitment to raise their child according to God’s
principles.
Deaconess visits - Anytime that
Calvary is notified of a baby being born, an announcement is put into
our bulletin and a deaconess schedules a visit to the baby’s home. This
visit is meant to offer the family encouragement and to be a pleasant
visit from someone within the Calvary family. A gift is also brought
along.
