Mount Pisgah’s Nursery ministry builds on the foundation of three basic truths: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. Your child’s life-long relationship with God is encouraged throughout each growing stage. Dedicated to children 2 years old and younger, a nurturing staff and carefully selected volunteers are committed to providing your child each Sunday morning with a safe and loving environment. The Nursery is located on the lower level of the Worship Center in the Children’s Ministry area on our North Campus.

• Children must wear a tag for each activity they will be attending to ensure that volunteers know when they will be picked up.

• Parent(s) are responsible for ensuring that their child(ren) are in the appropriate room before going to their class or worship service.

• Parent(s) of children 2 years of age or younger will need to sign a log at their child’s classroom making note of the appropriate cell phone number to be used in the event their child needs additional assistance during the morning, also noting any special concerns.
