WOW! Director: Donna Garcia

We believe we are divinely called to minister to children. Because children are important to Christ, they are important to us.

ECM is an exciting and vibrant place where children are encouraged and taught the word of God. All classes offer fun, interactive learning opportunities.

Children aged 4-11 can enjoy:

Sunday School is held on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM, and a free breakfast is served from 9:00 AM until 9:45 AM in the Children’s Center.

Nursery

We love children, and we encourage you to bring your little ones to church and model worship for them. We understand children will be children, but even at an early age, children can feel the love of Jesus and can show Him their love.

On Sunday mornings & Wednesday nights, we offer a staffed Nursery for ages 6 weeks to age 3. On Sunday mornings, ages 6 weeks to age 2 meet in the Nursery Classroom, and ages 2 & 3 meet in the Toddler Classroom for Sunday School.

We do not offer a staffed nursery during the Sunday evening service. However, we have two nurseries, or cry rooms, in the back of our sanctuary for families with children under 3. One room is a family nursery, and the other is designated for mothers only.
