The Cradle Roll Ministry goes far beyond nursery in our church services. It is an
extension of ministry to the expectant mother. Whenever an expectant mother goes to the
hospital to deliver her child there are certain things she can expect from our church.
Upon the birth of her child she can expect a visit in the hospital from the Preschool Age
Level Coordinator. Once she is discharged from the hospital she can expect our young
married couples to prepare meals for her family for the next three to four days and
deliver them to the house. This allows her time to get back on her feet and adjust to
having a new baby in the home.
On the first visit to church after the birth of a child the mother and father can expect
to see a rose placed on the altar in celebration of this new addition to our church. The
baby will be introduced along with the parents and presented a Cradle Roll certificate
documenting the first church service of his or her life.
