nursery

We are offering nursery beginning @9:15 a.m.!


Nursery care is provided in a safe, caring space for our youngest children (infant - preschool) during Sunday School and our Worship Service on Sunday mornings by trained paid childcare workers and one parish volunteer.

All people who interact with children undergo screening, background verification and Ministry Safe training.


Children age infant to preschool may be dropped off at any point before (@9:15 a.m.) or during the service; many families choose to pick up their children for the Eucharist.


Children are (always!) welcome to worship with us in church.


If you are interested in learning more about baptism of your child, please contact Melissa to discuss further.

Sunday School

Worship and Wonder

Worship & Wonder is a time for the children, storytellers and leaders to learn and experience God together. It has a Montessori approach that includes Bible storytelling, and experiential reflection and response time. The oldest children of Atrium III transition to an exploration of Scripture and tenets of their faith through dialogue, study, and response utilizing the To Be A Christian catechism and other resources.


There are three age groups:

Atrium I - 5 year olds, K & 1st grade

Atrium II - 2nd & 3rd grade

Atrium III - 4-5th grade (hall to foyer atrium)

Nursery is available for infant - 3yrs beginning at 9:15 a.m.


Signs will direct your way to their respective rooms.  Getting to church a few minutes early to allow children to go to the restroom and get settled greatly helps them to transition into the atrium spaces.

Melissa Smith

It is our desire at Christ the Redeemer to welcome little children, as Jesus did, to come to Him and be blessed. Our goal is to support and equip parents in their role as the primary spiritual leaders of their families. We are eager to partner with families as they seek to nurture their child’s belief in God. 


As a 20+ yr veteran in the trenches of parenting and Children’s ministry, Melissa is passionate about equipping and encouraging parents as the spiritual leaders of their families. She has a love for God’s written Word and is excited to share how our deeply-rooted Anglican tradition brings richness and fullness to our faith as modern Christians.  "I pray that God will use my experience in prayer, missions and spiritual formation to nurture families of faith in the Great Tradition and the Greatest Story Ever. “
