Young Children Nursery We offer a nursery for both of our Sunday services staffed by two adults and one youth age ten or older. The nursery is located off of the north lobby on the main floor (all volunteers have passed a background check). Children & Worship Children & Worship is an exciting way that young children, ages 3 years through Kindergarten , experience God while learning about God. We worship in a special place apart from the congregation so that the children learn a joyful way to worship God. The children are dismissed to "Children and Worship" following the Children's message . We use a sensorimotor style of storytelling where God is experienced. The children respond to the stories of God through working with the story figures and art materials. The intent of worship is to experience and praise God. We learn that God is one of mystery, awe and wonder. We worship God using a greeting, praise song, Biblical stories and parables, prayer and blessing. This remarkably provides a way for young children to tell stories about God to others! Sunday School Sunday School classes are offered for all ages following the morning service from 11:00 -11:45 AM . Regular classes begin September 13, 2026, and will conclude on May 2, 2027. CREW - Children Really Exploring the Word CREW is for children ages 3 years through 1st grade . Children have the opportunity to participate with their peers while learning Biblical truths in story and song. The goal of this ministry is to enjoy God together as we learn and grow in Him. We meet in classrooms in the lower level of the church building from 6:30-8:00 PM on Wednesday nights from September 16, 2026, through March 31, 2027.

My name is Danielle and I am a lifelong member of Ottawa and have been involved in youth ministry for 8 years both as a volunteer and staff member. I have a love and passion for teaching students about Jesus and helping them grow deeper in relationship with Him. I strive to teach and model to students what God's Word says in the Great Commandment and Great Commission: Love God, Love Others, and Make Disciples! I am a wife and mother of two young boys. I enjoy creating new memories with my family, hiking, camping, traveling, thrifting, and anytime spent with family and friends because life is precious! My favorite verse is Proverbs 16:9 that whatever I do, God will direct and guide my path and I can trust in Him!
