"...Let the children come to me; do not hinder them..." - Mark 10:14
The purpose of NorthWest Bible's Nursery Ministry is to assist families by providing a safe and loving environment for their children. To provide an atmosphere of learning in which the children are exposed to biblical truth so that they may know, love, and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Nursery care is provided for infants and toddlers during both 9:00 & 10:45 services.
- Sunday School ~ 9:00 to 10:15 AM for 2 year olds.

Nursery Departments
All departments and rooms are staffed by at least two adults, one paid nursery worker and one volunteer.
Nursing Room
Mothers are welcomed to nurse their babies in our special private room, which is located directly across the hall from our infant room (104). The worship service can be heard in this room through speakers.
Infants (Room 104)
For children from birth to those who are not yet crawling. Swings and cribs are used in this room and babies are given bottles as requested. Baby's diapers are changed at least once an hour.
Crawlers (Room 105)
For children who are crawling to those not yet walking. Snacks (Cheerios, and Goldfish crackers) and white grape juice are provided in this room unless otherwise specified. Cribs and high chairs are used in this room. Diapers are changed at least once an hour. When your child begins to walk, he/she will be moved up to the next room.
Early Walkers (Room 106)
For children who have begun to walk to those walking with proficiency. Snacks (Graham crackers, goldfish crackers, and cookies) and white grape juice are provided unless otherwise specified. Adults care for all children in this room.

Parent/Child Procedures
Drop Off
We ask parents to avoid entering the childcare room. The half door will be open at drop off and pick up. Separation Anxiety is a very natural thing for the child to go through.
Helpful hints for dropping off your child:
- Stay calm
- Pick up your children on time
- Avoid long good-byes
- Pass them to the nursery staff
- Reassure them with a smile
If your child does cry, we will do everything to calm them and reassure them. The more consistent you are in bringing your child to church the quicker your child will feel comfortable in the nursery.
Contact System
The nursery uses the parent's cell phone to notify of any issues that may arise while children are in NWBC care. We ask that you please keep your cell phone on vibrate mode and on your person at all times while your child is in NWBC care. A vibrating pager is available upon request if a parent does not have a cell phone available to them.
Nursery Staff
Our Nursery Staff is trained in Infant and Child CPR and basic first aid. A criminal background check is done on all our Nursery Workers, along with an application. Our Nursery Staff wear Smocks so that you may easily identify them.
