Childcare

We are so glad to welcome your child to the BMPC Nursery, located on the main floor of the Education Building. In this first experience of church, children learn, play, and grow together in a loving environment led by trained and caring staff.

Our nursery ministry is designed to support young children’s development, nurture their faith, and give parents peace of mind. Safety, comfort, and compassion are at the heart of what we do.
