Visiting with kids? We're delighted!

On your first visit, you may choose to worship together as a family. Children and youth are welcome in our Sanctuary.  Drop-in nursery care is available for little ones ages six months (and sitting up) to three years.  

Some parents would like their children to experience Sunday School on their first visit and we are happy to work with you to arrange this. We ask that a parent stay with each visiting child in their classroom for the duration of their first Sunday’s Religious Education sessions.  If you call or email prior to your first visit, the Director of Religious Education can prepare a welcome and visiting plan specific to your child(ren)’s ages.

Here are some helpful tips for your first Sunday at Unity Church with children:
  • As soon as you arrive, please meet up with helpful staff and volunteers at the Welcome Table in the Parish Hall. They’ll give you a "New Family Welcome Packet" and guide you to the right place for you and your children.
  • Plan on staying in the classroom with your child during the entire Sunday School session. Junior High youth may attend on their own, provided a parent meets them at the classroom door at the end of the class.
  • Watch for signs that indicate when we have a “Story Sunday” or “Family Sunday” on the day you visit.  On these Sundays, families worship together for part or all of the service.
  • Please know that we have a Safe Church policy in place, limiting enrollment in each class to safe ratios in relation to space and adult volunteers. The class that you visit may already be full, but we can always find a spot for new registrants at one of our three services.
  • If, after your visit, you feel that Unity Church may be your family’s religious home, please join us on the first Wednesday of the month for our “New Family Orientation.” At this informative session, you’ll be able to register your child(ren) for the appropriate Sunday School program. 

Stay with your infant or toddler
Parents with newborns and infants under six months of age are invited to experience worship in the Sanctuary or in the nursery parents room through a live feed. The parents room allows for easy transition for infants from parents arms to nursery care when they reach six months of age.

Changing Areas
  • Family restroom (main floor)
  • Nursery (lower level)
