Welcome

Parents

We’re excited to meet your child and encourage them in their journey of spiritual growth and finding their place in the church community.

Our dedicated staff and leaders are trained under our pastoral team, use a thoughtfully designed curriculum, and rely on a combination of Bible-centered and creative experiences to help kids learn the basics of loving Jesus, knowing justice, and being able to bring all of who they are to church. Explore the diverse opportunities that await your child as we partner together in laying a strong foundation for their faith and belonging at LaSalle.

Nursery

Child care during worship for kids ages 0-3

For our youngest children, LaSalle offers childcare spaces during our Sunday worship time: the church nursery is open for infants and toddlers up to three years old in the lower level of our church building 

Nursery care is provided by our loving and highly skilled paid nursery staff, and there are always a minimum of two adults present in the nursery rooms. Pre-registration for our nursery is not required — just drop off your children in the 30 minutes before our service begins, and pick them up from the same room within 15 minutes after our service ends. 

On mornings when there is programming after service, childcare will be provided either in the Lower Level of the church or in Cornerstone room 200.  

Kid’s Church

Mid-service lessons during worship for kids ages 3-6

We understand that worship is a very important of faith development for our children — it helps them feel belonging to the larger community and teaches them the patterns of worship. We also know that sitting through a sermon can be very hard for younger children. Our mid-service Children’s Church program allows us to bridge this gap: during Sunday worship, we invite all children ages 3-6 to begin in the sanctuary with their parents or guardians. During the service, we will pray for and dismiss our children to head to the lower level with our trained volunteers, and participate in a short lesson and activity during the sermon. Parents can pick them up from the lower level within 15 minutes after our service ends.  

On mornings when there is programming after service, childcare will be provided either in the Lower Level of the church or in Cornerstone room 200.

Sunday School

& WeBelong

Classes for grade-school children on Belong Sundays

On Banquet and Belong Sundays, our elementary kids are invited to their class time during the service. On Banquet Sundays, kids will head over to Cornerstone Center room 300 for Sunday School. Sunday School is a space for our kids to dive deeper into Bible stories and learn in community, deepening their biblical knowledge. Sunday School also meets on Belong Sundays from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM in the same room.  

On Belong Sundays, we offer a class called WeBelong geared towards kids in grades 1-3 to help them understand worship rhythms and why we do what we do on Sunday mornings. This class meets during the sermon and kids return to service to partake in Communion with their families. 

Youth Group

Grades 6-12

At LaSalle, we're not just inviting youth to be part of our community; we are striving to empower them to become integral leaders in shaping it. Our Youth Ministry is a space where young minds are encouraged to explore their faith, cultivate their passions, and lean into the various spaces to make a lasting impact. 

Worshiping in community is a large part of faith development for teenagers. For that reason, youth are invited to be in service with their families or sit together in the pews. Youth are also invited to help lead us by using their gifts on our Sunday morning teams.

Our formal Youth Group time is after service every 1st and 3rd Sunday from 11:30 - 12:30 p.m. in Cornerstone room 308. In Youth Group, we are focusing on fun, learning, discussion, and prayer for one another. We’ll address topics of faith, living in our world, as well as planning times of service for our congregation to engage with on our Serve Sundays.

We also have an intentional discipleship program for youth called Affirmations. Affirmations is an 8-month class and mentoring based program culminating in a time of public affirmation of faith in a Worship Service. Youth will spend the class time learning from a pastor or leader from LaSalle about their faith and the Church. They are also paired with an adult mentor for monthly meetings that work through a devotional and look at living our faith in the real world.
