Each nursery staff member at Cornerstone UMC has completed an extensive interview process and a criminal background check. Nursery staff members regularly attend meetings and have a copy of written nursery procedures to ensure that our nurseries are a safe, sanitary, and nurturing place for our children. We believe the children are a vital part of our church family, and we strive to make our nursery a ministry of God’s love to our littlest ones.
