Children’s Ministries strives to provide loving, nurturing care for Peachtree Road’s youngest members and visitors. Through the dedicated efforts of Sunday Nursery staff and volunteers, children ages six weeks to three years experience God’s love in a safe, welcoming environment. These happy early experiences lay the foundation for a lifelong faith journey.

All Nursery classrooms are staffed by qualified CPR certified adult workers, as well as volunteers from the congregation. Each Sunday, these low adult/ child ratios are maintained in the Nursery Rooms: Infants – 1 to 3. Toddlers – 1 to 4. Twos – 1 to 5. Threes – 1 to 6. Additional staff and volunteers are added when necessary to insure the safety and comfort of all children.
All parents are expected and encouraged to volunteer one year in the Nursery and teach one year of Children’s Sunday School for each child in the family. Volunteers serve once a month, for a two hour shift, and many scheduling options are available. Make your volunteer commitment by contacting Children’s Ministries at 404.240.8243.
