Young Meadows desires to provide a safe and healthy environment for all children to grow in their understanding and love of Jesus.
Children's Ministry Health & Wellness Policy
Young Meadow’s Children’s Ministry will have Nursery for both 9:30am Sunday School as well as the 10:45am Worship Service. We want to continue to provide your children with a safe, clean environment free from any communicable illnesses.
