Welborne’s ministries are focused on making disciples and sending them forth to serve our community and the world. In order to carry that out, we gather to be shaped, and we scatter to serve. Our gathering ministries include formational ministries for all ages, worship, music and arts and congregational care. Our scattering ministries include sharing God’s love through mission opportunities, and outreach to our community through festivals, meeting space, and other means.
CHILDREN at Welborne
Nursery, Children’s Time and Children’s Church
Our nursery is available Sunday mornings for infants to 5 year-olds during the worship hour.
We have a children’s message at each worship service. During the school year, following that message, children are invited to participate in an in- worship activity or are taken by staff for a project outside of the worship service for Children’s Church.
Welborne Christian Preschool
Welborne is also home to one of the areas best and brightest pre-schools, Welborne Preschool. With offerings for children age 2 to 5 year-olds, Welborne Christian Preschool has been nurturing the development of area children for over 25 years.

ADULTS at Welborne
