What is a prayground?

A “Prayground” is a space within the sanctuary where children can experience worship through play and age-appropriate worship materials. The space is usually located toward the front of the worship space so that children can see and hear throughout worship. Praygrounds encourage families to worship together, as children remain in worship throughout the entire service. 

Why does Wellspring have one?

Children can and do engage in worship! Research shows that worship is formative for even the youngest among us. By providing a space for children to engage in worship in the sanctuary, we communicate to children that they are welcome and fully included in our community of faith. 

Where is it? 

Toward the front of the Sanctuary, on the piano/nursery side of the room.
