Kids ministry

We want to create a safe and secure environment, both to protect your child(ren)’s well-being and to allow you and your family to rest assured. We have a multi-layered approach to safety and security, and we’d love to share a few of the ways we work to protect your children.

Volunteers
Our volunteers have been provided with training, including age-level training, an understanding of our safety/security polices and a background check. This process is to provide your child with the best possible care in a secure child-friendly environment.

Check-In
We use a secure check-in and check-out process. We have two check-in locations, one for preschool and one for K-6th grade children. When you arrive, a loving and trained volunteer leader will greet you. You will be asked to provide some basic information, including a cell phone number you have in your possession. If we need to contact you, we will send you a text message. (Remember to leave your cell phone on vibrate/silence during the service.) If your child has difficulty acclimating or experiences separation anxiety, our caring volunteer leaders will immediately do all they can to soothe your child. If your child is unhappy for an extended period of more than ten minutes, we will text you. You and your child will receive a check-in tag specific to your child. To ensure their security, your child will not be released without presentation of your corresponding “pickup” security tag.

Well-Child Policy
We take seriously our responsibility to protect well children from exposure to illness. We ask that children be free of symptoms for 24 hours before coming back to church.
