Planning a Visit? (FAQs)
Do I need to register my child before coming to church?
No, you can register the morning of the service you attend by coming to our new family area.
What are the check-in and check-out procedures?
First time visitors will be asked to stop by our New Family Table to register.
We have a text message notification system for children infants-3rd grade so the parent can be reached during service if needed.
When a child (infant-3rd grade) is checked in to a classroom, the person who drops off the child is given a pick-up slip. The person in possession of the pick-up slip is the only person to whom we will release the child from our care.
What can my child expect during services?
Is this just a babysitting service?
Definitely not! The children’s program incorporates KidStory to help build a foundation for understanding God’s love.
Children 2 years old through 3rd grade enjoy worship, story time and small groups that helps strengthen that day’s lesson.
Who are the volunteers working with my child?
The screening process for volunteers includes an observation, application and reference checks. In addition, volunteers age 18 and older have a Live Scan and criminal background check performed.
What is your sick child policy?
For the safety and respect of the children in our classroom, if your child has had a runny nose, cough, diarrhea, vomiting, or fever within the past 24hrs, please do not bring them.
What if I have a child with special needs?
Some children need extra help in order to participate in our weekend programs.If your child has special needs and would benefit from having a one-on-one buddy, or if you would like to learn more about becoming a buddy, please contact our Buddies Coordinator, Rachel Prentiss Here
Please Note Buddies Policies:
- No Show: If a child misses two Sundays without advance notice (Friday before scheduled to attend), then their volunteer buddy will be reassigned to those on the waiting list.
- Privacy: Families agree not to contact their assigned Buddy for outside childcare or respite care that does not relate to Sunday service.
