Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14 NKJV
Kids are welcome in worship! Following worship, kids will be dismissed to head downstairs for their class. Please sign-in your kids on the clipboard near the offering box before the service begins.
We are the church that loves kids and believes they are the future of the church. Our teachers have fun helping kids learn the Bible on their level using the Answers Bible Curriculum from Answers In Genesis. We desire for all ages to be equipped to defend their faith, as they learn to apply God’s Word in their everyday lives.
Here are some helpful tips to make our time together more enjoyable. Our desire is to provide a safe and healthy environment where your child can grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
* Please NO children in the Kids Ministry area with an approved adult!
* Please be sure your child has used the restroom before church service starts.
* For the safety of your child we ask that the parent/guardian who signs a child in is the same parent/guardian who signs them out unless a prior arrangement has been made with the Kids Ministry Director.
* For the safety of your child, the child ID badge must be surrendered at the time of sign out. Sign out will not be allowed without the child ID badge.
* Please alert Kids Ministry workers to any food related allergies your child has as well as filling it out on the sign-in sheet.
* In the event that we need to contact you prior to the end of the church gathering, a Kids Ministry worker will notify you via text message on your cell phone. Please be sure your phone is on but set to silent so as not to disrupt the teaching.
If you have any questions, please contact our Kids Ministry Director.
