We are so excited to welcome your children into our Kids Life ministry! The heartbeat of our kids ministry is found in John 10:10. Jesus says, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” We want to do everything that we can to promote the flourishing of your children and your family. We don’t want to settle for just okay. We are praying for your family to have life to the full in the love of the Father, the grace of Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

​Parents and Guardians, we're asking that you bring your kids to the Family Life Center and attend the first 15 minutes of service (the Family Engagement Portion) with them! This Family Engagement segment serves two purposes. First, we have a passion for families engaging together in church experiences. In this first portion of service, you will have the opportunity to recite the monthly Bible verse with your child(ren), read their Bible passage for the day, and hear Kids Life announcements directly from our volunteers! Second, so many things are different right now, but you are still the safe place for your kids. As they enter into a new church space with new protocols, new clothing accessories, and a few new volunteer faces, it is our hope that your presence will help cultivate an atmosphere of peace and joy for your kids. We are asking you to sit together as a family and to help your kids maintain physical distance from other children as they enter. All adults will be dismissed to the main service around 9:45 am. After the Family Engagement portion of the service, Club56 will split off from the rest of the elementary students into their own space for unique programming specifically created for them.

Preschool

​Our preschool children (ages 2-5) meet every Sunday morning at 9:30 am in the Faith Factory area (upstairs in our main building). Your preschool kids will have the opportunity to sing, play, color, and learn each week as they dive into a Bible story at their level. Check-in begins at 9:15 am.

Nursery

​At this time, we are unable to offer childcare for children under age 2. When comfortable, families with babies under the age of 2 are still encouraged to attend service. The nursery facility will be open, but unsupervised, during the 9:30 am service for diaper changes, use of nursing rooms, or wiggle breaks. We will continue to monitor the COVID situation and offer childcare as soon as possible.

Health and safety protocols

We are implementing several health and safety measures for the protection of your children and our volunteers during this COVID situation.
​

• All volunteers will be required to wear masks and all children over the age of 2 are highly encouraged to wear one. Many of our activities and other programming pieces are being adapted to promote physical distance between children, while still interacting socially. During these activities, children will be permitted to remove their masks. We realize that children can barely leave their pants on some days, let alone a mask, so we will handle all mask issues with dignity and patience.
  ​
• All volunteers and children will have brain scans upon entry into a Kids Life space. Just kidding...we're taking their temperature! But we think it would be more fun to tell the kids we're checking to make sure they brought their brains to church.
  
  
• While waiting in line at check-in, families are encouraged to maintain appropriate distance from other families when possible.
  
  
• We encourage parents to assist children in washing their hands prior to check-in. We will also incorporate additional times for hand-washing in our programming.
  
  
• Each child will have their own box or bag of frequently used supplies (crayons, scissors, glue stick, playdoh, etc.) in an effort to reduce germ-sharing.
  ​
• All children's spaces and toys will be sanitized after use.

Sick Policy

​Please help keep all of our kids healthy by being aware of the health of your child. Please wait until next week to join us if your child has had any of the following symptoms in the last 24 hours:
​

Runny nose with colored discharge
Fever: temperature greater than 100.40F
Vomiting or diarrhea
Inflamed mouth or throat
Open sores
Contagious disease (Chickenpox, Pinkeye, Hand Foot Mouth)
Excessive coughing or sneezing
Chest congestion or labored breathing

Other obvious signs of illness

If your child exhibits any of these symptoms while they are with us, we will care for them in the best way that we can until you are able to come get them. 

If your child is taking antibiotics, we ask that they receive treatment for at least 48 hours before returning to Kids Life. Thank you!
