Children are an important responsibility and part of the body of Christ. They are assurance to all congregations that nurture them that there will be a healthy and growing church for tomorrow.

 

CHILD CARE 

It is our goal to provide a safe, fun, and
Christ-centered learning environment.
As they learn to Love God, Live Truth, and Serve Others
on their level.

  

There are paid workers and volunteers in the nursery rooms,
providing your child with a friendly and familiar environment.

Checking Your Child In

A sign-in sheet will be located outside of the nursery/preschool classrooms.  There, your child will receive a name tag that will either clip to their shirt or is placed around their arm.

 

A nursery worker will meet you at the door to receive your child and diaper bag.  All parents of birth to 24 months will receive a pager with an identification number on it.  Pagers are also available for all parents, and can be received in the nursery suite.  Please present the pager when you pick up your child.

 

After you have completed the check-in process, simply wave good-bye and leave for the worship service or small group.  As you know, it is normal for little ones to cry when a parent leaves.  This typically does not last long.  Our teachers will immediately create interest in a toy or activity, and provide assurance that you will be back soon.  If your child cries for an extended period of time, we will page you.

 

What To Bring

Please have individual diaper/backpacks for your children of different ages, due to the fact that they will be in different rooms.

 

When packing a bag for your child, please include:

• 2 to 3 disposable diapers
• A complete change of clothes
• Bottle/sippee cup of milk, formula, juice or water
• A special item, such as pacifier, blanket or teething ring
• Please label all items in your child’s bag.

We will provide snacks for older children, such as apple juice or water, butter crackers and animal crackers.  Please note on the sign-in sheet any information that will help in caring for your child, such as feeding times, sleeping times, allergies, and special needs.

                   10:50 & 11:15  Mrs. Kerri Henegar and Linda Gilley

 

Frequently asked questions
How old should my child be to attend? 
Between the ages of 4 years to 2nd grade

 

Where are you located? 
In room E-205, across from the stairway in the education building

 

How can my child participate? 

 

Children’s worship is available during all three morning services.  Simply walk your child to room E-205 before the service you are attending begins.  A greeter will be at the door to help locate your child’s name tag.  For children who are visiting or participating for the first time, a parent/guardian will need to complete an information card in the children’s worship room.

 

How do I pick up my child? 

 

Children who attend during the 8:30 service will be brought to the appropriate small group classroom.  Children who attend during the 10:50 & 11:15 services will be picked up from the children’s worship room, E-205.

 

How will I be contacted if my child needs me? 

 

All parents/guardians are required to fill out an information card, in order for the teachers to know the general locations of the child’s care-givers during the morning services.  We also have a pager system.  Parents can pick up a pager from the nursery suite (located across from the library) before the service begins and give the number to a children’s worship teacher.

 

How can I be involved in my child’s worship experience?

 

 A family guide will be sent home with your child every Sunday, in order to apply the Biblical truths at home.  There are also a wide variety of ways for you to volunteer-from greeting children, aiding in a center, or pre-planning for an activity.
