Kid Connection Priorities
Growing in God – The #1 priority

jpg We want to see kids . . .
      • Accepting Jesus    Worshipping
      • Loving the Bible     Serving
      • Praying                 Evangelizing

Fun – The Kid Priority

     We want to see . . .
           • Happy Kids –Through creative, experiential learning kids will know that church is fun and therefore serving God is fun.
           • Happy Workers – Our team of workers is upbeat, positive and excited to be there! We want you to leave our services encouraged in your spirit!

Safe – The Parent Priority

    We must have . . .
         • Clean & orderly classrooms
         • 2 leaders per classroom – We strive for a ratio of 5 kids to 1 adult or better.
         • Background checks – National & State Criminal & Child Abuse on every Worker
                             • Security name tags for workers, Security cards for parents
                             • Emergency Contact & Allergy Information for every child

Check in Process

Since safety is our priority, we have a check in process for all children & adults in the Children's Area.

1. Check in child at classroom & get a security card from teacher

2. Pick up child with Security Card that matches the number in attendance book

Note: Adults have 3 "tickets" into the area: 1) bringing a child for check in, 2) a Team Minister photo ID lanyard (given after security clearance), 3) a security card. Also, you may pass the card to someone you trust to pick up your child (spouse, grandparent, relative).
