SUNDAY MORNINGS
We teach kids the same basic heart truths over and over again until they fully understand them: God created me. God loves me. Jesus wants to be my friend forever! Each of our classes are designed to help even the youngest children begin to understand that God made everything for a purpose-even them! We look forward to this incredible journey with your child and partnering with you in guiding them through prayer and teaching, to help develop Godly character and build lasting relationships as they move towards a whole hearted commitment to Christ.

SECURITY
We want you to know that your child is safe and secure while you are in service! We are committed to ensuring all volunteers have background checks before they are placed in a room with your child.
We have a child security computer based check-in system that applies to ALL children, babies through 5th grade! Computers are located in both the Preschool and Children’s halls. When you arrive on Sunday mornings, your children will be checked in by entering your last name into the computer, select the appropriate class for your child and print. Your child’s label and pick-up labels for you will be printed.
If you are needed while your child is in our care, we will contact you. If you are in the Worship Center and you are needed, the 3 digits on your child’s check-in label will appear on the message board so that you may come to the preschool area and receive or console your child.
If you are attending a Small Group, before checking in at the computers please get a pager from our pager counter located in the nursery hall.
For our guests, and for those needing additional assistance, we have trained volunteers available to assist you in this process!
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Club 34 6:30-8:00pm
This is the time for your 3 and 4 year olds to learn how they can worship God through praise & music! They will also learn about Missions, to help them understand that not everyone knows about God’s love and what we can do to help others learn about this good news! Childcare for babies and children through age 4 attending mission friends and praise & music is available to parents who are participating in other ministry events in the building. If you are not involved in any event and would like your child to participate in club 34, for the safety of your child it is required that you remain in the building while your child is in our care.
Club Nursery 6:00-8:00pm
Are you plugged in? Don’t forget that while your kids are at Kids Club we also have Club Nursery (ages 0-2) So, if you want to attend a Bible Study or maybe even join the choir we have something for everyone!
PROMOTION
Children in our nursery classes are promoted throughout the year based on both age and motor skills development. New babies begin in our Baby “A” class. As your child begins to crawl, he will be moved to Baby “B.” When walking, he’ll be moved to Baby “C.” As they become more social and interact more with others they will be moved to Baby “D.” Please make your child’s teacher aware of his/her developmental milestones, so that we may best meet the needs of your baby.
Children ages two, three and four are promoted once a year in the fall. In order for children to be promoted to the next age group they must be the age of that group by Septmeber 1st. We promote children with the same requirement as the public school system. Each child in our kindergarten program must have reached age five by Septemeber 1st.
