what about my kids?
-
We understand the apprehension of leaving your child in a new place. We take this responsibility seriously and your children's safety is very important to us. Our volunteers are individuals who have volunteered because they have a heart for kids and they have all received a background check for added safety.
-
For children who are elementary or younger, you may head to the check-in tables in the lobby before the service. You will receive a sticker for each child with their name on it along with an additional sticker that has a corresponding number attached. This sticker will need to be present when picking them up to ensure that someone who is not a designated adult is picking them up.

Infants and Preschoolers are welcome to attend their classes throughout the entire church service. Their classrooms are down the hall, past the main offices and to the left at the end of the hall. If there is a problem or a parent is needed to be contacted, the volunteers will do so through the phone number given during check-in. Preschoolers are given a small lesson which includes a Bible story, songs and a coordinating activity.

Elementary-aged children (Kindergarten through 5th grade) join you in the main service for the morning songs and announcements. Before the sermon begins, the elementary-aged children will dismissed to the lobby and follow their volunteer teacher to their classroom for their Bible lesson and activity. Their classroom is located down the hall, past the main offices, take a right at the end of the hall and their classroom is the one at the end of the hall.

Middle School and High School students are welcome to join you in our multigenerational service along side you.
FAQs
Do I have to check in my kids during the service? Can they come with me to the sanctuary?
That decision is completely up to you! We want you to do what is best for your family and what you are comfortable with. People of all ages are welcome to our morning service. If little ones want something to keep their hands busy, we have coloring pages and crayons available in the lobby for them to use. If you need a quiet place to nurse your little one, our security team will point you in the direction to our nursing mama's room.
What do I wear? Is there a dress code or any expectations?
We believe that you matter more than what you are dressed in. We don't want anything material to be a reason for you not to feel welcome to our church. You will find people in a variety of clothing choices (shorts, t-shirts, dresses, flannels, etc).
Can I bring coffee into the sanctuary?
Of course! We have lids provided in the lobby for those wanting to bring their coffee into the service. Please feel free to bring your own coffee if you prefer. As always, we do have decaf or regular coffee available to you in our lobby.
