What To Expect on Your First Visit

Check In

On your first visit you will fill out an information card with your information as well as your child’s name and birthdate. After your first visit you can check your child in on our iPads using your cell phone number. Each time your child checks in they will receive a sticker with their name and classroom on it, as well as a cell phone number where a parent can be reached in case of an emergency. You will also receive a pick up tag with a number that is specific to your child. You will need to present the teachers with the pick up tag at the end of service.

Mother's Room

We provide a Mother’s Room located near the Kids Check In table next to the Infant/Toddler Nursery. We have the message live streaming as well as a changing table and comfortable rocking chairs.

Summer Camps

Each year, we have Vacation Bible School for Pre-K – rising 3rd graders, and Kid’s Camp for rising 4th graders – rising 6th graders.

Baby  Dedications

Baby Dedications will be held on a Sunday once a quarter for children ages 0-5 years old. Our dedication ceremony is a special moment for parents to commit their child to the Lord and to raising their child according to Biblical standards.

Your child will receive a certificate and a gift to commemorate the occasion. We will also have an opportunity for parents to take pictures with friends and family following the ceremony.
