Coming to Kid's Church

Kids' Church is our favourite time of the week because it is when we gather to worship and praise Jesus, learn more about God's Word and make life long friends!

2022-2023 Family Registration Form

Nursery

• The Nursery is open and often staffed for babies up to 2 years old.
• When staffed, parents are free to use the parent room. Otherwise, they are asked to take part in the service.
• Nursery Check In is open from 9:45 to 10:15am. The maximum capacity is 2 leaders: 6 babies.
• There is a parent space, change table & nursing room just outside the nursery for families, as well.

Kids' Church

• Head up the main stairs and towards the coffee station. You'll find us right next to the coffee and the Nursery entrance.
• Please check your child into Kids’ Church BEFORE the service. 
• Check In will be open from 9:30 - 10:10 am.
• When you arrive, a team member will give your child a name tag and you will receive a matching security sticker for picking them up. Do not lose this sticker! You will need to show this after the service to pick up your children.
• All personal belongings should stay with the parents. Please do not bring any toys or food from home. Toddlers can bring a sippy cup or water bottle with their name clearly labelled.

• For the summer! Sign in opens at 9:30am. Kids stay with their parents until just after the first song. They are dismissed to the program downstairs just for kids 3 years old - Grade 5.
• We ask that families arrive early to make sure that they are signed into our secure system before 10:10am.
• During Kids Church we spend time playing games, learning God's Word, doing fun activities, and worshipping together. Children will understand how the whole Bible points to Jesus and the Gospel. We teach kids that the Bible is more than just a story - it's Good News!

Kids Classes

From September to June, there are 4 classes for children downstairs:

• Toddlers - Age 2 & 3
• PreK - Age 4 & Kindergarten
• Younger Elementary - Grades 1 & 2
• Older Elementary - Grades 3-5

During Class Time

• Kids will enjoy free play with friends, a large group worship time and bible lessons tailored to their age and stage.
• We will do our best to limit sharing by providing each child with their own craft or game supplies and will clean all high touch surfaces between services. All toys will be washed and sterilized after Sunday services.

Going Home:

Dismissal

• Immediately after the service, please go downstairs via the lower lobby to pick up your child. 
• Once you have shown your security sticker to the attendant, they will send a Kids’ Team member to retrieve your child for you.
• Important! We must see your security sticker to safely check your child out to you. We ask that the same family member who dropped off the child pick up the child. This must be an adult and cannot be a sibling. For added safety during the service, only Kids’ Team Members are permitted downstairs during Check-In and Dismissal.
• Children and family members will not be able to come back into the classrooms after they have been checked out.
• As always, your family’s health and safety is very important to us! Thank you so much for your patience as we take steps to provide a fun and safe Children’s Ministry. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and loved.
