Kids check-in.
Every adult who works with kids has passed a background check and training. There are always two adults in a room.
| Ages | Group | Where | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–2 | NurseryAges 0 to 2 | Room 2, off the courtyard | Cribs, rocking chairs and two adults in the room. If we need you, your number shows on the screen at the front. |
| 3–5 | PreschoolAges 3 to 5 | Room 4, off the courtyard | Songs, a Bible story and a snack. Tell us about allergies at check-in. |
| K–5 | ElementaryKindergarten to 5th grade | The hall behind the courtyard | Kids start in the service with you, then leave together after the songs. |
| 6–12 | Students6th to 12th grade | With you in the service | Students sit with their families on Sundays and meet on their own Fridays at 7. |
- At the kids desk in the courtyard, give your kid’s name and any allergies.
- You get a sticker with a number. Your kid wears the matching one.
- To pick up, show your sticker at the door of the room. No sticker, no pickup.
Want someone to meet you?
Tell us which Sunday. Someone will wait by the front steps, walk you to the kids desk and save you a seat.

Questions people ask first.
What should I wear?
Whatever you’d wear to a neighbor’s barbecue. Some people dress up at 9:00, most don’t at 11:00.
Will I be asked to give money?
No. There’s a box by the doors and a page online for people who call this home. Guests aren’t expected to give.
Can my kids stay with me?
Yes. Kids are welcome in the service. There’s a quiet room with a window and speakers at the back if someone gets loud.
Will anyone single me out?
No. Nobody asks guests to stand up or wear a name tag. If you’d like someone to meet you, ask below.
