Before any volunteer is permitted to serve with us, they must regularly attend our church for 6 months, and undergo an application process, which includes a background check.

We have set a number of guidelines for our children’s ministry staff and volunteers. As a parent, you can help us make sure your child is well-cared for by helping us maintain these:

• No adult may ever be alone with kids.
• Adults may never be in a bathroom alone with kids.
• All rooms will have the proper ratios of trained adult volunteers.
• All staff members and volunteers must maintain appropriate physical boundaries with kids at all times. Volunteers are trained in appropriate touch.

Because we take the safety of your kids very seriously, and we screen and background check all the adults working with kids, we do not allow adults in the children’s ministry if they aren’t screened. If you want to be in the class with your child, see a member of our check-in team for a guest pass.

To help keep kids (and our volunteers) safe and healthy, kids will not be allowed to enter the children’s ministry if they have any of the following: 

• Fever of 100 degrees or greater (children must be fever-free without the use of medications for 24 hours prior to returning to a classroom), vomiting, diarrhea, chills, sore throat, rash, pink eye, or lice.
