Program Overview

Sacred Safety

• All staff and volunteers have undergone back ground checks.

• All parents/guardians are required to sign their children, (ages 9 mos. to 10 years), in each Sunday and to have a registration form on file.

• At the conclusion of the adult Sunday service the children join the adults for a closing experience.

• Once the service has ended the children are guided back to the classroom and parents/guardians are required to pick them up immediately following the service and to sign them out.

• Youth ministry programs are available for children and teens, 9 mos. to 18 years, during the 11:00 am Service only.  We ask you to drop your children off between 10:45 and 11:00 am. This allows us time to greet you and your children and to help them make an easy transition into our programs.
