VALUES
GOSPEL-CENTRICITY
God has good news for us when we see that we are sinners saved by Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. Everything that we do in RESkids is meant to put God on display by showing Jesus as the Hero in every Bible story we teach.
SAFETY
We want our RESkids teachers and students to feel safe in this ministry, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We have classroom policies in place known as the “RESkids Code of Conduct” where both leaders and students commit to modeling Christ’s character to ourselves and others just like Jesus does! Other safety precautions the RESkids Ministry takes includes throrough processes for screening serve staff, limiting the general public’s access to our hallways and classrooms, and the strict monitoring of appropriate adult-to-student ratios for every age group.
FUN!
Gathering together to worship and learn about God is fun because God delights in us and we delight in Him! Our leaders are intentional about bringing God’s Biblical lessons to life through creative activities, illustrations, stories, and discussions.
RESkids FAQs
Our check in hosts can be found at our ministry’s entrance and they will input your family’s information in our church’s database. Once you are in our system, you can easily check your child into our Sunday programming every week with just your phone number!
Once your child has been checked in to RESkids, the parent/guardian and the child will each
receive a sticker tag. Both tags will have a unique matching code which is needed for child pick up. Place the child’s name tag on the child and escort him/her to the appropriate class by age. The teacher will be in the classroom to receive the child.
For pick up, the parent/guardian will need to line up at the child’s classroom entrance, show the adult tag to the child’s teacher for the purpose of matching the unique code to the code on the child’s tag. From there, the child will be released to the parent/guardian.
Note that we encourage drop off happens in the 15-minute window before church service start time, and pick up happens in the 15-minute window after church service ending time.
If your child or your child’s teacher appropriately needs your immediate attention during the service, the teacher will contact you via text or phone call, instructing you to meet the child in the classroom. You are also welcome to visit and/or pick up the child from his/her classroom at any time, as needed.
Currently, RESkids does not have separate programming for children with special needs. We
are planning and recruiting serve staff for appropriate programming for this, and we hope to
have more details soon! All children are welcome in RESkids where students are grouped by
age and each group is then assigned to 1-2 adult leaders. Parents of children who might require specific care are encouraged to communicate their family’s needs with the RESkids Director of the appropriate campus.
For the safety of our children, we must screen all leaders who are given exposure to and leadership in the ministry. All serve staff (volunteers) must complete all components of the screening process before serving in the RESkids Ministry. That process includes completing an online application, supplying adequate references for us to contact, undergoing a background check, and walking through Sunday programming with the ministry’s campus Director.
We could always use help in our ministry! If you want to serve, start by completing this application:
