Safety &
Security

  • In a safe environment, kids can effectively grow in their relationship with God, and parents can do the same, knowing their children are well cared for. That is why at Connections we have clear check-in and safety procedures:

    When you first arrive you will be greeted by a coordinator that will help assist you in getting a name tag with the child's name, allergies, age, along with a code.  This code will be the same code printed on all siblings and also on the parent ticket.

    Your kids will then go into different classrooms where they will learn at an age appropriate level.

    The Nursery (birth to age two) and Toddler ( age two to PreK) are split into two rooms and have sets of ministry partners that serve once a month to love on our littlest people of Connections. 

    PreK- 5th grade kiddos start their morning out by worshiping together in our Worship/Game Room. This opening time of the morning there is a strong emphasis placed on connection with each other, because we know that children learn best when they are in relationships with others.

    In each of these environments they will be led by trained, background checked volunteers that serve once a month. Each week they will participate in a biblical lesson and accompanying activities that help them to realize that God’s word is relevant in their lives.

    After the worship service is over you may go and pick up your children from their designated classroom if they are in the Nursery or Toddler area or all PreK-5th grade kids will again be in the Worship/Game room. You will be asked to present the parent pick-up ticket you were given at check in.

  • Our team is excited to meet you and your children! Everyone over the age of 18 who is a part of our KidMin team is background checked. There is protocol in place for emergency situations such as lock down, lock out, etc. Ministry partners are trained in this protocol and carry a radio that puts them in contact with our security and medical teams as well as the other people serving with KidMin. Our security team is made up of certified Police Officers.

  • We are currently using Grow.  The Grow scope and sequence will take kids through every major Bible story in three years. We  spend  an  equal amount of time in the Old and New Testaments. Through this curriculum we learn about spiritual habits that grow us closer to God; spend time with God, spend time with others, share your story, and use your gifts. 

  • We have an excellent special needs buddy program where you kiddo will get the individualized, differentiated instruction they need in order to flourish!
