Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I get my child checked into class?

There is a kid’s check in station where you plug in your child’s information into our secure system so that your children are ready for class. You will receive a printed name tag sticker for the child to wear during children’s ministry and a parent tag to hand in to pick up your child after church. 

How will we contact you if your child needs you during the service?

Each child’s sticker has a unique number assigned to it. If your child needs you during the service, that unique number will appear on the main screen. Please make your way promptly to the appropriate kid’s ministry room to assist your child. 

Do you screen volunteers in the Kid’s Ministry at Grace Bible Chapel?

Yes, all volunteers go through a background check and MinistrySafe training prior to serving in Kid’s ministry. 

What do we do after check-in?

Any children who are infants – Kindergarten head to their class which begins at the start of the service. Children aged 1st-5th join the worship portion of the service.  Then they will be dismissed and follow their teachers to their classroom. Please note – all children must be checked in prior to entering Kid’s ministry classrooms. 

How do we handle diaper changes?

We do not handle any diaper changes. Should your child require a change, your child’s number assigned at check-in will appear on the screen in the service. Please make your way to the Kid’s ministry room promptly to change your child’s diaper. We have a changing table in the preschool room and a fold down changing table in one of the single stall bathrooms. 

Do we have snack during Kid’s Ministry?

Yes, we do offer snack and water during Kid’s Ministry. If your child has any allergies please inform volunteers so we can accommodate the needs of your child. You are welcome to bring an alternative option for your child should they need one.

MinistrySafe is an unparalleled abuse prevention training program and screening system that every volunteer and staff member at the Chapel completes prior to serving with children. Prevention is front and center in our culture of safety at the Chapel for every child under our care. Two trained, pre-screened and unrelated adults have to be present for all of our ministry to kids, which takes place in windowed, keypad secured rooms with access to single-user bathrooms.
