Waterlife Kids is…
SAFE
All kids leaders are interviewed, background checked, and trained regularly.
We require a registration form for each child to have guardian contact info, photography consent, and health alerts on file.
At check-in, each child receives a badge with their name, unique identity number, and safety information.
Parents receive a guardian receipt that must be shown at checkout with the same identity number as their child to be picked up.
If parental assistance is needed during the service, families are notified by text and/or the child’s identity number will appear on the main auditorium screen.
We have a safety team and a designated police officer on site each Sunday morning as well as a safety plan in place to ensure that our that our church is a secure and welcoming place.
STRUCTURED
Kids start their mornings in their small groups based on their age/grade level.
Each small group has designated leaders who remain with them all morning.
Each small group is staffed based on their age group’s leader to kid ratio.
In small groups, children discover the bible story of the day through engaging activities and group discussions. Each lesson ends with a time of prayer.
Once kids turn three, they leave their small group setting for 20-30 minutes to participate in large group consisting of worship music, a teaching video, memory verse recap, offering, and prayer.
We set an expectation for kids to "Light The Way" which stands for listening and following directions, including others, giving respect, having safe fun, and trying our best.
STRATEGIC
We use scripturally based, activity-driven curriculums that provide biblical understanding and practical application for children based on their developmental stages beginning at age 2.
Adapted curriculum, specially trained volunteers, and a support room are available to children needing additional health, cognitive, or social/emotional supports during all services.
Our Waterlife Kids Team want to partner with you to help lead your child to Jesus.
Keep us informed on upcoming events, prayer requests, and exciting news in your family!
Through conversations at drop off/pick up, monthly curriculum handouts, “Pre-Cap” & “Recap” cards for those in nursery, along with additional resources shared through digital platforms, we hope to provide parents with many resources.
