There will be loving adults and excited youth with your children. Before serving with children, all adult members of our Children’s Ministry Team are required to be background checked, and these checks are updated every 3 years. We also encourage the middle school and high school youth at Reveal Fellowship to serve, so you will also see youth serving and loving on your children. At all times, at least one background-checked adult is present with the children.

We have designed our services to best minister to everyone at their level. Having found that children learn best in a classroom environment that is interactive and fun, the sanctuary is not the best place for them. God is not boring and we never want kids to think that because they only experience church in an adult environment. Additionally, teaching in the sanctuary is geared for adults and may contain important Biblical themes that are not appropriate for kids (think PG-13), therefore, children under 10 are not permitted in the sanctuary during the message time.

What about during worship?
During worship, newborns (0-18 mo) are permitted to be with parents in the sanctuary, but we ask that during announcements and message that children are taken to the Nursing Moms room or Nursery. Our elementary kids LOVE to get the wiggles out during worship, so our classrooms provide the best environment for them to praise Jesus.

What about our older kids?
Middle and high school students are with the adults in the sanctuary on Sundays. We also have youth group for grades 6-12 Wednesday nights at 6:30PM.

We have Goldfish and Veggie Straws available as snack options for the children.

*If your child has any allergies, please be sure to let a member of our Children’s Check-In Team know so we can ensure the allergy gets printed on your child’s nametag. It is also a good idea to mention the allergy to the teacher when dropping off your child to class!

The check-in system will have your contact information. It is very important that you keep your contact information up to date as our method of contacting parents, if needed during the service, is texting. If there are special circumstances, please speak with the teacher when dropping off your child. The 2’s and 3’s room also has a sign-in sheet where you can leave any contact information/pertinent information regarding your child.

If you lose your parent tag, you will need to go to the Children’s Check-In Desk to verify your ID and answer a couple of security questions. We want to ensure the safety of all of R-KIDS!

The “Well-Child Policy” is a way to keep a safe and healthy environment at Reveal Fellowship. We cannot accept children with a cold, fever, rash, persistent cough, diarrhea, or any other signs of illness.
