Welcome to Center Grove Children's Ministry!
We Value Your Child!
We believe even though kids are small, they can achieve big things for God. That's why we partner with parents to help children, birth through 5th grade, become disciples of Jesus who LOVE, GROW, SERVE, and SHARE. We invite your child to come and experience a safe and creative environment where they will encounter the life-changing story of God.
What to Expect
Start in the foyer at Children’s Check-in. We’ll ask you to provide some basic information on our check-in form. To speed up the process, you can pre-check your child in online: online check-in form . Just in case your child needs you, we want to be able to contact you. You may choose either a pager (provided at Children’s Check-in) or texting (don’t forget your cell phone). Both options provide quick and easy notification. You will receive nametags for your kids and a Pick-up Number for you. At Children’s Check-in, you will be greeted by a volunteer happy to assist you.
From Children’s Check-in, a Kids Ministry team member will walk you and your child to his or her age-appropriate room. For the safety of our children, we ask parents to drop children off at the classroom door. Because we value your child’s safety, every Kids Ministry team member has been interviewed, trained and undergone a background check.
During the services your pager/cell phone will alert you if your child needs you. If you receive an alert, go to Children’s Check-in promptly. When you are ready to leave, simply walk to your child’s classroom door and present your Pick-up Number. The Kids Ministry team member will match your Pick-up Number to the number on your child’s nametag. Children will be released only to the person presenting this Pick-up Number.
Your Child’s Experience
The activities we prepare for your child will be based on his or her age. Learn more about what's in store for your child by following the age links at the bottom of the page.
When You Come Back
Each time you and your child come to Center Grove, begin at Children’s Checkin. Check-in opens 15 minutes prior to each service. The Kids Ministry team will use your child’s name to check-in your child. You will not need to complete the check-in form every time you come. We look forward to seeing you!
