You and your child will each receive a sticker with a unique security code on it. This will allow us to securely and safely connect you after the service. After registering and receiving your stickers, a volunteer will lead you and your child to their age-appropriate room and introduce them to their teacher.
Safety
Here at The Gathering, the safety of children is our highest priority.
We have several policies in place that ensure every child who enters our care will have a safe and positive experience. These include:

- Biennial background checks for all kids volunteers

What will my kids learn?
We utilize stories and passages from the Bible to teach our kids 6 foundational truths:
- God made me.
- God loves me.
- Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
- I can trust God no matter what.
- I need to make wise choices.
- I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
These truths are taught in fun and developmentally-appropriate ways with the support of interactive videos, group games, worship songs, and small group discussions. More than anything, we hope our kids walk away knowing how deeply they are loved by God.
