check-out happens promptly following the gathering to help us with the quick transition between gatherings. you MUST have your parent tag from check in to pick up your child.
do the teachers have background checks?
yes. we use Checkr to run background checks on all volunteers to ensure your child’s safety.
what curriculum do you use?
we use the gospel project® as the backdrop of our weekly mlkidz lessons and activity. the gospel project® immerses kids in the gospel through every story, theological concept, and call to mission from genesis to revelation. ultimately, the gospel message changes everything; heart transformation can only take place when a child experiences the gospel. through the gospel project® for kids, kids and preschoolers will understand the Bible is not just a collection of stories, but one unified story—God’s story of redemption.
what is there for families outside of wednesday nights?
