FAQ – Fast Facts for Parents

Is it okay to bring my child to service with me?

    Yes, you can bring your child to the service with you. We also have a family room located at the back of the worship center. Please consider that our services are intended for adults and sometimes the topics are not appropriate for children. We believe children can grasp who Jesus is at any age. Our kids’ services are geared just for them, providing a fun, creative, age-appropriate, interactive church experience. Each weekend we use drama, music, and storytelling to bring Jesus’ story alive. This isn’t childcare for your children, this is Kid’s Church.

How do you keep my child safe?

    We have a state-of-the-art check-in system that generates a random numeric code each time you check in. This code is printed on the child’s tag and the matching parent receipt. You must check in before you drop off your child. You must present this receipt to pick up your child. The parent receipt can only be printed once to ensure your child’s safety. We complete background checks before someone can become a member of our team.

What if my child needs me?

    The numeric code on your parent receipt will appear on the small LCD screens in the front corners of the worship center during the service. Please go directly to your child’s classroom.

When will my child go to the next grade with C3 Kids?

    C3 kids follows the Johnston County Schools for promoting your child to the next grade. This is to ensure everyone moves up at the same time. This year our promotion weekend is August 15th & 16th 2009. There all kids will move to their next grade level. If you have any questions please fill free to contact our C3 Kids Staff.

What if my child just turned 5 but is not yet enrolled into kindergarten?

    Because we want to be sure we are sensitive to every child’s level of knowledge and ability we do not allow a child who is 5 join the C3 Kids Kindergarten classroom until promotion weekend. This allows your child to promote with a core group of kids who will hopefully be their teammates and friends.

Is there a private area where I can nurse my baby?

    Yes. Nursing mothers can check in at the preschool kiosks and will be taken to our nurseries, to nurse in privacy. The service coach will show you where the nursing area is located.

How do you keep things clean?

    Toys and equipment are cleaned with Clorox anywhere spray after each service. We use single-use gloves during diaper changes, and we keep latex-free gloves on hand for latex allergies. Our midweek team cleans rooms thoroughly each week to prepare for the weekend services. We have a well-child (and ministry team) policy. Please do not bring your child if they have had a fever within the past 24-hours, colored drainage, a cough, or any other contagious illness.

Can I help out in my kid’s classroom?

    Yes! If your gift is working with children, please consider serving in one of our kids’ ministries. We are happy to have you!
