Children’s Check-in
If you are going to be visiting with us for the first time, we encourage you to arrive about 10 minutes early to stop by the Children’s Check-in Lobby. A member of our Children’s Ministry Team will be available to assist you in checking in your children so that we can provide the highest level of protection possible for the children placed in our care.
