We have several systems in place to help provide a safe, healthy, consistent environment for our kids and students.
If you are visiting Chapel with Kids or Students up thru 8th Grade, please consider pre-registering your child so our teachers will be prepared to greet your child when you arrive. Walk-in Registrations are always welcome!
We request that no child or staff person with any infectious illness symptoms participate in our programs. Please maintain the following guidelines in determining if your child is well enough to attend Chapel Kids Programming. If your child has any of the following symptoms, he/she should not attend programming. We thank you for your help in keeping our children's areas safe and healthy.
Any child should be symptom-free for 24 hours before attending:
When you arrive on Sunday mornings and for certain programs like Awana or VBS, stop by our Check-In Station. A Chapel Kids volunteer will greet you and help your family get checked in and into the right classrooms. Chapel of the Cross utilizes an electronic check-in system for all children signing in and out of children’s ministry. Children must be checked in and out by an authorized guardian.
For the safety of the children, we ask that parents refrain from sending their children into the classrooms with food or toys.
If your child does need food for a medical condition, please inform a children’s ministry volunteer of the child’s medical condition and the process for giving the food to the child.
Our children's ministry relies on our adult and youth volunteers using the talents and gifts God has given them to teach children and build relationships with both the kids and other volunteers. Contact the Director of Children's Ministries and/or the Director of Student Ministries, to discuss your interest and begin the screening process.
Chapel periodically holds child dedication services. The dedication service is a time for the congregation to celebrate and thank God for the gift of our children. It’s also a time for parents to commit to model what following Jesus looks like. It is the parent's promise to raise their children:
to understand that they are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, to believe that the Bible is the Absolute Truth, to know the importance of committing to a community of faith in the local church.
If you would like to be a part of our next dedication service, please fill out our dedication service form.
