Kid Keepers
Kid Keepers offers childcare for special events to enable a ministry's growth and outreach so that parents are able to attend the ministry event.
Child Check-In
Kid Keepers check-in begins 15 minutes before each event. Check-in for Kid Keepers is in the lobby of the Children’s Ministry building.
First-time guests will proceed to the Guest Check-In desk, located in the lobby of the children’s ministry building (Download a map of our facilities), and will be asked to complete a guest registration card. Upon check-in, both parents and their children will receive sticker tags with matching alpha-numeric codes. These tags serve two purposes:
- Parent paging – If a child has a medical or behavioral issue, their security number will be displayed in the Worship Center. This alerts parents that their assistance is needed, and that they should report to the Children’s Ministries building immediately.
- Security – Parents must present their portion of the security tag when picking up their child. Children will not be released to any adult without matching security tags.
