KIDS MINISTRY
We welcome everyone birth-5th grade to our Kids Ministry!
CLARITY LOVES KIDS AND FAMILIES
In short, we love having families at our church! Parenting can be overwhelming; the idea of bringing kids to church can raise cold sweat on a parent’s brow. We want to reassure you that we want you and your kids at our Clarity Gatherings.
THE MISSION OF CLARITY KIDS IS:
To empower our parents to disciple their children at home during the week
To teach the Bible as God’s Word
To provide the best care possible for our children
To be hospitable to our children and parents
To provide a safe and secure environment for our children to learn and grow on Sundays
VISITING CLARITY KIDS ON SUNDAY MORNING
Clarity Kids provides classes for children from birth through 5th grade during the morning services. You’re welcome to use those services if you like, or if you prefer to have your kids in the worship gathering with you, plenty of our families do that, too!
We have a clearly identified area where parents can check in with their kids before the service begins.
Parents will receive a security tag and a name tag with their child’s name (ideally placed on the child’s back).
This tag is required to check your kids out of Clarity Kids; please keep your portion with you.
FOR YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY AND YOUR PEACE OF MIND WE...
Do background checks on all volunteers.
Have allergy alert stickers available at check-in.
Ask that when you check in your child for the first time, you provide emergency contact info and other important info that will help our volunteers know your child better.
Provide a security tag for your child, and ask for the parent’s portion of the security tag before releasing any child for check-out.
Require strict adherence to the Clarity Kids bathroom procedures, which state, “no child will be left alone with an adult anywhere.”
Require anyone entering the children’s ministry to show their security tag to a security volunteer.
Have a female-only diaper-changing policy.
A safe, loving place for your kids to learn
We believe kids and youth of all ages should have age-appropriate opportunities to learn about God in safe community. We offer classes during our Sunday morning gatherings for kids birth-5th grade.
Nursery / Preschool
For ages birth-5 years old, we have a class that provides a safe environment for play. We provide snacks and toys, along with teachers who have passed a background check.
Elementary
For ages 5 years old to 5th grade, we have a class that includes a Bible message and related activity. These kiddos also participate in the worship portion of our main gathering.
Parent/Child Dedication
Clarity does not practice the tradition of infant baptism, but we do celebrate the birth of a new family member as a loving community through what we call Parent/Child Dedications. Our desire is to inspire the community as we provide a unique setting for parents to articulate their desire to raise their child in a Godly fashion, so that they come to know and love Jesus. Therefore, we want parents to bring their little ones up on stage, introduce them to the church and encourage the body of Christ to hold them accountable as they embark on this great task of raising Godly children.
