We hope to have the small group leader introduced and meet mom/dad upon first visit whether it be the beginning or end of the service. We’d love to shake your hands and introduce ourselves right away as we begin to develop trust and relationship.


Check-out Procedure

Children may not leave the kids’ wing for any reason without their responsible adult turning in the corresponding ID sticker to match the child’s sticker.
