3. Stay in their seat unless given permission to get up.
4. Treat others with kindness.
5. Refrain from using inappropriate language.
Safety Procedures
To ensure the safety of our children, Consolidated’s Children's Ministry maintains the following procedures anytime you entrust them to our care:
1. Parents must check their child(ren) in at the registration table.
2. All children are assigned a number. Stickers for infants and toddlers. Photo ID badges for those in preschool through fifth grade. Parents receive a matching number.
3. If a child needs his/her parents, the number will appear on the screen in the sanctuary. Parents should immediately report to their child’s designated area.
4. To retrieve your children at the end of the service/event, parents must present the correct number sticker to pick up infants or toddlers, or the corresponding ID badge for those in preschool through fifth grade.
5. The child must be picked up by the parent or guardian who signed the child in, or the parent must notify staff upon registration that an authorized adult will be picking the child up that day, providing the name of the adult. The authorized adult must be listed on the child application form that each parent will complete.
6. Parents/guardians are expected to stay on the premises at all times that children are participating in Sunday School, Children’s Worship, Wednesday Night Bible Study, or Noah’s Ark.
