God's Garden Policies & Procedures

Please review our Well Child Policy for Sunday Worship.

Children graduate to the next class at our annual Fall Kick Off in September.

Children and infants start worship with their families and then are dismissed during Greetings & Announcements to go to their classes. The Sundays that we have Kids Worship, the children report to the classrooms at 10:45 am. Check our Upcoming Events page for the dates of our next Kids Worship!

Please remember to check if your child needs to go to the bathroom or needs a diaper change prior to dropping them off at the classrooms.
