Northwood Kids | Northwood Baptist Ch

BIRTH - GRADE 5

WELCOME!

Northwood Kids provides a safe environment for children to Encounter God and Experience Community so that they become Equipped Disciples who are able to Engage Their World.

We want to partner with your family to disciple your children, so that each child has the Biblical foundation necessary to become a follower of Christ. We do this is through Life Connection Groups on Sunday morning. During your child’s LCG each Sunday they will hear a Bible Story from The Gospel Project Curriculum, taught in an age-appropriate way. Each lesson connects to Jesus and teaches kids how to apply Biblical truth to their lives.

FIRST TIME GUEST? PLAN YOUR VISIT

When you arrive on Sunday morning, head to the check-in desk in our Children's building. There, you will be greeted by one of our friendly volunteers who will assist you with checking in, going over our safety procedures for pick-up, and printing your tags.

While you're enjoying the service, you can trust that your children will be well taken care of by our screened and trained volunteers. If we need you for any reason, you will receive a text alert.

When its time for pick-up, return to the children's lobby and give the pick-up volunteer your tag. A screened volunteer will go get your child from their classroom and bring them back to you!

We have classes available during both

services for all ages!

Babies and Toddlers | Birth-2 years old
Nursery is available during both the 9:30 and 11:00 services.

Preschool | 2- 5 years old
At 9:30, we have Life Connection Groups for our preschoolers. At 11:00, our preschoolers attend “Wee-Worship”, where they enjoy songs, crafts, and interactive play.

Younger Elementary | 5-8 years old/K-2nd grade
Younger Elementary attend Life Connection Groups at 9:30 and dive deeper into our weekly lesson through engaging worship, object lessons, and dynamic activities in Children’s Church at 11:00.

Older Elementary children are invited to join their parents in worship for one service and attend LCG at the same time as their parents. We have Life Connection Groups for this age during both service hours.

Children must be symptom free from the following illnesses without medication for 24 hours before entering the classroom.

Fever of 100 degrees or higher (or 99 degrees on the forehead)
Persistent Cough/ Difficulty Breathing
Vomiting or diarrhea
Pink Eye or other eye infection
Rash
Nasal drainage which is green or yellow
Sore throat
Headache
Open sores
Common Cold/Congestion
Lice

If children are not feeling well or any of these symptoms arise during their time in Northwood Kids, parents will be texted to pick up their children.

Children with food allergies should obtain an allergy alert sticker at check-in and staff should be notified of any allergies.

Each parent and child will receive corresponding security stickers. You must have your portion of the sticker in order to pick up your child.

In the event the Children’s Ministry team needs to contact you during the service, you will receive a text message alert.

Parents are asked to notify the Children’s Ministry team of any special needs their child might have, including allergies and/or potty training.

Only approved volunteers are allowed in hallways of the children’s center. Upon your first visit, an approved worker will escort you and your child to their classroom. After your initial visit, an approved worker will take your child to their classroom. This helps our children transition well, in addition to keeping our hallways clear.

Another way that we partner with families to disciple their children is through Awana Clubs which meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:30PM throughout the school year (September - May). Northwood Kids offers Awana for children ages 2 through 6th grade. Awana is a children’s ministry curriculum designed to reach kids with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With paid registration, children will engage in games, Scripture memorization, and counsel time. Through these activities, our hope is that our children will learn to find truth in Jesus alone.
