Hello, and welcome to Redemption Hill Kids!
We LOVE to partner with you in seeing the Gospel transferred on to the coming generations. So, welcoming children in Jesus’ Name has been a very high priority in our church life since day one.
Currently, we offer two classes during the sermon portion of the service, one for babies and toddlers 8 months – 2 years, one for kids ages 3 – 5, and one for 6 – 8 year olds. Please join in praying for the Holy Spirit’s anointing on our teachers as they teach God’s living and active Word each week, in an age appropriate way, to these precious, impressionable hearts!
In advance of that we wanted to equip you with some answers to questions we thought you may have before enrolling your children! So, here’s some FAQ:
- Where is Children’s Ministry located? It will be in three of the classrooms down a hallway to the left of the main gathering area. If you go down the hallway to the left right after entering the building, you can’t miss us. There will be a check-in table there.
- What will my children be learning? For the oldest class, we utilize resources from https://www.truth78.org. The curriculum is entitled “Jesus, What A Savior; A Study for Children On Redemption,” and includes age appropriate selected Bible stories, presented chronologically, to introduce key redemptive themes. For the 3 – 5 year olds, we teach “The Gospel Story for Kids”, a curriculum from a sister Sovereign Grace church. It comes with a companion children’s Bible and family devotional and the desire behind that is to make it easy for you to either begin family devotions or to sync them with what your children are learning in class. Even in the younger class, we seek to creatively display and verbalize many of the key themes of Scripture to the kids as well as pray over them each week.
- What about security? 10-15 minutes prior to the service or during the break, please come to the check-in table to either enroll your children or check them in. Each child will receive a sticker and you will get a corresponding tag to pick them up with. It’s a quick and easy process, and we’re happy to help make it touchless as well if needed! All adults serving have completed our membership process, including meeting with one of the pastors. They have an up to date background check and have completed MinistrySafe’s abuse awareness training. We require two teachers around children at all times, utilize a hall monitor and strive to keep the teacher to child ratio low to most effectively protect and care for children while they are in class.
- What about snacks? We will be offering lights snacks and water right now, but children are welcome to bring their own snacks as well. Because some kids may have allergies or sensitivities, please do not bring any snacks with peanuts or other tree nuts. Since the rooms have carpet, we’d ask you to limit drinks to water only.
If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to contact us, we’d be happy to answer them.
See you on Sunday!
