• Because we value the safety and security of your children, we have a check-in process when you arrive. Each child will receive a name sticker tag with a security number that matches the sticker for the adult responsible for the child. This number is also our communication to you while you are in the Gathering if we need to connect with you. If you would like to complete the information before arriving, please click on Children's Ministry Registration Form in advance of Sunday morning.
• We value the relationship between the adult servants and children believing that this connection lays the foundation for felt safety in each room. Our Room Leaders serve every week providing the consistency necessary for strong connection. We also have classroom helpers serving to assist the Room Leader. . All consistent servants complete background checks.
• Kettlebrook Children's Ministry standard health and wellness policy can be found here.

Adult servants commit to being in the rooms regularly which creates an environment where children feel safe and connected, allowing them to learn about and experience the love of Jesus. Age-appropriate toys and games are offered. A curriculum-based program is used for children aged three years to first grade with worship, teaching and supplemental activities.

Rising STARS is an engaging environment that focuses on building relationships that center on loving and following Jesus. Through small groups, activities, and prayer, kids are encouraged to interact with the Bible and apply it to their lives.

The purpose of both programs is to partner with families to help children learn to:

• Surrender themselves to God: learning what it means to worship Him
• Team with other Christ followers: realizing the value of relationship
• Advance in their spiritual lives: growing in their faith
• Reach out to others: sharing God's love
• Serve God and His Kingdom

Children from hard places are simply children who have experienced some form of trauma in their lives. God placed so many of these children in our midst and we are honored we can join Him on His mission to love them. It is our desire to create a space that is safe, loving, and understanding of the unique way these children are wired as a result of their experiences.

When we know that a child with special needs will be attending All STARS, we make every effort to accommodate that child’s needs by partnering with the parents.
