What if my child is new to Grace?
Please visit our Children’s Welcome Center in Town Square. You will receive the necessary information to locate your child’s room. For children infants-1st grade, you will be given numbered nametag stickers. You will keep a matching number sticker for picking your child up. When you arrive at the correct room for your child, he will be checked into the room and later released to you or the person (18 or older) with the matching numbered sticker. For 2nd-5th graders, once they have their nametag sticker, they may go to the greeter outside their age level room and check in. You should arrange a place to meet after the service. Should you decide to make Grace your home church, you may register for GKC at the Children’s Welcome Center or online at www.gracecc.org/gkc. When you register, you will be able to note the specific service you desire your child to attend, and note any allergies.
Will my child be able to attend two services?
Infants-1st grade may attend two services if their parents are serving during one of the services.
Will my child be in a small group?
Yes. You may register your four-year old through fifth grade child for a small group if he will be consistently attending one specific service hour each weekend.
What if I have a special needs child?
Please let a GKC staff member know if your child has special needs, and if it would be best for him to have a “special friend”. We will work with you to meet his needs. If he needs a self-contained classroom, Mercy Place is available at 11AM on Sundays in Room 215.
How do I volunteer?
We would love to have you join our team! You can sign up online at www.gracecc.org/gkc. The online registration includes a background check. If you have any questions, or would like some direction, please contact Cyndy Parkman at 848-2722 x278.
After I sign up to volunteer, what happens?
You will be contacted by the appropriate GKC director, and he/she will give you all the information to get off to a great start.
What if my child wants to volunteer?
Great idea! Review with your child the opportunities at volunteer central and contact us with any questions or to sign up. Please note that children 12 and under must serve with a parent.
Do you screen your volunteers?
Yes. It is necessary for all GKC volunteers to fill out a ministry application online. A background check is run. We have clear ministry guidelines for the conduct of our volunteers with children.
What happens in the event of an emergency?
If the emergency is with your child alone, we will post your child’s number on the LED display in all auditoriums as well as other meeting rooms. When you see your child’s number displayed, please return to his room immediately. If the emergency is weather-related, we have very clear guidelines in each room as to how we respond. Please do not come to get your child until you are told to do so from the speaker.
