Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our mission and what you can expect when you visit us!
What will my child be learning?
It is our desire to instill into your children a high view of God and His word through the use of doctrinally sound, biblical materials. It is our goal to teach your children how to have a personal relationship with God through Jesus and to live in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord. Our teachers are carefully selected, screened, and trained to provide a safe, cheerful, and disciplined environment.
We use the Generations of Grace curriculum for children in Kindergarten – 6th grade. This curriculum also offers 5-day Family Devotions for each lesson, which introduces the students to the lesson that will be taught on the upcoming Sunday. These devotions are a great way to expose your children to the lesson six days out of the week.
What do I need to bring?
If you have a baby or toddler, feel free to bring a diaper bag. We also provide stroller parking. For children over 2 years old, you don’t need to bring anything at all! We provide extra diapers, so don’t worry if you forget.
How do I know my child will be safe?
Safety and security are high priorities at Hope Bible Church. We have many policies and procedures in place to keep every child safe. All volunteers are screened via a background check, and security personnel are stationed throughout the Children’s Ministry area. We also take appropriate measures and protocols to address health viruses.
When do I will drop off my child?
Check-in starts at 9:10 am, which provides time for you to check-in your child and arrive to your 9:30 am Growing Disciples class on time. Parents can begin to drop off children for the Worship Service at 10:40 am.
Can I stay with my child?
Parents are not able to stay in the Children’s Ministry classes for security reasons. However, parents can certainly come by to check on their children as they need.
What if my child needs me during service?
Parents are able to provide their cell phone number at check-in. If your child needs a parent or there are disciplinary issues that require the assistance of a parent, the teacher will text the parent. Alternatively, we can also have ushers and/or security personnel locate parents in their class or the worship center.
What if I have more questions?
We’re happy to answer any questions you may have. For more information about the Children’s Ministry, please contact [email protected].
