WellSpring Kids

Helping kids follow Jesus
 

During our 9:00 and 10:45am worship services, we offer age-appropriate worship, Bible-based mini-lessons, crafts, and fun for infant – 5th grade kids.

Prefer to join us online?  Check out our WellSpring Kids Facebook Group for age-appropriate lessons from our team!

 

The story of God’s love for us (and our chance to live action-packed lives for Him) is EXCITING, and we want to pass that passion on to your children.  You won’t find lecture-style, desk-bound classroom settings at WellSpring Kids.  Instead, your kids will learn while singing, dancing, watching puppet shows, and enjoying a host of other “kid-friendly” activities.  Each teacher and volunteer considers Sunday worship services to be some of the best hours of the week, and we think your children will feel the same way!

Commitment to Safety

 
We do everything we can to ensure your kids are taught and cared for in a safe environment.  Learn more about our commitment to the safety of our children below.

WellSpring Kids’ COVID-19 policies and procedures

Learn about the precautions we’re taking to create the safest possible children’s ministry environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Masks are optional for kids and adult volunteers during both our 9am and 10:45am worship services.
  • We’ve increased hygiene and cleaning protocols in our WellSpring Kids spaces during services.
  • Additional hand sanitizing stations will be available in the WellSpring Kids check-in and hallway area.
  • All toys and hard surfaces will be sanitized at before and after service.
  • Snacks will not be served during class.
  • Use hand sanitizer or wash your hands before entering the WellSpring Kids area. Encourage your child to do the same.
  • Stay home and join us online if your child has had a fever in the last 14 days, is showing any symptoms of COVID-19, or has been around anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

Safety and Security at WellSpring Kids

In today’s world, your kids’ safety isn’t something that you take for granted.  WellSpring does everything possible to ensure that your kids are taught and cared for in a safe environment.  We find that the three topics below are the ones that are of most concern to parents.  If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us–we know that you care about your kids, and so do we!
Child “check-in and check-out” policies

When your family visits WellSpring for the first time, visit our guest info counter (look for the “Visiting? Start here!” sign). A friendly volunteer will help you check in your child(ren); this simple, one-time-only process allows us to gather basic information about your child, such as his/her age, gender, name, and known medical concerns.

When the registration process is complete, you’ll receive a two-part sticker for each child.  One sticker (containing your kid’s name, age, and other info) adheres to your child’s clothing; place the other sticker on yourself (and don’t lose it!).  Both stickers contain a unique matching number, effectively linking you (and only you) to your child.  This numbered sticker system ensures that only an adult with a numerically-matching sticker can pick up a child from his/her class.  Additionally, your child’s number will be displayed in the main worship service if your assistance is needed for any reason.

Your kids’ info will be saved in our database after your first visit, so you’ll be able to use the self-serve check-in kiosks the next time you’re here.

Food allergies and other health concerns

During the initial registration process, please mention any child-specific allergies or medical information.  WellSpring Kids teachers and volunteers check for “medical alert” stickers and respond accordingly.

Teacher & volunteer background checks and training

Every WellSpring Kids teacher and volunteer undergoes a thorough background check, and there is a zero tolerance policy regarding applicants with “yellow flags” in their background check.  This ensures that no “bad guys” find their way into our ministry.
