CHILDREN’S MINISTRY HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS

All families are required to register EACH child for EACH Sunday and EACH hour they plan to attend so that we can pre-assign children to classes.
All children will have temperatures checked upon check in through a touchless system.
All staff, volunteers, and caregivers will be screened on arrival (temperature check, COVID questions) and required to wear a face covering and implement safety procedures.
