Kid's Place
Kids Place is held in our children’s rooms during our worship services. Kid’s Place serves children age birth through 5th grade. There will be classes for each age group with age-appropriate activities geared for that specific age group. Safety is vital in children’s ministry so we will have a secure check-in for each child. When the child is checked in, they will receive two labels (one to go on the child and one for the parent). Both labels will have an identification number that can be communicated to the parents if we need to reach the parent during the service. In addition to this, all of our volunteers are interviewed and a background check is run on each volunteer. Kid’s Place will also include special events such as kid’s musicals, special dramas, and Vacation Bible School. If you have any questions regarding Kid’s Place, please contact Children’s Ministries Director, Sheila Spakes, at kids@spirit-and-truth.net. |
Kid's Café
The goal of the Kid’s Café is to get children interested in learning about science, and here is how we hope to accomplish this goal at each meeting. The children start out in the same room with the adults at the Science Café during the snack time and through the opening video. After the video, the guest expert for the Science Café is introduced, and we offer the children the opportunity to ask him or her one question (if they are not too shy). Afterward, the children are dismissed to an adjacent room where the Kid’s Café has its own separate activities. Meanwhile, the parents enjoy an adult-level science discussion with a real scientist. At the end of the evening when parents and children go home, they will have an excellent opportunity to enjoy good quality time together as they share with each other about what they learned. We hope to have some special speakers for our Kid’s Café come in to talk to the children regarding their area of science expertise on the children’s level. We are currently looking for individuals who might be interested in doing this. Safety will be handled in the same manner as it is in our Kid’s Place. Our volunteers will also be interviewed and background checks run on each volunteer. Our Kid’s Café will be monitored by our volunteers when special speakers come in to speak as well.
