Check-in & Check-out Procedures for Children & Youth

Check-in for Children’s Small Groups begins at 20 minutes prior to each church service.

We ask parents to check their child in to their small group in the Family Ministry Hallway at the beginning of each church service using the tablets provided. The system prints a nametag label for each child with their parents phone number and a large unique number. The system also prints a nametag for the parent with a matching number. Youth in Middle and High School may check themselves into their small groups without the assistance of a parent.

Parents are asked to Check-out their children with 10 minutes after the church service ends. Parents will check their child out from their classroom or on the playground with the Adult Volunteer or Foothills Staff person on duty by showing their nametag with the number that matches their child's nametag and signing them out on the class list.  Children not picked up within 15 minutes after the service will be transferred to the supervision of the Family Ministry staff on the playground or taken to find their parents by a staff member.

Youth in middle and high school Youth Groups can leave their Small Groups without being checked out by a parent.
