SAFETY AND SECURITY

Our priority at New Direction is to help kids follow Jesus. We realize that this can only be done in a safe and fun environment. That is why security is important to us. On your first visit to you’ll be asked to stop at our Kids Check-In table to sign in your kids. We will ask you a few questions that lets us know about you and your child(ren). You can also let us know of any special concerns or allergies that would be helpful for us as we partner with you. Once you are checked-in, you and your child will be directed to their classroom area. Then, once the service is over, you simply return to your child’s classroom area to pick up your child. In the event that we need to contact you during the service, you will receive a text message. We ask that you exit the service immediately and report to the New Direction Kids building. All of our New Direction Kids volunteers have background checks and are passionate about teaching your child how to follow Jesus.

PARENTING

It’s our goal for New Direction Kid’s ministry to come alongside of YOU, the parent to help you lead your children to Christ! Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train a child which way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

We know at New Direction your kids will only get a couple hundred of hours with us each year, but will receive hundreds to thousands of hours from you at home. Parents, you are your child’s greatest spiritual influence, and we desire to give you resources to help you at home. Click the video below to find out more about the Parent Cue App!
