Getting Started

Start Time and Checking In

Our Kids' Program is open for both our 9:00 & 11:00 a.m. Sunday services. Children may be dropped off 15 minutes before the service begins (8:45 or 10:45 a.m.).

When you come to Hills Church on a Sunday morning, you will be welcomed in the lobby just outside the Kids’ Space. A Kids’ Program host will help you check your kids into class for the day using one of our registration ipads. We will print a nametag for each child, and provide parents with a receipt that is required for picking up your children after the service.

The host will show you to your child’s classroom, where you can meet the teacher. (One parent is welcome back into the Kids' space if children are having separation issues to help them into their classroom).

For your peace of mind and the well-being of your children, all of our Hills Kids’ worker go through regular training with our Kids Program leaders, as well as a background check. Our kids, youth, office, and auditorium spaces also have security cameras that record full-time as an extra layer of security and accountability.

During the Service

Our kids will engage in age-appropriate Bible teaching, and activities that will be geared towards independent engagement rather than communal play. Our trusted teachers and assistants use the Bible, engaging games, and focused activities to help the children learn and apply God’s truth to their lives. If there is an issue during the service, we will send a text message to your phone, alerting you to come to your child’s classroom. The kids may also have an opportunity to watch an age appropriate video, most which have biblical values woven into the shows. Our goal is to encourage kids towards following God and learning about Jesus.

Paging

Each family will be asked to provide a mobile phone number when checking in, in case we need to reach you during the service. If there is an issue, we will send a text message to your phone alerting you to go to your child’s classroom.

After the Service

Shortly after the adult service ends, you should return to the host station area at the Kids’ Program entrance. The Hills Kids’ workers will have your child ready for you when you arrive. We will do everything in our power to make the experience your children have with us, both safe and enjoyable.
