Parents
A Note from Matt…
Hello Parents!
God called me in the Spring of 2011 to serve here at South Baptist Church as the Director of Children’s Ministries. This means that I am here to oversee the ministry to newborns through children in 5th grade. Obviously there are many stages of development during these years, so the goal for each age group is slightly different.
For the Babies, we do our best to see that your child receives loving and competent care while you are attending the church services.
Age-appropriate programs are available for 2-3 yr. old and 4-5 yr. old children. Through the use of activity centers, Bible stories, crafts, music and hands-on fun, children will be provided with a safe and secure environment as they learn about God’s Word.
Our elementary-age Kidtown Program is designed to assist parents in guiding children into a relationship with God, grounding them in God’s Word, and helping them discover their God-given gifts so that they may grow into fully-devoted followers of Christ.
Some general “housekeeping” information…
For consistency and the safety of our children, the nurseries have a security ID program. When your child is signed in, you will receive a pager for the time that your child is in the nursery.
In order for a child to be cared for in the nursery, an children’s information and instructional card is required. This provides important information about your child. No children will be allowed to be left in either nursery until two nursery workers are present. We apologize in advance, knowing that this may cause you an inconvenience, but we must be certain caregivers are present to tend to the children.
If there is anything I can do to help you on your journey in parenting, please don’t hesitate to call. You can reach me at any of the following:
