WELCOME TO SONS & DAUGHTERS KIDS
It is about kids having a blast, being creative, interacting and learning how to love God, each other, the world, and the least. More than anything, it is our heart to create an environment where kids feel safe to have fun, grow their relationship with Jesus and to become everything God has created them to be.
What We Believe
God is a good Father.
We are loved.
We belong to Him.
He has a plan for us.
What We Do
While in the classroom, children will experience God’s love through worship, relationships, sensory focused games and activities, and creative Bible stories. For each age group, we use an age appropriate curriculum called The Gospel Project.
VICTORY ROOM
We are proud to offer a specialized and sensory focused room for children and families that need a more one-on-one approach to kids church. Our Victory Room leaders have extensive experience, passion, and desire to work with kids who have special needs. We offer this option at the 9am and 11am service times.
For more details or questions please email our team at SDKids@theStirring.org.
SUNDAYS
Check-In Policy
You will find our check-in area at the entrance of the SD Kids hallway for Littles, and the entrance of the Catalyst Center for TK-5th grade. If you are a first-time guest at the Stirring, there is a team of people that are present on Sunday to assist with the check-in process. Each child receives a nametag with their classroom, any allergies and family ID number on it. Parents receive a tag with the family ID number on it as well. If needed during the service, the family ID number will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen in the main space. We may also send you a text. At this time, a parent needs to return to their child’s classroom. For safety purposes, parents must present their portion of the tag with the family ID number on it when picking up their child. Children will NOT be released to any adult without a matching family ID number.
Sick Policy
If your child is sick or not feeling well, we ask that you refrain from bringing him/her to the SD Kids church. Out of consideration to our kids, families and volunteers, our guidelines require that children who are ill will not be allowed into nursery or classrooms. This includes any children experiencing one or more of the following symptoms:
Fever over 99.8
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Skin rashes or eruptions
Coughing associated with a respiratory infection
Runny nose which has a yellow or green discharge
Pinkeye, which is often accompanied by a yellow/green discharge or thick drainage from the eye
Parasites such as nits, lice, mites, or ringworm
Drainage, in any form, from the ear
The same policy is enforced with our volunteers. For more information, email our team at SDKids@theStirring.org.
JOIN THE TEAM
To volunteer with SD Kids you must fill out the SD Kids leadership form and attend a new volunteer meeting.
We run a background check on every volunteer. NO applicant is ever permitted to volunteer in SD Kids if they’ve been arrested for child abuse. We meet with every volunteer to discuss the direction and vision of the SD Kid’s ministry. Every new volunteer will be supervised on a regular basis. The Never Alone Policy is strictly enforced. Adults are never alone with children. Every teacher and helper is required to wear an SD name tag, verifying they have been screened for work in the SD Kids Ministry. Because our children are so important to us, we go to GREAT LENGTHS to ensure your child’s SAFETY and CARE. To join our team fill out our SD Kids leadership form HERE.
