YOUR FIRST VISIT
From babies to fifth graders, our team wants to give your family an excellent experience. When you arrive, our team will happily show you the way to the children's area. You'll go to the first-time check-in station where you can tell us a little about your family to help us serve you well. On our check-in form we'll ask things like what allergies your child may have, how many children are in your family, and get your contact information. Then, you and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code. If for any reason we need to reach you during the service, you will receive a text message. Your sticker is also what you'll use to pick up your child after the service.
WHAT SUNDAY LOOKS LIKE
We offer various exciting classes for children during each service.
Nursery & Preschool: Children ages 0-5 years old can go to the nursery and preschool 10 minutes before the start of service. The classes are as followed:
Infant room: 0–12 months old
Nursery room: 12–24 months old
Toddler room: 2–3 years old
Preschool room: 4–5 years old (not in kindergarten)
Elementary: Children in kindergarten to 5th grade go to service with their guardians for worship then are dismissed before the sermon.
Lower Elementary Room: Kindergarten–2nd Grade
Upper Elementary Room: 3rd–5th Grade
SPECIAL NEEDS AND SENSORY CLASSROOM
If you would like to use the Special Needs and Sensory Room on Sunday, we request prior sign up by the Friday before, so we can match your child with a buddy! These questions allow us to provide the best experience and safest environment for all of our friends within ministry. Our church leaders and ministry volunteers will respect your family's right to privacy. Any information shared is communicated directly with those caring for your family member and only on a "need to know" basis. Click here to register.
PARTNERING WITH PARENTS
We believe the very best way we can help your kids develop a strong spiritual foundation is by partnering with you. Together, we can help encourage, train, and pray for them as they grow in their faith.
Here are some practical ways you can help us make the most of your child's time spent at church:
- After the service, review the lesson your children learned that day.
- Build relationships with other Encompass parents by visiting a Group for parents.
- Pray for your children each week as they come to the Sunday service, and pray for our teams as they serve and care for your kids.
Email our Children's Ministry Director at michelle@encompass.church if you have any questions.
PARTNERING WITH TRAIL LIFE
Trail Life is a Church-Based, Christ-Centered, Boy-Focused mentoring and discipleship journey that speaks to the heart of a boy. Established on timeless values derived from the Bible and set in the context of outdoor adventure, boys from Kindergarten through 12th grade are engaged in a Troop setting by male mentors where they are challenged to grow in character, understand their purpose, serve their community, and develop practical leadership skills to carry out the mission for which they were created.
