Connections Kids FAQ
Welcome! We are so excited that you are a part of our CNX Kids ministry or considering visiting Connections! We want to do everything we can to make your family's experience at Connections an enjoyable one.
What are your Registration Process, Security and Safety Policies?
We use a check-in process for all children birth through grade 5. At registration (near the front entrance), you will receive sticker name tags with matching numbers and icons, one for yourself and one for each child you register. If you are needed during the worship gathering, we will page you using the number on your name tag. Please make sure you verbalize to the person checking you in if your child has any allergies or other dietary concerns, as children will often be provided water and a small snack. Please make sure your child has visited the restroom and finished any beverages before entering their specific class. (Women’s restrooms are located at the top of the stairs; Men’s are located down the hall on the right.)
First Time Guests
Ready to come hang out with us?
Save time and pre-register for our secure Children's Checkin Here! Once you register as a parent/guardian you will be able to input the information of each of your children so check-in at Connections will be a breeze!
What is the security process for selecting volunteers?
Our Kids Team members and staff have been screened for criminal backgrounds in order to participate in kids’ ministries. This ensures the safety of all kids attending our classes. Our workers wear a name badge with the CNX Kids Logo to be easily identified.
What is your Illness Policy?
Out of the respect of other children and our volunteers if your child is experiencing any of the following symptoms we ask that you do not bring them into their class:
-Fever greater than 99.9 F in the past 24 hours
-Green nasal discharge
-Drainage from the eyes or ears (excluding pink eye that has been treated with medication for 24 hours)
-Any rash that is considered contagious
-Chicken Pox lesions that have not crusted over
-Diarrhea or vomiting that has occurred within the past 24 hours
What curriculum do you use?
We are excited to be combining the lessons of two incredible curriculums: First Look by Orange and Kairos Quest by 3D Movements.
First Look gives young children a first impression of their loving heavenly Father. The curriculum keeps it simple and fun, repeating one basic truth about God all month long. Super fun activities, crafts, large group Bible story, worship, and small group Bible time, all center upon three key concepts:
• God made me
• God loves me
• Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
As children progress in their journey through CNX Kids, they are introduced to Kairos Quest. Kairos Quest is all about helping kids discover the adventure of following Jesus. It gives kids a biblical framework for their lives by exploring the two big ideas from Scripture: relationship and responsibility. In Kairos Quest kids will discover what it means to live as a kid of the King and how God wants to use them to bring His kingdom to earth. Each week of Kairos Quest, kids will engage in a large group lesson full of creative storytelling techniques designed to bring the Bible to life as well as a small group lesson to help kids apply what they’ve experienced to their everyday lives.
How can I follow up with what my child is learning at home? Each week, we recap our lessons, post worship music, and provide home activities on our CNX Kids Blog. Check it out here!
Who are your leaders?
Our Family Pastor is Nicole Humphrey, an energetic and innovative leader who pours her energy into providing nurturing, consistent, and engaging learning environments for birth-12th grade at CNX. Nicole's twelve years of experience as a teacher and curriculum specialist in the school system provides a strong foundation for her ministry to children and youth. She is currently pursuing her Masters in Human Services Counseling with a Christian Ministry focus at Liberty University.
All of our teachers have been trained in the current curriculum we are teaching. All of our volunteers have a heart for children and a passion to grow God’s kingdom through children’s ministry. We honored to have awesome volunteers that truly love children!
Again, if you are planning on visiting Connections and have children from birth to grade 5 you can save time by pre-registering them into the secure KidCheck database. Once you create a parent account, use the Kid tab to fill out information for each of your children.
