Welcome to

the WAVE

Children's Ministry

The Wave Ministry desires to partner with parents to lead children to CATCH the Wave of God’s Amazing Love, DIVE Deep into His Word, and CAST His Love to Everyone!


Our Wave Ministry staff and volunteers (Wave Leaders) are passionate about children and excited to partner with parents in leading their children to better understand who God is and how to begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

CHURCH is the primary equipper of parents and

PARENTS are the primary disciplers in the home.


And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. Deuteronomy 6:6-7

FAMILY WORSHIP

SUNDAY, october 15

September 15th will be a Family Worship day. 

Children are encouraged to attend service with their families.  This is a great time for adults to model worship with their children. 

Safety and security

CHECK-IN

We begin receiving children into classrooms 15 minutes before each service starts. Per our Safe Sanctuary Policy, all classrooms must have 2 adult Wave Leaders present before receiving children.  Check-in/Registration begins 30 minutes before each service. 

 

SECURITY TAGS

All children birth-5th grade must be check-in and out by an adult. 

When registering, you will receive two tags: one will be a name tag for your child to wear and the other will be a security code tag.  Both tags will have the same unique security code on them. 

 

The security tags serve two purposes:

  • Parent Paging – If we need you during service, we will send a text to the number listed on your registration form.  If we do not receive a reply, the security code on your sticker will be displayed on the screen in the Worship Service, and we ask that you return promptly to the Wave Ministry Building.
  • Child Pick-up – You must present the security code to the adult at the classroom door, the adult will match the code with your child’s name badge before releasing the child to you. 
  • Children will be released to adults only (18 years of age and older). 

CHILD PROTECTION/SAFE SANCTUARY

All Adult Wave Ministry Volunteers (Wave Leaders) have completed Safe Sanctuary Child Protection Training and an extensive background check has been conducted.  You can read our policy below. Our Jr. Wave Leaders (6th grade - 17 years old) have also completed Safe Sanctuary training and sign a Youth Volunteer Covenant. Our Wave Leaders can be identified by our signature blue Wave Leader shirts and a name tag.

 

 

WELLNESS

It is our desire to provide a healthy and safe environment for all protected persons at Chapin Christian Community Church. Parents are encouraged to be considerate of others when deciding whether to place a protected person under our care. In general, individuals with the following symptoms should NOT be dropped off:

Fever, diarrhea, or vomiting within the last 48 hours;

Green or yellow runny nose;

Eye or skin infections; and/or

    Birth-5th grade

    We use D6 curriculum in our Sunday School classrooms.

    D6 connects the church to home and families to one another. D6 is based on the principles of Deuteronomy 6:5-9—love God, love His Word, and teach your children to do the same.

    D6 Curriculum helps parents connect with kids through the use of devotional study guides and other take-home resources that help equip the home. We encourage parents to read the quarterly devotion books with their children.

  • sOnflower ministry (special needs)

    * Offered during the 11:15am Worship hour only.

    If you have a child who would like to join our SonFlower Ministry on Sunday Mornings, please contact natalie@chapinccc.org


    The SonFlower Ministry exists to provide a Christ-centered, inclusive environment for individuals with specific needs. We desire to partner with families as they participate in the life of our church. 

     

    In most situations, we use a buddy system where the individual is matched with a buddy who will provide individual care in a classroom of peers. When needed, individuals may be served in our SonFlower classroom led by at least two trained adult Wave Leaders.

     

    If your child has a special need requiring extra care, please contact Natalie McCoy at natalie@chapinccc.org. We want to be prepared to provide the best environment for your child.  We would love to learn more about your child and work with you to provide a safe, nurturing environment for your child to experience the love of Jesus and enjoy being a part of our faith family.

serving in the wave ministry

We believe that the job of discipling our children and partnering with parents is one of the most important things we can do. We also recognize that this is a team effort. We love when our parents, grandparents and church members serve in the Wave Ministry.
