2BC Kids are Awesome!
We provide an inviting and exciting atmosphere for families to raise their children together within the family of faith. We teach children the stories of Scripture and model for them the way of faith, hope, and love. In turn, our children show us how to enter God’s kingdom with humble trust (Matthew 18:1-5). We invite you to bring your kids into our wonderful community where children are treasured!
Worship Care
Loving childcare is provided for infants through Pre-K children during our 9:00 a.m. Well service and our 11:00 a.m. Sanctuary service on Sundays. We gladly welcome kindergartners through fifth graders into our services.
We take it seriously that you entrust your precious children to us. We know that their safety and health are a top priority for you, and their well-being is a priority for us as well. Through our “Safe at Second” program, we maintain policies and practices designed to ensure the safety and security of infants, preschoolers, and youth in our care. That way, parents can participate in Sunday School and Worship knowing their children are safe.
Pick-up and Drop-off Procedures for Worship Care
- All children must be dropped off and picked up by an adult after completing our electronic check-in.
- At check-in, your child will receive a name sticker, and you will receive a guardian tag sticker to be used when picking up your child.
- Please label all items that you bring including diaper bags, bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers, and coats.
