Our Discovery Kid’s Ministry (DKM) has asked me and the other ministry leaders to pass along a copy of their new Childcare Request Form to group leaders. To complete the form click the button below.
Please keep in mind that the kid’s ministry is not tasked with providing childcare for group meetings but they are happy to assist where possible. For the last two years the Adult Discipleship Ministry has budgeted money to pay childcare workers in DKM. Money was allocated for three different meeting times and the intent has been to place childcare on days and times where we are trying to grow group participation. The goal has not been to provide childcare to groups that traditionally didn’t ask for it. With all that said, we don’t currently need all three time slots and open that up for existing groups to make the most of. Please understand that childcare is not a guarantee.
Also, even if we have funds available it doesn’t necessarily mean that DKM has caregivers available during the times we would prefer them. DKM has a mandate to provide two background-checked caregivers per room, even if there is only one child. This is for the children’s safety and liability considerations for the church. Please be patient with all parties involved as childcare is a sensitive area where precautions are taken to ensure the children in our care are as safe as we can make them.
