Sunday School

First Hour  //  9:00-10:15

While parents attend their own Grow Class, Kids will learn their own Bible lesson during first hour. Check in your child using our KidCheck system at the KidZone desk. Nursery class is always open for ages 0-2 in Room 180. Check out the room assignments for your child:

Preschool
Ages 3-4  ∙  Room 174

Second Hour Kids

Second Hour  //   Released prior to the Sermon

Childcare is available during second service during the sermon to kids ages 3 through 2nd grade.

Parents, you will check your child in prior to service (feel free to use either KidCheck kiosk, upstairs or downstairs) and they will be dismissed at the beginning of announcements. A parent/guardian will accompany the child to childcare “line” outside the doors of the Worship Center and check-in the child using the sheet provided by the childcare volunteer. (Note: If your child has been to Sunday school and still has their KidCheck name tag, no need to check them in but just have them join the line). During their time in our Second Hour Kids program, your child will be taught a brief catechism lesson based on the New City Catechism.

The Nursery is open for the duration of the entire second service for kids aged 0-2 in Room 180.

Preschool
Ages 3-4  ∙  Room 174

Lower Elementary
Kindergarten – 2nd Grade  ∙  Room 178

AWANA will abide by the current Faith Church COVID-19 Building Policies and Procedures which outline Faith’s COVID cleaning procedures, COVID sickness and post-sickness re-entry policy, social distancing requirements, mask requirements and a health screening protocol. These guidelines can be viewed on the Faith Church website: faithchurchindy.com/faith-news/. This information is fluid and may change throughout the year. Always refer to the Faith Church website for up-to-date information. AWANA will also alert you to changes in these policies as the year progresses. Currently, kids are not required to wear masks or socially distance but maintain smaller groupings throughout programing for contract tracing purposes (if needed).

In addition to these policies, here are a few more changes specific to conducting AWANA in the current environment:

• AWANA is in-person with no virtual option this year.
• AWANA will return to our full time slot- 6:30-8:00pm.
• All pick up at the end of the night will happen from classroom doors (no car line pickup).
• All kids will continue to use a special AWANA bag to keep and transport individual materials (handbooks/bibles/writing utensils, etc).
• GAMES and SNACKS (individually packaged) are back!

Additional Details

∙  All kids will be given a special AWANA bag to keep and transport materials (handbooks/bibles/writing utensils, etc). Kids will be issued pens or crayons at the start of the year to keep in the bags for weekly use to decrease the sharing of resources. Kids will used these bags from Cubbies through T&T.

∙  If your child lost their AWANA bag, writing utensils or AWANA vest/shirt, families will be asked to pay a replacement fee for those items. Each clubber will be issued their first set of material needed as they progress through the program. If those originally issued items need to be replaced or if your child out grows T&T shirt, a replacement fee will be charged. The fees are: $15 per handbook vest or handbook, $10 per T&T shirt, $7 per AWANA bag and $1 per Coloring Kit for Cubbies/Sparks or Sparks Coloring Book (*Sparks will be issued a new coloring book at the start of each school year).
