We provide a safe, fun, age-appropriate environment for children from birth through 4 years of age during the 9am worship service. It is our desire to partner with you in discipling your children throughout the week by using curriculum that can facilitate discussions at home between Sundays. In Little Reformers, children learn the big picture of God’s redemptive story and his never-ending and never-giving-up love for them in Jesus. Your kids will play, sing songs, eat a snack, create crafts, have a blast, and be discipled!
LITTLE Reformers IS:
Intentional
Our primary goal in Little Reformers is to make disciples. We don’t want to merely babysit our children during Sunday Worship. Instead, we intentionally utilize and develop lessons that are age appropriate and strive to teach our children who Jesus is and what he has done for them in the gospel.
SAFE
The safety of our little ones is our top concern. Every volunteer that serves in Little Reformers is background-checked, approved by LR Leadership, and undergoes MinistrySafe training to guard against any potential dangers to our children. We also have high-definition security cameras in every room that clearly record all activities to ensure your child's safety.
Fun
It is our desire to utilize imaginative, creative, and fun ways to teach the gospel to our children. In order to accomplish this, we strive to use activities and lessons that reinforce biblical teaching in a way that is relevant and motivating for our children so they are encouraged to learn.
LITTLE Reformers FAQs
When you arrive at church, we will have a Little Reformers check-in desk available. Here you will register your child and print out two labels. One will stick to your child's shirt, and you will keep the other as a receipt. This will allow you to pick up your child at the end of the service. If you have any trouble, any of our staff or volunteers can help you at the desk.
We realize that trusting us with your child is a big step, so safety and security are a top priority in Little Reformers. Your kids are being supervised and taught by Reformation Baptist Church volunteers. All volunteers have a desire to serve with enthusiasm while providing a safe environment. All Little Reformers workers have been carefully screened, pass a background check, and complete training.
A typical Sunday consists of four parts: Worship: Children have the opportunity to sing to the glory of Jesus. Here, our volunteers teach our kids what it means to worship Jesus and encourage one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Eph. 5:19). Lesson: Every week the children have a story time based on a passage of the Bible. It is our goal to help your child see how Jesus is represented in all of the Bible, even in the Old Testament. We use this time to teach truth from the Bible that kids can immediately share with Mom and Dad on the way home. Snack (Toddlers Only): Each week, Toddlers have a short time to eat a snack. Please see “Will My Kids Eat Anything?” below for more information. Craft/Activity: Kids will create a craft or activity that corresponds with the Bible lesson. We want to help children express their creativity and imagination. Hands-on crafts, acting out the story, and engaging in object lessons provide a unique time where kids can interact and see the Bible lesson from another angle.
When you register your child, you include your cell phone number. In the case of an emergency, a message will be sent directly to your phone notifying you help is needed. A Little Reformers volunteer will meet you at the Check-in Station with further instructions.
Every week, kids in the Movers, 2 Year, and 3-4 Year classrooms have the opportunity to enjoy a light snack that accomodates a variety of allergies and food sensitivities. If a special snack is being offered in your child’s class, teachers will get approval from parents during drop-off. Babies in the nursery are not given a snack, unless provided by the parents with instructions to feed them. **If your child has a food allergy and that was not included on their name tag during the check-in process, please notify a Little Reformers worker immediately.
Pick up your children in the same room(s) where you dropped them off. You must show the receipt (that was printed at check-in) in order to pick up your child.
