WHAT TO EXPECT WITH YOUR FIRST VISIT

What to Expect

Our volunteers will greet and direct you to the First Time Guest Check-In area. We want to serve you and your child well, so we’ll ask about allergies, make sure we know what your child likes to be called, and collect your contact information. ‍

You and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code that changes each time a child checks in. This sticker is what you’ll use to pick-up your child with the matching security code after worship.

WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR?

What to Wear

Play clothes are always welcome! CrestKids is a fun, active environment. Your kids will be playing, singing and dancing as they learn about Jesus in small groups and large groups.

THE RIDE HOME

The Ride Home

We encourage parents to keep the conversation going on the car ride home. Ask your child these two questions:
- Did you have fun?
- What did you learn?
Our goal is to have a positive answer to both of those questions each week.

What do we value?

Creative Bible Teaching

The Bible is the most amazing book ever written! We bring Bible stories to life through activities and conversations that keep children engaged. We want all children to love God’s Word and understand its value in their lives.

Relationships

We want kids to know there are people at church who care about them. As families commit to attending the same service each week, children are placed in a small group of familiar faces where relationships can grow.

Age Appropriateness

Everything from our environments, to the language we use in our lessons, to our small group materials are created with your child’s age and stage in mind.

Safety

We take lots of steps before kids arrive to keep them safe. Every toy and environment gets cleaned and sanitized. And, every volunteer is screened with an interview and federal background check. Our whole team — from staff members to small group leaders to safety personnel — are trained to keep your kids safe.

Fun

Kids love fun! We create fun ways for children to learn about Jesus, including games, activities, singing, and live acting. When children have fun at church, they can’t wait to come back.

Mother's Morning Out

SouthCrest Mother’s Morning Out is offered to all families with children ages 6 weeks to 4 years old. Our classes meet year-round on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am–1pm. Our calendar typically follows the Coweta County School calendar during the school year and has occasional breaks during the summer.
