Nursery
Our nursery welcomes babies aged 6-24 months. Our trained staff take turns serving 1-2 times per month. Our adult and high school volunteers must all fill-out a volunteer application, be trained and pass a background check. Our toys are washed on a regular basis and we keep a supply of sippy cups, cheerio snacks, baby food, changes of clothes, and different sized diapers on hand, but always appreciate when parents leave a diaper bag with their child’s specific needs. Our toys and supplies are age-appropriate and safe.
To check in, all parents are required to sign their child in and out and take a call # tag. If we should need you during the worship gathering we put your call # up on the screen so that you can return and assist your child. You must also bring your call number back when you pick up your child.Toddlers

FAQs
Who is on the leadership team?
Where are the rooms?
Feel free to bring your kids into the worship center, but we also have these rooms ready for great teaching & worship with your children.
What will my child be doing in Sunday School?
All children are welcomed by our trained and skilled volunteers. After a time to play in the room, children will be engaged in prayer, worship, Bible teaching and various fun activities and games to reinforce the teaching. Children will learn about events from the Bible and the many things God has done to reveal His love and plan for each person. We use video & live teaching and illustrated books or demonstrations to share truth from God’s Word, the Bible.
How large are your class sizes? How many teachers lead each group?
We have 2 teachers/helpers for each age group. Our High School and Jr. High students also like to come in and help the adult leaders. The average class sizes are as follows: Nursery (1-6 babies), Toddlers (4-10 children), Preschool (4-12 children), lower elementary (8-16 children), upper elementary (10-15 children). Our class sizes allow our volunteers to give each child individual attention and care.
How are volunteers chosen to serve in kid’s ministry?
All children’s ministry workers are committed GateWay attendees who have either been asked to serve or who have volunteered to serve. All volunteers are run through a Megan’s Law background check and are asked to fill out a volunteer form (which includes personal references and other background screening information). All volunteers are trained and most serve once per month or more.
