Family

Welcome to Branch Church! If you are visiting with children or students from 6 months through 12th grade, we invite you to pre-register for our family programs to help us provide a warm, seamless experience for your entire family. Whether joining us for BranchKids on Sunday mornings or our youth group during the week, we look forward to helping your family follow Jesus day by day.

Welcome!

We’re so glad you’re considering visiting with your family. We know trying a new church can feel like a big step, so here are answers to some of the most common questions parents ask.

Safety & Security

How do you keep kids safe?

Your child’s safety is our top priority. All volunteers complete background checks and receive training before serving.

What is your check-in/check-out process?

We use a secure check-in system where you and your child receive matching tags. Only an authorized adult with the matching tag can pick up your child.

Programs & Age Groups

What programs do you offer?

We provide age-appropriate environments for nursery, preschool, elementary, and student ministries.

How are kids grouped?

Children are typically grouped by age or grade to ensure teaching is relevant and engaging.

Are programs available outside Sunday?

Yes! We offer various midweek and special events throughout the year for different age groups.

Curriculum & Teaching

What will my child be learning?

Our curriculum is Bible-based, engaging, and designed to help kids understand and apply faith in their everyday lives.

Is it fun or more structured?

Both! We combine teaching, activities, music, and small group time to create a balanced experience.

Volunteers & Staff

Who will be caring for my child?

Our team consists of trained, background-checked volunteers who love working with kids.

What is the adult-to-child ratio?

We maintain appropriate ratios to ensure safety, attention, and quality care in every room.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

What does a typical kids’ service look like?

Kids enjoy a mix of games, music, Bible teaching, and small group interaction.

Can I stay with my child?

Absolutely. You’re welcome to stay until your child feels comfortable.

What if my child is nervous or upset?

Our team will gently care for them, and we’ll contact you if needed.

Inclusion & Special Needs

Do you support children with special needs?

Yes, we strive to create an inclusive environment and will work with you to best support your child.

What about allergies or medical needs?

Please let us know during check-in so we can ensure proper care and precautions.

Family Connection

Do families ever worship together?

Yes! We value family worship and offer opportunities for families to attend services together.

How can I stay informed?

We provide regular weekly email updates.

Logistics

Where do I go when I arrive?

The children’s ministry is located in our Activities Building. The building is nestled north of the parking lot.

How early should we arrive?

We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early for your first visit.
