Children's Ministries
Nursery
We provide childcare for well children during our worship service for children ages 8 weeks to 4 years old. Parents may check children in at the door of their nursery rooms.
In addition to professional nursery workers, our nursery staff is comprised of 6 - 8 volunteers from different community groups each week. This is one practical way that RMC members help to support our weekly worship. Volunteers should arrive fifteen minutes before the service begins and check-in with the coordinator at the infant nursery room. Please check the schedule, which can be found in the latest bulletin, to see when your community group is scheduled to volunteer.
We appreciate the opportunity to care for your children as you participate in the worship service. Our goal is to offer a safe and happy environment during this time. Our nursery workers have ample child-care experience and will treat your children with kindness and respect. We want the nursery environment to be as clean and safe for your child as possible. Toys are cleaned each week. Nursery workers wear gloves when changing diapers and employ good hygiene practices.
RMC has a well-child-only policy in the nursery. If your child has exhibited the following symptoms within the past 24 hours, we ask you not to bring him or her to the nursery: fever of 100˚F or above, diarrhea, vomiting, cold/flu-like symptoms, runny nose, throat or ear infection, red/watery eyes, any unexplained rash, or any other infectious diseases. We will remove your child from the nursery if he or she exhibits any of these symptoms.
Children's Church
Red Mountain Church hopes to focus on two characteristics of God's Word: respect and responsibility. First, because the Bible alone reveals how we are to be saved, there is a profound respect for the holiness of the Scriptures (Romans 15:4). We own the responsibility to obey and cherish the Scriptures. We hope to communicate this reverence to children and to see them come to cherish it for themselves (2 Timothy 3:14-15). Secondly, we respect what the Scriptures teach us about God, each other, and how this relates to children. If we are all made in God's image, then there is a responsibility to treat children with respect and humility (Ephesians 6:4). We are called to teach them in ways that are God-centered and appropriate to their developmental abilities. Also, we believe that it calls adults to have the humility to learn from children. We hope to view, interact with, and guide children as contributing parts of our community.
You can read the entire statement on what we believe with regard to children by downloading the PDF found at the bottom of this page.
Children's church takes place during the worship service. Children are dismissed from worship to meet their teachers at the back of the sanctuary by the doughnut table. We use Beulah Land and an adapted Godly Play curriculum and focus on creating an atmosphere of reverent worship and loving community. Children should be picked up from their Godly Play rooms by their parents or siblings ages 13 or older.
