SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
At Word Of Life we operate a
complex and lively Children’s Ministry
– Your children matter to us and we want to do our best to minister to them.
– We have age-appropriate ministry at every level.
– Each one of our workers have been a member of WOL for at least 6 months, have completed our School of Leaders course, and have gone through a rigorous application and background check.
– For the safety of your children and our staff, there are at least 2 adult workers in each nursery or classroom at all times.
– Children are signed-in at the Welcome Center and receive a number and instructions for that service. If there are any issues with your child, we will immediately contact you and call you out of the sanctuary so that you can help us.
Get your Kids involved!
