eKidz

All staff & volunteers working with minors are required to be members of Emmanuel Baptist Church and complete Emmanuel's Ministry Safety Steps.  The ministry safety steps include a written application, references, background check, and video training on our Child Protection Policy and Procedures.

Kids are electronically checked in and receive a name tag, and parents get a corresponding security tag. A parent or guardian must drop their kids off. After the service, kids will only be released to the individual who has the correct security tag.  Parents of babies to preschoolers also receive a buzzer that allows the teachers to call parents if needed.

The children's wing has one entrance, and a security team member present at that point. The classrooms are in a hallway, and each one has windows that allow you to see inside the class.  Once the main service begins, the main entrance doors to the EKidz wing are closed, and only parents picking children up can enter.

The check in process allows parents to alert children's ministry volunteers to any significant allergy or medical need or concern.

Every classroom will always have at minimum two adult, child ministry certified volunteers present.

A member of the security team is present during check in and check out, and during the service, they do walk-throughs of the EKidz wing.
