Frequently Asked Questions

What does the check in process look like?

Orchard Kids has a registration process for first time attendees. When you arrive, there will be staff members at the Kids Ministry counter to help your family get registered. Once you have registered, you will be able to check in at the iPads by the Kids Ministry counter. Your child will receive a name tag and you will get a parent tag that has a four digit number connected to your child. If the number that matches your child flashes on the screen during the service, a staff member will meet you at the Kids Ministry counter to assist you and your family.

What does my child need with them?

Preschool or elementary students do not need to bring anything with them. If your child is in the nursery, feel free to leave the diaper bag with them with specific items they may need during the service. You will receive a printed bag tag to label your child’s bag.

We always have diapers, wipes, extra clothes, and other needs on hand!

Are there any resources available to help make a connection between Sunday mornings and home?

Orchard Hill Church uses a curriculum called Orange. Orange is a curriculum that helps kids and families develop their faith. The curriculum is designed to address the needs of each child's phase of life. We encourage you to download the Parent Cue App to make connections from Sunday morning to your home! This is a free app that is connected to Orchard Hill Church and aligns with the monthly themes and memory verse that your child will be learning about in their classrooms on Sunday mornings.
