When do I need to
come on Sundays? |
| |
Our services are at
8:00, 9:30 and 11:00
AM on Sunday
mornings. You will
want to arrive early
to allow yourself
enough time to park,
check in your
children to class
and make it to
service on time! We
would recommend that
you arrive at least
15 minutes before
the service you want
to attend. You will
want to enter
Sagemont at the
front entrance of
the Children’s
Building by the
circular drive.

Where do I go on
Sundays? |
| |
On your first Sunday
at Sagemont Church,
please stop by our
AdventureLand Guest
Information area in
the Children’s Mall,
located in the front
left foyer by the
entrance to the
Children’s Building.
Our staff and
volunteers will be
there to register
your children for
class and to escort
you to the programs
for your children.
They will be
available to assist
you with checking
your child in to
class, and they will
answer any questions
you may have.

|
What will my
child do on Sundays? |
| |
Preschoolers and
children will enjoy
activities
specifically
designed for them on
Sunday mornings.
Preschoolers are
grouped in classes
by age (as of
September 1), and
they enjoy art,
music, recreation
and other activities
centered on a Bible
story and spiritual
truth during each
hour. School-age
children have the
opportunity to
attend both large
group and small
group experiences on
Sundays. Our goal is
for children to have
fun and make friends
while learning about
God.
|
|
Who will
supervise my
children during
service? |
| |
Your children will
enjoy going to class
with our committed
and gifted teachers
at Sagemont! All of
our volunteers
receive training on
working with
children, and they
have been carefully
screened through an
application process
and criminal history
check. In addition,
every room has at
least two teachers
at all times to
ensure that each
child receives good
supervision. Because
we value the safety
of each child, every
classroom and our
common areas are
also equipped with
security cameras.
For your
convenience,
observation rooms
are located between
each set of
preschool
classrooms. You are
welcome to view your
child from these
rooms at any time
while you are at
Sagemont.
|
|
What if my child
needs me during
class? |
| |
If your child
becomes ill or
distressed in class,
we will notify you
so that you can care
for him/her. Parents
of Babies and Ones
are requested to
take a pager that
will alert you if
your child needs
you. We ask that
parents of Babies
and Ones also note
your whereabouts
during each service
on the class
Check-In Form so
that we can locate
you if needed. If
your child has any
special needs, we
request that you
inform us of them on
your visit so that
we can provide the
highest quality care
and ministry to your
child.

|
What is the
Sunday morning
schedule? |
| |
On Sunday mornings,
activities for
children, birth
through Sixth Grade,
are offered at each
service hour. At
8:00 AM, Early Bird
Classes, or Bible
Study classes, are
provided for all
ages. At 9:30 AM,
Kindergarten through
Fourth Grade enjoy
large group worship
services, designed
for their age
groups, and older
students have Bible
Study classes. At
11:00 AM, younger
children enjoy small
group Bible study
classes, and Fifth
and Sixth Graders
attend their own
worship service.
|
|
Are children
welcome in worship? |
| |
Children are always
welcome in worship
at Sagemont Church!
Your child may
attend services in
the Worship Center
with you, if
desired. Families of
very young children
who wish to view the
service, but may
need to leave at
times, are welcome
to view the service
from the gymnasium.
|
|
Can you
accommodate my child
if s/he has special
needs?
|
| |
Sagemont Church has
a place for every
child! We value the
opportunity to
minister to children
with special needs.
Children under six
are encouraged to
attend the programs
offered for all
children. If a child
with special needs
simply needs some
modifications in the
classroom, we will
provide a friend to
work with the
children in our
regular programs.
Children, ages six
and older, who need
a different
environment in which
to play and grow are
invited to attend
PromiseLand! In
PromiseLand, our
children enjoy Bible
stories, art
activities and play
in a special
environment with
loving, gifted
teachers who want to
minister to them.

What security
measures does the
church have to
protect our
children? |
| |
The
safety and security
of children is one
of our highest
priorities at
Sagemont Church. To
ensure that only
parents and other
authorized adults
are allowed to pick
up your children, we
have a security
receipt system for
Babies through
Fourth Grade. On
your first visit,
our hosts will
complete a two-part
receipt for you. One
part is the child’s
“ticket” into class,
and you give it to
the teacher at your
child’s class.
Children in the
Fourth Grade and
younger should be
escorted to class by
a parent. The second
receipt must be
presented to the
teacher in the
classroom after
church to pick up
your child. Only the
parent or individual
with the security
receipt may pick up
the child.
After
your first visit,
you can use our
computerized
Check-In system to
print these
receipts. Using the
touch screens at one
of the Check-In
Stations located
throughout the
Children’s Building,
you will check in
your child(ren), and
three stickers will
print for each
child. One is a name
badge for your child
to wear, the second
is an identical name
badge to serve as
your child’s
“ticket” into class,
and the third is a
security receipt
that you keep and
present at pick up
to retrieve your
child. If a parent
does not have his or
her receipt for pick
up, a staff member
is called. The staff
member will make a
copy of the driver’s
license of the
parent, and s/he
will determine that
the parent is
authorized to pick
up the child. |
