Welcome to Our New Home! Important Updates for Open Church Kids 🐝 Hub & Hive News

 

Thank you so much to everyone for your patience, grace, and support during our very first Sunday service in our new building! As we settle in, we’ll be making continuous updates to ensure our space works best for our whole church family.

 

Here is everything you need to know about Open Church Kids moving forward:

 

Our Kids Ministry Programs

 

• 🐝 The Hive (Ages 3–6): A fun, nurturing space for our 3- to 6-year-olds.

• 🏢 The Hub (Grades 1–5): Designed specifically for primary school kids in Grades 1–5.

Sunday Check-In & Drop-Off Procedures

To help us keep all children safe, please follow these steps each Sunday:

 

1. Check-In Desk: Sign your child in at the Kids Check-In station. Please attach the new color-coded stickers to your child's name tag if applicable (for allergies, photo permissions, court orders, or behavioral needs).

2. Classroom Drop-Off: Escort your child directly to their room. Both rooms are clearly marked with signs.

Please note: Our official duty of care begins once your child is checked in and personally handed over to a Kids Ministry team member. For everyone's safety, please make sure you personally drop off your child.

 

Parents Room & Watching the Service

 

• Location: Located on the first floor with lift access available—ideal for parents with young babies and prams.

• Live Stream: We are praying and believing live streaming will be up and running in the Parents Room starting this week! You are also welcome to sit in the Parents Room, use the seating outside, or stand on the balcony to watch the service.

• Pram Parking: Please park prams outside the classrooms to keep walkways clear. If your child is asleep in their pram, feel free to sit with them on the balcony. Need a hand? Our ushers are happy to assist!

Kids & Worship

We are currently testing out different ways to include our kids in Sunday worship. Our heart is to help them build a genuine love for worship and church while feeling excited, welcomed, and supported.

 

We ask for your continued patience as we try new things over the coming weeks to find the right flow for our new building. Your feedback and encouragement mean the world to us!

 

Our vision is simple: To make room for one more, creating an environment where our kids feel they belong, can learn about Jesus, and grow alongside the whole church family.
