While it is helpful for our volunteers if you register in advance, you are also welcome to register your child when you arrive! We’d recommend parking in the lower level, then walking past the cafe to our THIRD KiDS check-in location, and a volunteer will help you register if you have not already done so.

If you have children, please park in the Lower Level Lot on the north side of the building in one of the First-Time Visitor spots and enter the doors under the awning to find your way to the kids check-in area.

Third Church is committed to providing a safe & secure environment for all children, students and volunteers who participate in ministries and opportunities sponsored by our church. The following policies are part of our Safe Kids program. 

Child Check-In
We use an electronic child check-in system in which each child gets a numbered nametag that is placed on the child. The parents receive a sticker indicating the identification number on the child’s nametag which we use to call parents if needed during a service. The parent is also required to show this sticker in order to pick up their child.

Restroom/Diaper Policy
Our policy asks that only female adults change diapers and take children to the restroom. Each child must be accompanied to the restroom by two volunteers. 

Locked Doors
Doors lock 10 minutes after discipleship begins during services.

Nuts, peanut butter, any products containing nuts, or any food processed with nuts are not permitted in the Third Church kids area. Parents are requested to inform us about all food allergies during registration. Children with a food allergy have this information noted on their nametag.

We perform background checks on everyone over the age of 18 who volunteers with children and students. All volunteers are required to watch a video and sign off in agreement with our Third Church leadership guidelines.

If there is any type of emergency concerning your child or if they need you, we will notify you by putting your child’s number from their nametag up on the screen during the service. In an emergency, you will also receive a text.

The Sensory Room serves families with children who have unique needs and is open during the Sunday 9:15 AM service. Children can also be provided with a one-on-one buddy who will accompany them throughout the morning. If your child has any additional needs, please email us so we can discuss accommodations.
