Safety & Security

Here are some of the security and safety measures that we implement with New Harvest Kids:

Volunteers do not change diapers or assist children in the bathroom. If your child needs changing or assistance you will receive a text from the classroom iPad.
All volunteers (18+) are background checked and have gone through a screening process
Kids wear security tags to ensure they are released to an authorized adult
If your child needs you during service, volunteers will send a text using the classroom iPad
Volunteers are trained in the “3 Person Rule” to ensure they are never alone with an unrelated child

Curriculum

We use Brite* for our Sunday morning curriculum. Brite* was developed by the Awana organization.

Here are some of the reasons we love this curriculum:

Brite* helps make disciples who can say: I believe in Jesus. I’m becoming more like Him. I belong to Him forever.
All KidMin classes will be on the same story/theme each Sunday. There is also a monthly Family Calendar available to further learning and discussions at home.
With Brite*, kids will learn the full story of the Bible, not just Bible stories. Each passage and person gets connected to God’s Big Story from the Old Testament to New Testament.
There is He-We-Me theology in each lesson to help kids build a framework for how to look at scripture for themselves. They learn to identify what the Bible says about God, what it says to all people and how what they hear applies to their own lives.
Leaders are equipped to help kids form a resilient faith to assist them in navigating tough cultural topics.

You can see a sample of our monthly curriculum calendar here.
