Safety & Security

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

  • All volunteers (18+) are background-checked and have gone through a screening/training process.
  • Kids wear security tags to ensure they are released to an authorized adult.
  • If your child needs you during service, volunteers will text you using the classroom iPad.
  • Volunteers are trained in the “3 Person Rule” to ensure they are never alone with an unrelated child.
  • 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.

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:

  • All NH Kids classes learn about 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 the New Testament. There is also a “Point to Jesus” connection in every lesson.
  • Brite* helps make disciples who can say: I believe in Jesus. I’m becoming more like Him. I belong to Him forever.
