At Idlewild, we believe kids aren’t just the future of the church—they’re a vital part of it today. That’s why we’ve created a safe, Christ-centered environment where children can grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and discover the joy of knowing Jesus.

Sunday Mornings

Safety is our top priority

Every member of our Kids ministry has undergone thorough background checks and training to ensure your child experiences a safe, loving environment where they can grow in their faith. All volunteers are approved by our leadership prior to being trained to serve with children.

When your child visits us, we use a computer check-in system to give him or her a name tag containing important information—your child’s room number, any special allergy alerts, etc. You’ll receive two copies of a matching security tag containing the security number only. This security tag will be used to pick up the child—no child is released without it.

If we need to reach you in the Worship Center, your child’s security code will be displayed in the lower corner of the IMAG screen. For parents attending an adult Bible Fellowship class, your personal cell phone may be called.
