Child Safety Policies

At Columbia River Foursquare it is our highest priority to keep your kids safe during their time in Columbia Kids. (Matthew 18:5-6)

For that reason we strictly adhere to the following safety policies:

• We open our doors 15 minutes before each service. Until then, parents are asked to supervise their children and not leave them unattended.
• All children are checked in and out using a special number card system. A Columbia Kids staff person will be at the registration table to sign-in and register each child, and explain the procedures.
• This number system may also be used to contact the parents should the child need their assistance.
• An adult is required to pick-up all toddlers and pre-school age children. An older sibling may pick up an elementary age child at the request of the parents.
• Only authorized Columbia Kids staff who have passed a background check and application process are allowed in the classrooms.
• Background checks are renewed every three years.
• Parents may visit a class one time after checking in with the Children’s Pastor, wearing a visitor pass, and following the visitor guidelines.
• All of the Columbia Kids and nursery volunteers are trained workers that are there to teach kids that Jesus loves them, help them have fun, and keep them safe.
