In an effort to make the kids’ ministry check-in and check-out system faster and more secure, we are implementing a new system on Sunday, May 9th.

We want to help parents make the transition as smooth as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Parents need to fill out a one-time registration form for their kids.  Forms will be available at the Link and at the kids’ ministry registration table at the top of the stairs.
2. Your family will be issued a permanent number when you register.  *If you have already filled out a registration form, you will receive your permanent # with an instruction card at your child’s classroom.  This will happen only one time to kick-off our new system.
3. No more keychains and bracelets to keep track of!  Instead, we’ll use invisible ink to write your number on your hand and your child’s hand.
4. At check-out, teachers will verify your number matches your child’s number using a special light. After the quick verification, you’ll be on your way.

Because we’ll have all your information on file, there will no longer be anything to fill out at the classroom when you check-in.  We hope this helps speed your process on Sunday mornings.  If any of your information changes, please fill out a new registration from so we can update our records.

Thanks so much for working with us as we make these changes and try to make this transition as smooth as possible.  If you have any questions, please talk to someone wearing a Vineyard Kids’ T-shirt or someone at the Link or Kids’ Registration table.
