Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

 

At Columbia River Foursquare Church, we believe every child has a special purpose from God, and a great destiny to fulfill.  For that reason, we consider it a high priority to pass on the baton to this important generation.

Safety Policy for Kids

We strongly believe in keeping your kids safe while they are involved in our programs and classes. All Children’s Ministry and nursery volunteers must go through an application and background check process before they can volunteer in any ministry that involves kids. When you bring your child on Sunday morning, a Children’s Ministry worker will be at the registration table to sign-in and register your child, and to go over our special safety system so that only you are able to pick your child up. All of the Children’s Ministry and nursery volunteers are skilled workers that are there to teach your child that Jesus loves them, to have fun, and to keep them safe.
