Partnering with Families to Help Children Know and Love Jesus
Welcome! At Atonement, we believe children are a precious gift from God—and we’re passionate about helping them grow in faith from the very beginning of life through 5th grade.
Our Children’s Ministry is designed to support families, equip parents, and introduce children to the life-changing love of Jesus in a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. All staff and volunteers are background-checked, have agreed to our ministry policies, and have completed certified child safety training.
Come see what God is doing in Children’s Ministry at Atonement—where faith is growing, friendships are forming, and Jesus is always at the center.

Parent Equipping
Parents are the best disciple-makers of their children and we seek to come alongside them with support and resources. We provide online resources through a weekly email, give families devotionals to use at home that accompany the Sunday School curriculum and host guest speakers to educate parents on specific topics.

What is Atonement's wellness policy?
While we love having your kids with us, please come to church programs only when you are healthy and feeling well.
Please do not bring your child if they have had any of the following symptoms in the past 24 hours:
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Congestion or a runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Communicable rash
What are the check-in and pick-up procedures?
To ensure every child is safely cared for, we use an electronic check-in system.
Check-in:
- Visit the check-in center and use the laptop to check your child into the correct program(s).
- If your child will be in the nursery for both worship and Sunday School, please check in for both.
- Print the label and place your child’s name tag on the back of their clothing.
- Keep the parent pickup tag—you’ll need it when you return.
First-time families:
Please leave a cell phone number with nursery volunteers so they can text you if needed. Share any important notes (diapering, snacks, allergies, naps, etc.).
Pick-up:
- Present your pickup tag to a volunteer.
- A volunteer will match the code on your tag to your child’s name tag.
- Only adults with the pickup tag may pick up a child—please do not send older siblings.
Where is the nursing mothers' room?
A private, quiet room is located next to the infant nursery for mothers who need to feed their babies.
This room includes:
- A TV with a livestream of the worship service
- Cribs for babies who need to nap
Please use the check-in system to print your label and let nursery volunteers know you are using the Nursing Mothers’ Room.
Where are diaper changing stations?
Diaper changing stations are available in:
- Infant Nursery
- Nursing Mothers’ Room
- Pre-K Nursery
A drop-down changing table is also available in the single-use bathroom across from the Chapel. Our female volunteers are happy to change your child’s diaper unless you indicate you would prefer to be contacted for diaper changes.
