Our doors open 20 minutes prior to each service, so that kids can come in and get settled before the service, giving you a chance to do the same.

Doors will be closed 20 minutes after the service begins.

• We would like to do everything we can to make your first time check-in at Port City Kids a great experience. Before you attend for the first time, simply fill out our pre-registration form below for your campus. When you arrive, let us know at the check-in desk that you pre-registered and you are a first time visitor and our host team will assist you. We encourage you to come a little early on your first Sunday!

  • Pre-registration Forms submitted on Sunday may not be processed until the following Sunday!

• We are “allergy-friendly” and provide gluten-free Cheerios and water at snack time. No outside food is allowed. If your child has an allergy, let the GZ staff know upon check-in.

• All of our toys and hard surfaces get cleaned between services with organic, nontoxic all-purpose cleaner. 

• We adhere to a Well-Child policy that requires children to be free of fever for 24 hours before entering Grow Zone.

• Our Safety Team ensures that no one gets into Grow Zone who shouldn’t be there.

• Every classroom has designated ratios and maximum capacities to ensure quality of care.

• All of our volunteers are Background Checked and Safety Trained.

• No volunteer is ever alone with a child.

• It is a Safety Policy of children’s ministry that all children have a current Photo Release Form on file. Parents have the option to either “opt in” or “opt out” of the Photo Release. If you have further questions, please contact a staff member.

• We offer age appropriate curriculum for children aged two and older.

• We know that when children have fun at church, they can’t wait to come back! We value creating fun ways for children to learn about Jesus through games, crafts, storytelling, and music.

• A calm, quiet space for moms to watch the service while being able to meet the needs of
  their babies.
