Preschool:

Our volunteer staff loves preschoolers and we are excited to have the privilege of ministering to your children in the name of the Lord!

We know that preschoolers are active and love to have fun, so we have developed a ministry that allows children with different learning styles to experience God’s love in ways they can understand.

We pray your preschoolers will love Jesus and others more because of their time with us!

Elementary:

Every child is made different and we seek to reach children according to their learning style. We hope the relationships your children form with peers and teachers encourage them to grow in godliness.

We have lots of fun here as we follow Jesus and we want your children to have fun, too, as they follow us following the Lord!

Safety

Our concern for the safety of all the children in our ministry flows from the love Christ has placed in our hearts for all people. Please feel free to contact Pastor Phil Leineweber at PLeineweber@bereanfamily.com with any concerns or questions.

Creating a safe environment requires three steps: Screening, Supervision and Reporting.

These steps are laid out in our Guidelines for Berean Baptist Church Children’s Ministry Volunteers. Copies are available upon request.

• Supervision: There are two adults in every room. An adult “Hall Guardian” patrols the children’s ministry area. There are windows in all the doors. Men are not allowed to change diapers or enter the bathrooms.
• Screening: All the volunteers in direct contact with children have had a background check, filled out applications and reference checks. They must attend Berean for 6 months before they can volunteer.
• Reporting: Volunteers are trained in how to report signs of abuse.
