Frequently Asked Questions - UpStreet

What happens in UpStreet?

Every Sunday we plan a full hour for your kids to learn truths about God that includes:  a time of worship, Bible Story, and small group time! We want UpStreet to be a safe community of people where your kids can discover, develop, and deepen a relationship with Jesus.

What is small group?

Your child will be placed in a small group with caring leaders and other kids their age. This small group is designed to allow further discussion on their learning level. While in small group, your kids will make crafts, play games, and connect with other kids their age. 

What is large group?

Large Group is a fun and engaging time where all children K-5th grades come together for games, singing, and a teaching from the Bible. 

How do I register my child?

When you arrive, a team of helpful volunteers will greet you at our check-in desk in the preschool hallway. If it's your first time, a volunteer will help you register your child, introduce you to the check-in process, and guide you to the proper room.

How can I be sure my child is safe?

Your child will receive a special numbered name tag that matches a corresponding parent tag. Your parent tag will allow you access to the UpStreet hallway and is matched with your child’s name tag to ensure safety. You don’t have to wear them, just keep them close and available! Additionally, all  UpStreet volunteers are carefully trained and background checked before serving in your child’s classroom.

What if you need to contact me during the service?

If we need to contact you for any reason, we will first try texting the parent(s) on file. If we receive no response from the text we will display “UpStreet” and your parent security number on the auditorium screens.

What about allergies or special needs?

Please notify us of ANY and ALL allergies, medical and/or behavioral special needs on the space provided on the guest registration form. Allergies will be placed on your child’s printed name tag, but please also notify the small group leader.

For children with medical or behavioral needs, it is best to contact our Children’s Director before attending to hear how UpStreet can partner with you. While our elementary “Sensory Room” (Shine Room) is currently at capacity, we would love to hear from you so that we can work to accommodate your needs as we have availability.
