Parent responsibilites

*Parent Responsibilities and Expectations
Serving:
All families that are members of Bethany Covenant Church are expected to be part of our cooperative program. Please see attached form “Children’s Ministry Programs” for more details.

If you have a child(ren) participating in more than one program, you will be expected to serve in more than one program.

All volunteers working with children are expected to complete necessary paperwork for a background check. We will provide this to you if you are new or your previous paperwork is more than 5 years old.

If you cannot serve at this time or should not be around children, please speak confidentially with Kelly Tibbitts.

Supporting:
 Express interest in your child’s class! Your child will come home with papers and crafts relating to the Bible lesson they just learned. This is material for you to see what they are learning and to use it in discussion and application throughout the week.

 Express appreciation to your child’s volunteer teachers! All teachers spend time throughout the week preparing for Sunday morning and weekly events. They love to serve; however, it’s nice to receive recognition as well.

Communicating:
 Please keep open communication with Kelly Tibbitts! Just like at school, there are personal family or developmental issues that may affect your child at church. We want to be able to provide the most appropriate environment and support for your child. If you also have any concerns, ideas, etc. about Children’s Ministry please let Kelly know.
