Children's Ministry in Barrington

Shaping the lives of children as they grow in their understanding of who God is and what He’s doing in the world!

We've created a safe and caring environment for your children. Every volunteer is screened and our secure children’s area is limited to children, their families, and approved volunteers. And as your children experience various milestones, it's our joy to celebrate them through child dedications, kindergarten Bible presentations, and 5th grade graduation. 


If you and your children are joining us in person, please stop by our Welcome Center. We’d love to meet you and answer any questions you might have about Orchard Kids.

UPCOMING Events

Child Dedication

We celebrate when believing parents make a commitment to teach, train, and model godliness to a child - making a public pledge before God and our church family. Please complete a Child Dedication Request Form if you would like your child to be dedicated.


Child Dedication usually takes place twice a year. One of the child's parents must be a member in order for their child to be dedicated at The Orchard.

FAQs

ROBIN PRICE, Director of Children's Ministries

  • WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS SPECIAL NEEDS?

    We welcome children with all types of special needs and offer to provide a "buddy" for them so parents can attend church. We would love to meet your child to determine how we can support them in the best way possible. Additionally, SNaP'N (Special Needs Parent Network) meets the second Monday of each month September - May, 6:30-8 p.m., in Room 110. Parents of children/adults with special needs gather for a time in God's Word, prayer, and occasional outside speakers. Volunteer caregivers are provided for all children/adults with special needs and their siblings.

  • WHAT SECURITY DO YOU HAVE?

    As you come to The Orchard, be assured that your children's safety is a priority. All volunteers are background checked, screened, and trained. Before entering Orchard Kids, parents are required to check in at one of our kiosks to receive a child check-in nametag, a classroom ticket to give to their teacher, and a matching adult pick-up nametag. Guests can obtain a temporary wristband at our Orchard Kids Welcome Desk.

  • HOW DO I KNOW WHICH CLASSROOM MY CHILD SHOULD JOIN?

    We use the same system as the local public schools to determine which classroom is the most appropriate for your child—with a September 1 cut-off date. 

  • WHAT IF MY CHILD NEEDS ME DURING THE WORSHIP SERVICE?

    If we need to get in touch with you during the service, we will send a text to the phone number you used for check-in, with your child’s room number.

  • WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS ALLERGIES?

    If your child has a severe food allergy, please let us know when you sign in or on the registration card so we are aware of the specific allergy and its severity. Additionally, we try to stay away from serving nuts and other common food allergens.

  • DO YOU ALLOW KIDS TO COME TO THE WORSHIP SERVICES?

    Yes, we encourage families to worship together! It’s okay if your kids are a little squirmy.

  • HOW DO I PICK UP MY CHILD FROM ORCHARD KIDS?

    Whether you are here for the first time or have attended for years, all parents are asked to show their child’s ticket (given at check in) when picking up children, infants to second grade. Third through fifth grade are allowed to leave their classrooms upon dismissal, so please set up a family meeting spot.
