Kid-Friendly Sanctuary<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>

Jesus said, “let the little children come to me,” and we think he meant it — so we’ve worked to create a sanctuary space that welcomes children into God’s presence. On the right side of the sanctuary near the piano, we have a children’s play area stocked with Lego\u2122 and other fun toys where kids can hang out during service. Additionally, children’s activity binders with coloring pages, mazes, and other fun activities can be found in the rear of the sanctuary.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Safety<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>

All of our staff and volunteers who work with Children, Youth, and Vulnerable Adults at Northwest Hills UMC are required to pass a background check and complete safety trainings through Safe Gatherings and the Rio Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church<\/a> ensure the well-being of all children in our care. Volunteers are required to recertify their training and complete an new background check every two years.
