How does someone volunteer for children’s ministry?
Each children's ministry volunteer is a faithful member of new Heights Baptist church, who has made a commitment to distinctive Christian living; and has been observed, interviewed by the pastor, and screened prior to being placed in a classroom or nursery. Volunteers receive regular training.

Will my kids be safe and secure?
Below are a few policies and procedures, followed by our volunteer team, which we trust will put you at ease:

1. We require parental identification cards for adults who pick up young children from a nursery.
2. There are always at least two, and usually more, approved volunteers in every classroom setting.
3. No child is ever allowed out of the line-of-sight of a volunteer.
4. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to work with children.

When can a child experience a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?
This varies with each individual child, depending upon background and learning experience. When a child expresses a desire to accept Christ as Saviour, a trained children’s counselor thoroughly explains what the Bible says about salvation.

When can a child be baptized?
When a child has accepted Christ as Saviour, they and their parents may speak with the pastor, who can arrange for their baptism. While age is not the determining factor, children are eligible to be baptized if they have already accepted Christ. Signed parental permission is always required for a child to be baptized.

What about dedicating my baby to Christ?
Babies are definitely a gift from God! Baby dedication is a time for parents, who are members of new Heights Baptist church, to show to the Lord and to the church family that they are dedicating themselves to raising their new child for God. This event does not have a part in a child’s salvation, but is a meaningful memory for parents and children.

Are the children’s volunteers trained in mandatory reporting procedures?
Our leaders are periodically trained for the purpose of reporting suspected child abuse.
