Safety and security is a top priority at West End, and we have established protocols to keep every child safe. When you arrive at church, please check in your child at any of our kiosk locations.

The kiosk will print:

🔘 A name tag for your child.

🔘 A guardian/security tag to pick up your child. You must present your guardian tag at the entrance of all children’s ministry spaces in order to enter the areas. Your guardian tag also includes a unique code that matches your child’s name tag, and our volunteers will confirm these codes match before releasing your child back to you.

All outside doors in the West End Kids elementary areas are locked once service begins and are reopened for pick-up. Entry during times when the doors are locked is limited to children’s ministry volunteers or parents with a security tag only.

When entering through the main doors, stop by the cafe and information counter in our lobby. Volunteers are available to walk you and your children to the children’s ministry areas and to assist you in getting checked-in on your first visit.

Volunteers are available near each check-in kiosk to help first-time guests get registered. You may also walk through the process on your own.

🔘 We will ask a identifying questions such as parent’s name, child’s name, and phone number to add you and your family to our database.

🔘 Once you are in the database, a volunteer will walk you through the check-in process to receive your guardian tag and child name tag.

🔘 After receiving your tags, our volunteers will help you find the correct classroom(s). Once your child is settled, you may proceed to the auditorium for worship.

Your children will be waiting for you in their classroom(s) for you to pick them up after service. You must present your guardian security tag to pick up your children. If you lose your tag, we will ask to see photo ID as well as other identifying questions for your child’s safety and security.
