About Us
TMC Kids is the children’s ministries at The Moody Church. Our mission is to partner with parents and caregivers to raise children who know, love and serve Jesus. It is our goal to introduce children, birth through the 6th grade, to the life-changing message of the Gospel and provide opportunities to grow, connect and reach out to others.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I check in my child?
If you’re a visitor, we look forward to meeting you at our Welcome Kiosks on the second floor. Our friendly staff will help you register your children and direct you to the appropriate rooms. If you plan to attend regularly and would like to receive permanent security tags for your child, please register online or turn in a completed registration form. Please contact Rochelle with any questions about your child’s registration.
What do you do with my information?
We only use the information to get to know your family better. We are able to identify allergies, special needs & birthdays, send you updated ministry information and keep our records accurate. It is never shared with outside individuals or organizations.
What if my child has been sick?
We ask that children who have a fever or show symptoms of any contagious disease within the last 24 hours not be brought to TMC Kids. For further information, please see our Parent Handbook.
How will you reach me if my child is in need?
In the event that our staff needs to reach you, your child’s security number will appear on the visual paging display located in the front of the sanctuary and throughout the building. If you are volunteering in another classroom or ministry, please let your child’s teachers know so we can contact you there.
Does my child have snack time?
We seek to provide safe and suitable snacks for children excluding any peanut products. If your child has allergies or dietary restrictions, please be sure to notify the classroom leader and record it on your child’s registration form for our reference.
What happens in the event of an emergency?
The TMC Kids Team has been trained to respond to most emergency situations. Medical professionals are also usually on call each Sunday. If an evacuation is necessary, your child will be escorted calmly and safely by our team out the nearest exit and assemble in the park just north of the Chicago History Museum. Parents, please pick up your child at that location.
What kind of security check is used for volunteers?
Screening for volunteers requires church membership or active involvement for one year and a pastoral reference, a comprehensive application, background check and additional references. Also, each team member is personally interviewed by members of our Executive Committee and Children’s Ministries staff.
Do you have a Special Needs Ministry?
Our Special Needs families are very important to us and we want to serve you as best as we can. We are currently able to offer a “buddy” program for children who are able to participate in our regular ministries with a little assistance. Please contact Amanda Shih for more information.
