God loves me.
Jesus wants to be my friend forever.

The Reef
(1st - 4th Grade)

The Reef is offered during the 11:00 am worship service.
In our elementary environment, we want our kids to learn 3 Basic Truths:
  • I need to make the wise choice
  • I can trust God no matter what
  • I should treat others how I want to be treated
In the Reef, our 1st-4th graders participate in relational time, worship, Bible teaching, and then go into small group times that mirror our Community Groups at Coastal. They have consistent small group leaders each week who love and invest in them and are committed to helping them know and follow Jesus.

Check In & Dismissal

CHECK IN
Coastal Kids check-in opens 15 minutes before services begin. Check-In is the place for new families to register and for regular attenders to pick up weekly tags. Children wear a tag with their name and parents' phone number and parents receive a tag with their children’s unique check-in code. Please notify a Check-In team member and your child’s teacher if your child has any allergies we should know about. Our Check-In team is always available to answer any questions you might have.

DROP OFF
Parents can meet Coastal Kids volunteers at the doorway of each classroom to drop off their children. Please ensure your mobile phone is set to vibrate when attending the main service so that the Coastal Kids team can contact you should the need arise.

DISMISSAL
Please pick up your children personally and promptly after the service with your matching parent tag. For the safety of all Coastal Kids, please show the tag to the teacher at the entrance of their classroom. Only parents or guardians with a matching parent tag will be allowed to check-out children.

SAFETY
Coastal Kids is led by caring adult and teen volunteers who have been trained and background-checked by the Children's Ministry staff. You'll never have to worry about your kids' safety and, after a few visits, they'll be begging to attend church on Sundays.

If We Need You...

Should the need arise for your assistance with your child during the service, a Coastal Kids volunteer will first attempt to reach you via text message. If we don’t receive a reply within a few minutes, the unique number on your parent name tag will display on the screen in the worship room. A Coastal Kids volunteer will meet you at the Coastal Kids Check-In area to discuss your child’s needs.
