Nursery Worker Commitment Letter - September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026

Belief Statement

God created humanity to be in loving relationship with Him, ultimately through a Savior.
God’s Word, the Bible, guides people to Himself and is the final standard of Truth.
God has a good and sovereign plan encompassing all events, people, and spiritual beings.
God regards all people as disobedient, rebellious, separated from Him, and needing His forgiveness.
God’s Son, Jesus, came to earth, was fully God and fully Man, lived perfectly, died on a cross, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven.
God the Son will come again to bring the end of this world and eternal judgment.
God’s Son died to accomplish the forgiveness of sin and rose from the dead to accomplish the infilling of new life, applied by faith.
God rescues people from death into life based on His initiative and grace.
God’s Spirit fills all who believe with daily strength, spiritual gifts, and enduring faith.
God intends for His Church to gather for worship, maintain purity, and spread the Gospel.
God has given Baptism and the Lord’s Supper to express a believer’s union with Christ and spiritual transformation.
God values the family unit and organizes His Church to reflect this model, both relationally and structurally.
God designs and equips all Christians for ministry and some to lead in the Church as elders and deacons.

Children’s Ministry Purpose Statement:

The Sunday morning children's classes at Living Hope Church serve as a resource to parents in raising-up children with a grasp of the truth and relevance of God's Word, so they might grow into young adults with an active relationship with Christ. This will be accomplished through 1) a classroom atmosphere that is orderly, engaging, and fun; 2) lessons that are biblical, Christ-centered, and application-oriented; and 3) teachers that are committed, equipped, and excited.

Children’s Ministry Responsibilities

Nursery Workers

Arrive in the nursery by 9:45 am. Check to make sure the room is prepared and ready to receive children.
Ensure that parents sign-in their children using the check-in system and have a retrieval sticker to pick up their child(ren) after service. Be sure that a nametag is on the child’s back and a name clip is attached to their bag.
Review the class roster, parents’ emergency contact details and special instructions before parents leave.
Do your best to handle “needy” children on your own. When necessary, please text the parent using the check-ins system.
Make sure any diaper changes are completed in view of another Nursery Worker.
Lead the children to participate in age-appropriate bible songs and/activities.
Children should be dismissed only to a parent or caregiver with a retrieval sticker that corresponds to the child’s security sticker.
Cleanup: Before you leave, make sure all toys put in the mouth, tables, and supplies are wiped down with sanitizer wipes and put away. Sweep-up any crumbs, and wipe-up any spills. Deposit soiled diapers in the large trash can in the hallway. Push the cart back to the supply closet in the old gym.
Relay any concerns from the morning regarding individual children, or the overall program to the Team Leader, Children’s Ministry Deacon or Children’s Director.
