"Whoever welcomes one of these
little ones in My name welcomes Me." - Jesus
Mark 9:37 NIV
Welcome Parents!
We thank God for the vision He has given us for this ministry
and the Nursery facilities that He has provided for children.
While in our care, we will faithfully minister to their physical
and spiritual needs.
We believe that it is possible to share the love of Christ with
a child from the day of his/her birth. Every time your child is
in our nursery, we will tenderly and consistently demonstrate
and communicate Christ’s love.
We want your little one to feel that being in church is a happy
experience. Our dedicated staff will provide yummy snacks along
with toys that are clean and age appropriate.
Acquaint yourself with our nursery and let us answer some
questions parents often ask. Please read this brochure
carefully. Your positive cooperation is of vital importance in
our effort to provide an effective and meaningful experience for
your child.
If you have any further questions or concerns about our Nursery,
please ask a Nursery Volunteer or call the church office at
797-2582.

including two years of age. When children turn three, they

-
Our Nursery Staff consists of volunteer workers who model
loving care. Thank you for being patient and kind to them as
they serve you and your child.
Our earnest
prayer is that God will bless our efforts as we care you your
little one. We want our nursery to help your child take his/her
first steps toward God!
Sincerely,
Copper

What to
Bring
Please remember
to bring diapers, bottles, pacifiers, and a change of clothes
for your child. Your diaper bags and all personal items should
be labeled with both the parent/guardian and child’s name.
Signing
In & Checking Out
Upon you
arrival at the Nursery, you will be asked to sign your child in
and will be given a Nursery Pager. When a parent is needed
during church services, the pager will be activated. First time
visitors will be asked to fill out an information card on their
child. Our policy for signing in or checking out a child is as
follows: Parents or legal guardians only.
Health
Standards
Our Nursery is
cleaned after each service and is open to babies who are well.
We will not be able to accept a child with a fever, persistent
cough, diarrhea, or other signs of illness. If any of these
symptoms develop while your child is in the Nursery, we will
quickly page you. Please help us to keep our Nursery a healthy
place for all babies and toddlers.
Nursery
Team
The Nursery
Team consists of Coordinators and approved Volunteers who work
on a rotating schedule. We ask that you do not enter our
Nursery unless you have been scheduled, paged or need to nurse
or change your child. Limiting access to our Nursery provides a
quieter and safer place for the children who are under our care.
Parent
Commitment
Once you begin
to regularly attend Copper Mountain Assembly of God and use the
Nursery, you will be scheduled to serve in the Nursery. This
schedule usually covers several weeks and is mailed to all
volunteers and posted in the Nursery.
Please keep in
mind that the effectiveness of our Nursery depends on everyone’s
participation and faithfulness.
Medications
Under no
circumstances are Nursery Volunteers allowed to administer any
type of medications. This includes diaper cream and baby
powder. If your child requires any medication or has special
needs, please check frequently on your child.
Discipline Policy
Under no
circumstances do we physically discipline a child. We gently
correct and affirm good behavior.
Diaper
Changing and Potty Training
We do NOT allow
our volunteers to change diapers. Checks are made and when
diapers need changing we will page you to the Nursery. We will
do our best to assist your child with potty training. Please be
sure to remember to bring a spare change of clothing for your
potty trainer.
Bottles
and Snacks
We will gladly
give prepared bottles of milk or juice to your child. As a
snack, we will provide crackers for children on solid food
unless you ask us not to.
