Rimrock kids
We want to come alongside parents to help nurture and grow your child's faith.
Birth - 20 Months
We strive to create a calming yet engaging environment for babies in our nursery area. Our volunteers have a desire to both care for infants and serve parents by allowing them the opportunity to participate in adult worship and classes.
Special Note to Nursing Mothers:
We have a private room, especially for nursing Moms; it has its own rocking chair and changing station. We also have a portable crib available in this room for babies to nap in as well. The room is located just inside the baby nursery entryway.

21 - 36 Months
Teachable Moments: Through songs and guided play, our volunteers help toddlers learn valuable skills in a grace-filled atmosphere. Each week our lesson introduces little ones to God and his Son Jesus Christ. Together, we are learning that everyone is part of the story God is telling!
Toddler Room Values & Practices:
- Teachable Moments: Our volunteers support the process of helping your toddler learn valuable skills in a grace-filled atmosphere. We use a curriculum to show our young ones how to be involved in worship that is on their level and how to begin to connect with the Bible and God.
- Snack time: Crackers and cookies will be provided to children old enough to have them. We also provide sippy cups or bottles for water. If you would like your child to have something else to drink, please send it with your child.
If your child has a food allergy, please make a special note on the sign-in sheet found on the counter in your child’s room. You may also provide a snack your child can enjoy. - Playtime: Toddlers learn through play and we provide opportunities for them to build friendships, learn appropriate interaction with others and life skills like sharing, helping, kindness, etc.
Security And Child Check In
When you place your child into our care, we take their security very seriously and work to partner with you to provide the best environment possible.
Parent Responsibilities
- Healthy kids: In order to ensure the health and safety of our babies and toddlers, we graciously ask that if your child is sick (i.e.: fever, runny nose, cough, vomiting, etc) please do not bring them to the nursery that service. We do our best to keep everyone healthy, and this would help a great deal. We understand there can be exceptions, specifically with teething. We appreciate your understanding.
- Volunteer: If your child takes part in our nursery, we would ask that you volunteer. You have many different options: once a month, once a quarter, on special occasions (Date night, Wednesday nights, holidays or other functions), or even on the sub list, to fill in when a regular volunteer is unable to make it. We need you. Our Nursery Ministry is only as good as the Volunteers that help make it possible, and we would love for you to be part of our group that ministers God's love to the smallest members here at Rimrock Church. Any adults working with kids WILL HAVE A BACKGROUND CHECK.
Diapering Procedure
Parents are welcome and encouraged to use our changing table. Please follow the posted instructions for cleaning the area to maintain a good environment for other families. If you need assistance, please ask the volunteer in the room.
Background Checks
Every volunteer in our ministry submits to a state and national background check. Each is interviewed carefully before joining a classroom ministry team.
Check In Procedure
Every child needs a security nametag to be admitted into our classrooms. There are three check-in stations downstairs, just before the double doors leading to the preschool and grade school area. There is a single check-in station upstairs outside the nursery door.
If you are a first-time guest at Rimrock, please fill out a yellow card (found at the check-in area) and fill out a temporary name tag for your child(ren).
Anyone wanting to pick up a child from our classrooms must show the security tag with a matching number to the child’s tag. This process ensures that your child is dismissed with the people you authorize.

Paging Procedures
If your child is hurt or cannot be calmed, we will page parents via the screens in the worship center. If you see your security code on the screen, please meet your child’s teacher in the area indicated on the screen (nursery, toddler, preschool or elementary).
3 Years to 5th Grade
Each weekend, kids ages 3 years to 5th grade, explore a new part of the Bible's ONE BIG STORY. What is that ONE story? God rescuing people through Jesus.
Using a wide variety of activities, kids will explore the Bible over three years and will encounter the good news of Jesus over and over. But the weekend is only the beginning! Each lesson includes questions, activities, and other tools for parents to continue the discussion throughout the week.
Several times each year, we encourage 1st graders to High Schoolers to join their families in adult worship. These are Family Worship Sundays.
