Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I go when I arrive?

Each campus has a dedicated area for kids. If you’re having a hard time finding things, a friendly face will be nearby to help.

What if I want to attend Shepherd Kids with my child?

We encourage parents and guardians to see how their kid does on their own. Creating new relationships is incredibly important to development and we have seen countless kids (that were super nervous or sad at first) find amazing community in Shepherd Kids. Some kids do need time to adjust. If your child is having a difficult time making it through a whole service, we will give you a call and you can pick them up. We encourage you to keep trying, we’ll be ready when they are! Because all adults in our rooms are required to have a background check, parents are only allowed to stay for a few moments, interact with your child only, and are asked to wear a “guest” badge. Email us at sksy@shepherdchurch.com if you would like to talk more.

What if my child has special needs?

Email us at sksy@shepherdchurch.com. We have staff that specifically want to connect with you. We know each family and situation is different, but all of us belong! Whether it’s finding a buddy or giving some extra tools, we’re here on this journey with you! You are also welcome to simply show up to any of our programming! Just let a team member know if you would like to talk to someone about making church the best it can be for your kid.

What if my child came with a friend?

We hope that your kid always leaves Shepherd Kids with more friends than they came in with! And this happens every week for so many kids! If the friend they are coming with happens to be in a different room than they are, we do our best to make sure they are comfortable and still have a wonderful time. While we won’t always be able to move their rooms around, we can still offer a wonderful experience.

Who can be a leader in Shepherd Kids?

We know your kids are the most important thing to you. Our leaders go through a multi-step interview process, background check, and training before being able to serve in any of our rooms.
