FAQ

Here’s some information about things we frequently receive questions about. If you can’t find an answer on our site, please call Stephanie or Taylor at 904.471.2166 for more help!

FELLOWSHIP DINNERS Our Wednesday Fellowship dinners  start at 5 pm. The menu varies each week and is published in the bulletin. Adults (12 and up): $6; Children (3-11): $3, Children (under 3): Free. Dessert and drink are included in the price.

KIDCHECK SUNDAY CHECK-IN & SECURITY We use a secure check-in technology, KidCheck, on the weekends. All children attending Anastasia Kids from the nursery through 5th grade must check in and wear their name tags. Parents/Guardians must also present their name tags when retrieving children at dismissal. Check-in stations are located in the Atrium and outside Buildings A and B. We’ll help you sign up and next time all you have to do is tap in your phone number on our iPads. We’ll always have someone at Check-in to help you with any questions.

UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR It is our goal to encourage children to grow socially, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We want all of our children to be safe and feel safe. Any child’s behavior that is harmful to himself/herself, another child, or a teacher (such as fighting, scratching, biting, and hitting) will not be allowed. If unacceptable behavior does occur, the lead volunteer will talk with the child about appropriate behavior and the child will be redirected to another activity. Parents will be contacted if an unacceptable behavior persists.

VISITORS / BRINGING A FRIEND We are so excited when our children bring a friend. However, it is imperative that we have contact info for each child in the event of an emergency.

  • Anastasia Kids: Visitors to our weekend children’s programs will be asked to create a free KidCheck account at our electronic check-in program. If a current Anastasia Kids parent is bringing along a friend, please add that child to your account for a smooth check-in.
  • KidsPraise: We ask parents of visiting children or the KidsPraise parent bringing a friend to complete a basic contact info form for each child visiting.  Just stop by the Connection Table in the Atrium and we’ll help with the rest.

VOLUNTEER WORKERS We prioritize the safety of our children and students at Anastasia Church. Our team undergoes thorough screening and training, and all volunteers who work with kids and students are known members or actively engaged attenders of the church who have completed a criminal background check, child abuse awareness training, and a personal safety screening. Furthermore, no adult is allowed to work alone with a minor in any setting. Please visit our VOLUNTEER page for more information.

WELL CHILD POLICY  We operate a well-child environment. For the protection of all the children in our ministry, we cannot accept a child with a runny nose, fresh cold (four days or less), fever, red or runny eyes, sore throat, undiagnosed rash, persistent cough, vomiting, diarrhea, illness being treated with antibiotics for less than 24 hours or any other signs of illness. We request that you not place your child in the program while they are at risk of exposing other children.  If in doubt, please stay at home. Thank you in advance for helping us to keep our Anastasia Kids program a healthy place!
