Children's Ministries
Cornerstone Kids is the children’s ministry of Cornerstone Baptist Church. Our mission is to partner with parents and caregivers to raise children who know, love, and serve Jesus. It’s our goal to introduce children to the life-changing message of the gospel, providing opportunities to grow, connect, and reach out to others.
This quality children's program includes 2 Sunday morning programmes (9:45am & 10:30 am), our monthly 'Youth Night' service, and different special family-centred events throughout the year.
We know that biblical education, safety, and relationships are crucial to making your child’s visit to Cornerstone Kids memorable and possibly life-changing. When he or she attends, they’ll be engaged with age-appropriate and Christ-centered curriculum and worship, and we hope they’ll leave feeling known and loved. We hope this is a place where you can meet other families and experience the love of God through Jesus Christ.
We are excited to serve your family and look forward to meeting you!
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check in my child?
If you are a visitor, we look forward to meeting you and your child in our main assembly room.
Our friendly ministry leader will help you register your children, explain more about the program, show you their children's meeting room, and answer any questions.
NOTE: Cornerstone supports the Biblical authority and responsibility of the parents. It is not our intention to usurp the authority of parents; as "children are heritage of the Lord" (Psalm 127:3 )
Parents make the final decision of their children's participation in this ministry. Children are always welcome to attend any of our main services with their parents.
What if my child has been sick?
We ask that children who have a fever or show symptoms of any contagious disease within the last 24 hours not be brought to Cornerstone Kids.
How will you reach me if my child is in need?
In the event that we need to reach you, the children's meeting is steps away from main assembly area and we will easily find you.
Does my child have snack time?
We seek to provide safe and suitable snacks for children excluding any peanut products. If your child has allergies or dietary restrictions, please be sure to notify our ministry leader and record it on your child’s registration form for our reference.
What kind of security checks are used for volunteers and staff?
As established by our Child Protection Policy, screening for volunteers requires active church membership, a completed comprehensive application, background check, and researched references. Also, each team member is personally interviewed by members of our Executive Committee, Children’s Ministries leader, and Pastor.
