Check-in Process

We are excited to welcome your family to NCKids! We’d love to have you worship with us on Sunday morning.

New families: Please plan to arrive at about 9:45 am. Look for the New Families check-in station in the church foyer. We will greet your family there, help you register your child for the appropriate age group, and print your name tags. If you like, you can save time by registering before you arrive:

Returning/registered families: To provide the safest environment for your children, we have a check-in process for those who are registered in our system. Please check in all of your kids from infants through 5th grade before sitting down for worship. Here’s the process, which uses your phone instead of requiring you to touch any computers:

  1. Check in anytime after 9:30am - You may use text messaging to check in on your way to church, from your parking spot, or anywhere on the campus. Text checkin to 650-386-0011, select family members attending that day, click check-in, and your kids’ name tags will be waiting for you in the church foyer when you arrive. This system works by recognizing parents’ unique mobile phone numbers. The security code for pick-up will be texted back to your phone.

  2. After checking in, babies (3 months and up), toddlers, and preschoolers go directly to their classrooms near the grassy area. Check-in volunteers can help guide you to the right place.

  3. After checking in, kids in K-5th grade begin worship together with their families in the sanctuary or on the patio. They are called up to the front of the sanctuary before the sermon—or greeted by one of their leaders on the patio—and guided to Community Hall.

  4. After the service, please pick up your kids using the security code on your phone—grades K-5 in Community Hall and babies-preschoolers in their classrooms.

Families are also welcome stay together on the patio or in the sanctuary throughout the worship service, if desired.
