parent commitment | august 23rd

Parent Commitment is a special opportunity for parents to publicly thank God for the gift of their child and commit to raising them in a Christ-centered home. While every child will one day make their own decision to follow Jesus, Parent Commitment is a meaningful moment for parents to declare their desire to lead, teach, pray for, and model a life of faith.

During this special moment, our church family will celebrate with you and pray over your family as you embrace the incredible responsibility of parenting.

Families will be recognized and prayed for during one of our Sunday gatherings:

Space is limited to eight families per gathering. Following the gathering, your family is invited to a small reception in the ABS Rooms, where you’ll receive a special gift from Quay Church.

Registration closes August 19.

quaykids on sundays

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 1:4

As the Quay Kids team, we care about your children; they are precious to you, precious to us and even more precious to God.

Quay Kids is designed to be an encouragement and complement to your ministry as parents. The Bible makes it clear that parents have the primary, God-given responsibility for bringing up their children. This is not an easy task, but it is also not a task that God intends for parents to do on their own. It is our intention to come alongside you to encourage, equip and assist in your Godly parenting journey.

Quay Kids gather every Sunday morning and coincides with Quay Church gatherings at 8:15a, 10a, 12p, and 5p.

frequently asked questions

what do you believe?

We believe that every child is valuable and is learning from the very beginning of their life. We are commanded in Scripture to proclaim Christ to them.

We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.

Psalm 78:4

It is our desire to come alongside your family to partner with you in the spiritual growth of your child. We do this by providing a safe and fun atmosphere for them to discover how great our God truly is!

what should i expect on sundays?

Preschool and elementary children have separate wings designed just for them! We use The Gospel Project curriculum, which is a Christ-centered, chronological study that puts the gospel at the center of everything. Each age and stage is cared for and taught at their own level. You are welcome to check out the Gospel Project webpage by clicking here.

what do you offer for babies and toddlers?

Babies and walkers (up to age two) enjoy time with caring ladies and older teens who love little ones! Our goal with our youngest children is to create a safe environment which sets the foundation in young hearts that church is a safe place for both learning about Jesus and fun. Please feel free to bring your child’s favorite comfort item and any bottles/snacks you wish them to have, along with diaper changing items.

what do you offer for preschoolers?

This is a place where every child is loved, cared for and taught about Jesus. Each room is designed to engage kids at their age or developmental level, so they can make friends, laugh, play and learn that God loves them. Snacks (Goldfish crackers and Cheerios) and water are provided, but please alert your child’s teacher to any allergies or sensitivities, and send along an alternate snack if desired.

what do you offer for elementary school kids?

We want all of our children to receive an incredible first impression of their Heavenly Father, and the wonder of His love for each of them. Each service includes games, Bible stories, small group time and a large-group, interactive worship service designed just for them. Snacks are not provided, but donuts and bananas are available for parents to give their children before and between our services in the main lobby.

what do you offer for kids with special needs?

Every child deserves to hear Jesus on their level. We offer a buddy system for children with special needs from preschool through 5th grade. These volunteers meet them where they’re at, stay with them through the quaykids gathering and help them understand the lessons, activities and, most importantly, that Jesus loves them. Please email any questions you have about this program to kids@quaychurch.org.

what should we do if our child is sick?

We kindly ask that you not bring your child if they have shown any signs of illness (fever, vomiting, diarrhea) in the previous 24 hours. Parents will be called if their child becomes ill during the service.

Baby room items are cleaned with a safe sanitizing solution, and all toys and surfaces are wiped with disinfectant wipes after use.

how do you keep our children protected?
  • All adult volunteers are background checked through Checkr, a secure, nationally-recognized screening company.
  • We require all rooms have at least two approved adult volunteers in them when children are present.
  • We require that adult males only serve with at least one female adult in the room with them.
  • We use the Planning Center check-in system for the protection of each family. Each child will get a name-tag with a randomly generated code that matches your pick-up tag for security.
  • Only adults may drop off or pick up a child – please do not send younger siblings to do the pick-up.
  • We have security personnel at the doors to both the preschool and elementary wings checking for security tags during drop-off and pick-up.
  • Children may be dropped off in their rooms no more than 15 minutes prior to the start of the service, as long as there are adult teachers present.

Sunday Kids Recap

Awana clubs for kids

Our awana clubs will now be meeting on tuesday evenings from 6:30p – 8p throughout the school year, and they take a break for the summer.

Awana is a key component of our desire for all kids to learn about Jesus, even from a very young age! It is a multi-age program that uses games, songs, Bible stories and memorization to encourage children to hide God’s Word in their hearts. Our program is open to preschoolers up to fifth grade, with childcare for children of Awana volunteers ages birth through age two.

**We believe it is important for parents to also be involved, which is why we ask that parents sign up to serve at Awana when registering your kids.

Awana transition faq

Why is Awana moving to Tuesday nights?

Beginning this fall, Quay Students (Middle and High School) will meet on Wednesday nights, creating a dedicated midweek environment for students to grow in their faith and build community.

To support this new rhythm, Awana is moving to Tuesday nights, alongside our Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies. This allows families with children of all ages to participate in age- appropriate discipleship throughout the week while making the best use of our campus, classrooms, and steward teams.

Our desire is to create healthy, sustainable environments where every generation can land in the hope of Jesus, launch into their God-given purpose, and live on mission for the glory of God.

When does the new schedule begin?

Our first Awana will be Tuesday, September 15.

We’re excited to launch this new season of ministry and look forward to welcoming both returning and new families.

What time will Awana meet?

Awana will meet on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.

Check in will begin prior to the start of the program, and all children should be picked up by 8:00 p.m.

Where will Awana meet?

Awana will continue to meet in the Quay Kids Auditorium and elementary classrooms, and preschool classrooms providing the same safe, secure, and welcoming environment families have come to expect.

Our secure check-in and check-out procedures will remain in place.  Children will continue to be cared for by trained and background checked Quay Kids stewards who are committed to creating a safe environment where kids can learn God’s Word, build friendships, and grow in their faith.

Will anything besides the day of the week change?

No. Awana will continue to use the same trusted curriculum and age-appropriate programming. The biggest change is simply moving from Wednesday evenings to Tuesday evenings.

Will dinner be provided?

No. Dinner will not be provided on Tuesday nights.

Families are encouraged to eat before arriving so the evening can remain focused on discipleship, Scripture memory, games, and small group relationships.

Does my child have to attend because I am in a Bible study?

Awana is open to all children who register. Parents are welcome to participate in a Men’s or Women’s Bible Study while their children attend Awana, but participation in a Bible study is not required.  If you do participate in a Men’s or Women’s Bible Study your child will be attending Awana.  This is in place of childcare.

Do parents have to serve for their child to participate?

No. Parents are not required to serve in order for their child to attend Awana.

We are building a team of committed stewards who have a heart for discipling children. If you are interested in serving, we would love to help you find a place on the team.

Will there be childcare for younger children during Bible studies?

Yes, childcare will continue to be available for eligible children whose parents are participating in Tuesday evening Bible studies.

Is there a limit to how many children can register?

Yes. Each club has a maximum capacity based on available space and steward to child ratios.

How does Awana work with Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies?

Tuesday evenings are designed to be a Family Discipleship night.

While children participate in Awana, parents can attend a Men’s or Women’s Bible Study. Offering these ministries on the same evening provides a convenient opportunity for the entire family to grow together.

Men’s and Women’s Bible Study registration is expected to open around July 28, and registration for both Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies will remain open through September 27, aligning with the Awana registration timeline.

How will registration work?

Registration for Awana is opening on august 5th, 2026.

Registration will remain open through Sunday, September 27, allowing families to register before and during the first two weeks of the Awana year. Registration will close before the third Awana gathering to allow clubs to be finalized and steward teams to care well for each child.

Because space is limited in each club, families are encouraged to register as early as possible.

Can my middle or high school student attend Awana?

No. Middle and high school students will now participate in Quay Students, which will meet on Wednesday evenings beginning this fall.

This creates a dedicated environment specifically designed for students to grow in their faith, build relationships, and invite friends.

What time do Tuesday evening ministries end?

All Tuesday evening ministries, including Awana, Bible studies, and childcare, will conclude at 8:00 p.m.

We ask that all children be picked up promptly so our steward teams can close the building and prepare for the week ahead.

How will I receive updates?

We’ll share updates through:

  • Social media as needed
  • Email
  • The Quay Church website
  • Sunday announcements
Who can I contact if I have questions?

If you have additional questions about Awana or the transition to Tuesday nights, please contact the Lyn Burch at lburch@quaychurch.org. We’d be happy to help.

We’re excited about this new season and believe these changes will create even greater opportunities for children, students, and adults to grow in their relationship with Jesus. Thank you for partnering with us as we continue helping people land in the hope of Jesus, launch into their God given purpose, and live on mission for the glory of God.
