Ascend Kids Registration
Step 1:
Register online ahead of time or before Sunday services at the Ascend Kids Welcome Desk. Each Sunday morning, complete check-in with a volunteer at the desk.
Step 2:
Drop off your child at their age-appropriate class. A volunteer will be available to assist you in finding the correct classroom. At drop-off, your child will receive a name tag sticker. You will receive a corresponding parent tag required for pick-up.
Step 3:
Pick up your child after the service at their age-appropriate classroom. Don’t forget to bring your parent tag from check-in – we require it for the security of all children!
