In order to run a safe and productive children’s ministry here at First Baptist Church of Niles, we strive to encourage the children to behave in an appropriate manner. This means that certain guidelines must be in place.
Incidents of misbehavior or disrespect will be handled in the following manner:
1: Warning Given.
2: Moved to a different area from his/her current place/activity.
3: Removed: This will include being sent to the office while a parent or guardian is notified. In the case that the parent/guardian is unable to be reached, the child will stay in the office until the end of the event, at which point they will be returned home with a notification that the parents/guardians will have to contact the church before they are able to return.
NOTE: Certain behavior will result in automatic removal (Step 3) including, but not limited to fighting and foul language.
1st Time Sent Home: 1 week of no club.
2nd Time: 2 weeks
3rd Time: not allowed to return for the duration of this year's ministry.
Electronic Device Policy: If Electronic Devices are seen or heard they will be turned into a leader and then will be returned to the student at the end of the evening.
Our goal is for the above discipline to be administered in a loving, firm, and patient manner so that all those involved in any church activity will be able to enjoy all the benefits of participation.
I understand the above disciplinary policy and agree to cooperate with First Baptist Church of Niles in any disciplinary incidents involving my child.
