Servers: Please refer to your team manual for the most up-to-date information on all policies and procedures.

Server Responsibilities

Be PREPARED!

  • Pray: for your children and your class; we set the atmosphere for God to move in the lives of these kids in our classes!

  • Study the lesson plan prior to the class period.

  • Have your classroom set up and ready to receive children at 9:30 am on Sundays. Do not leave your room children have arrived.

Be EXCITED and come EXPECTING! 

Excitement is contagious! Greet each child and parent as they check-in to class and come expecting God to do BIG things.

Be SAFE!

  • There must be two adults present in the room at all times. There will be a Registration team member to assist you in any way you need, including bathroom breaks for you and your children.

  • All classrooms are equipped with security cameras and are recorded during service for the safety of all children and adults.

Be FAITHFUL! 

  • When you are scheduled, be there!

  • Be on time.

  • Be dependable.

  • If you cannot be there, find a replacement from your team and inform your Generations Director!

Be EQUIPPED!

  • Attend all trainings and meetings. Come expecting to learn and grow!

  • Communicate with your class and team leaders regularly so that any instruction, changes, trouble areas, etc are regularly addressed.

Server Expectations

  1. All Teachers and Assistants must attend the Church on 68 for at least six consecutive services before they serve in a classroom.

  2. Teachers and Assistants must complete a volunteer application. This application is confidential and includes a background screening.

  3. Teachers and Assistants must agree to use only approved discipline policies.

  4. If a Teacher or Assistant is unable to attend their scheduled service, they must contact the Generations Director.

  5. Wear the Generations shirt and your name tag so you can be easily identifiable with the Generations team.

 

Jr. Server Expectations

  1. All Jr. Servers under the age of 18 must have permission to serve in Generations from their parent(s)/guardian. Once they are approved, they can be put on the regular schedule.

  2. Some children, ages 10-12, may be able to help as Jr. Servers depending on their maturity level and will be approved on a case by case basis.

  3. Jr. Servers under the age of 18 must not change diapers or take children to the restroom.

 

Classroom Schedule

In an effort to have all classes run smoothly and give the children a sense of stability, we expect that all servers follow the same format (with some flexibility depending on the age) in their classroom. This will help the children adapt to a regular routine in church, as well as helping them transition from one class to the next.

Classroom schedules are posted in each class and regularly updated by the Generations leadership team.

Generations Vision

We believe that it is an honor and a privilege to have an active role in equipping the upcoming generation!

Our kids are being brought up with Kingdom foundations established at an early age. We believe that if we equip and unlock children to walk in the fullness of God that their lives will be full of purpose, direction and vision as they grow into the men & women who will Rebuild, Repair, Revive, and Restore.
Isaiah 61:4

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

Pre & Post Service Classroom Routine

Before children arrive:

  • Be on time! Classrooms all receive children beginning at 9:30 am on Sundays.

  • Look over your lesson and make sure you have everything you will need to teach.

  • Go over the lesson plan and activities with assistants and delegate their responsibilities during activities.

Red, Orange, and Green Arrow Classrooms

At the beginning of class:

  • Greet children and parents.

  • Make sure stickers are on all children.

  • Red Arrows: make sure all diaper bags are also labeled or stickered.

At the end of class:

  • Put away toys in their proper place, vacuum, sanitize changing table, table, and toys with the provided spray.

  • Notify your Registration Team of any broken toys, hazards in the classroom, or needed supplies.

  • Return all t-shirts and bins with lesson materials to the Registration Desk.

Discipline Policy

If a child is causing a severe disruption to the class or has hurt himself/herself or another child, the Registration Team, Generations Director, and parent(s) will be paged immediately.

We do:

  • Use positive reinforcement to praise children’s good behavior.

  • Give encouragement and praise children in front of the peers and parents.

We do not:

  • Physically spank or hit any child.

  • Manipulate, bribe with rewards or guilt children into appropriate behavior.

Incidents/Accidents:

Each classroom has a log sheet to be completed when there has been any type of incident or accident.  (Bruise, red mark, teeth marks from a bite or bleeding from a fall or injury, etc.)

We expect our children to ACT properly in class. 

We do not tolerate or ignore poor behavior, actions, or attitudes that are disruptive to class. 

Ask them to stop disruptive behavior and tell them what is expected.

Correct behavior - remind them of expectations and place them in a time out.  With parent’s permission, a time-out not greater in minutes than the age of the child may be given. (Example: If the child is two years old, the time-out may not be any longer than two minutes.)

Tell - If a child persists with behavior, notify the parent or guardian to come and pick their child up from class to sit with them for the remainder of the service. Remember, our heart posture should always be redemptive. We want to encourage children and parents to come back and try again next week.

Guidelines for Before and After Class

It is our desire that our children enjoy coming to church. We want it to be a great time of playing with friends and cultivating relationships; however, for the safety of others and themselves, we have a few guidelines for non-classroom time.

  • Children are NOT allowed outside the building without adult supervision.

  • Walk only, no running. For the safety of all, especially small children and the elderly.

  • Children are NOT allowed to climb on furniture or auditorium chairs.

  • Children are NOT allowed in classrooms except during scheduled classroom time and under approved adult supervision.

  • We do NOT allow loitering (hanging out unsupervised) in hallways, foyer or bathrooms once service has begun.

  • Children are NOT allowed on the stage at any time, unless directed by an adult or a specific Generations activity.
