Thank you so much for expressing an interest in our Kids Ministry here at Encompass Church. We believe that serving in kids is one of the most rewarding ministries you can be involved in. The approval process is designed to ensure that we meet the strict government guidelines for duty of care when working with children. Upon completion, it shows that the Senior Pastors trust you to care for the children in the church on their behalf.
