Frequently Asked Questions

• I'm new. What do I do?

  We're so glad to have you as our guest at Faith Promise. We want your experience in fpKIDS to be one worth talking about.

  The first time you bring your child to fpKIDS simply visit our Family Registration desk in the lobby. Each child will be registered and assigned to a room based upon age/grade.

  To save time, you can print out the Family Registration Card (pdf) at home, fill it out, and bring it with you.

• How secure is your environment?

  When you register your child, we provide you and your child matching identification tags that are exclusive to your family and your visit. The nametag portion worn by your child bears a code that matches your portion of the tag. During checkout, you will present the tag matching your child's nametag, and they will be released back to you.

  We also use this exclusive code to notify you during service should your child need you.

• Is my child ready for salvation? What about baptism?

  We've prepared a page that deals specifically with this topic. Click here.

• Where can I get more information about child dedications?

  You can find information about child dedication at Faith Promise here.

• My child has special needs. What can I expect?

  We have a more intentional process for our families with specialized needs. It's our desire to provide a church home for your family and we understand the integration process for your child will look different than most. We have a step-by-step process just for you.

  • Step 1: We want to start a conversation. There are important things about your child that will help us discover the best age environment for them. So, let's talk. This conversation can take place in person or over the phone, based upon your preference. And there are specific things we'd like to know.
  • Step 2: We use a multi-step process to help kids integrate into fpKIDS. Utilizing the "Buddy" system, we pair your child with a buddy that intentionally helps your child as they experience the fpKIDS weekly service. We understand that the first time isn't always a charm so the conversation will continue with you until we feel everyone is well-acclimated.
  • Step 3: Would you like to start the process? Contact us at fpkids@faithpromise.org. We're excited to get to know you more.

• My kids are different ages. Will you separate them?

  This is a great question. One of the scariest steps to exploring a new environment is the idea that your child might not know anyone around them. We understand this concern and work hard to ensure that each new child receives specific attention to help them adjust, feel comfortable and meet new friends.

  Our rooms separated based upon age or grade.

  Nursery, Crawlers & Walkers
  Babies and toddlers need a space where they gain a first impression of who God is. Our nursery provides a nurturing atmosphere where babies feel loved and cared for by experienced leaders. For children who are mobile, our Walker Room is the place to be. Our Walkers engage in simple activities that introduce them to Jesus.

  Preschool
  We divide our kids into 3 different areas. Two Year Olds, Three Year Olds & PreK (4 years to PreK).

  The fpKiDS preschool ministry believes that every young child deserves a strong spiritual foundation. That is why we focus on three basic truths:

  • God made me.
  • God loves me.
  • Jesus wants to be my friend.

  Children ages 2-5 encounter Biblical truths as they participate in a variety of hands-on activities. During small group time, leaders interact with small groups of children to introduce Biblical truths in an engaging atmosphere. During Large Group, children will see the Bible come alive through dramas, storytelling, puppetry and worship.

  Elementary
  In Elementary, we divide kids based upon their current grade. K-3rd graders attend the Theater for large group where they will experience dynamic teaching including drama, fun games, and engaging worship. We focus on three basic truths:

  • I can trust God no matter what.
  • I need to make the wise choice.
  • I need to treat others the way I want to be treated.

  The best leaders on the planet will engage your kids in activities to connect the Bible lesson to their personal lives through hands-on activities and games.

  Our 4th and 5th graders have their own area to call home. Club 45 is an innovative environment designed for the preteen. Creative teaching, interactive games, dynamic worship and great leaders all combine to engage your student. Club 45 is a safe environment where we focus on growing three key relationships:

  • relationship with God
  • relationships with peers
  • relationships with mentor (parents & adult leaders)

• What happens if I lose my scan card?

  Lost your card? No problem. Simply stop by the Family Registration desk located in the campus lobby. We'll issue you a new one.

• When will my child move from one room to the next?

  Nursery / Crawlers / Walkers
  Generally these room transitions are based upon whether or not your baby is proficiently crawling/walking. For example, a toddler will remain in the Crawler room until he/she is walking the majority of the time without assistance.

  2 Years to PreK
  Once your child turns 2 years old, their room transitions are based upon age. For example, the day your child turns 3 years old he/she will move to the 3 year old room.

  Kindergarten to 5th grade
  Transitions change in elementary and follow the Knox County School calendar. When the new school year begins for Knox County, then we transition all our elementary students from one grade to the next.
