Gateway Kids Ministry
Pre-register KidsParents rejoice!
Check-in is less hectic now that you can pre-select the family members you want to check in before you even arrive.
All you have to do to check in or out is scan the security code on your phones using the Church Center App. The app is great for other things too: volunteering, giving, or registering for events.
