First Flight Kids Ministry FAQs
What kinds of security measures are in place?
All of our rooms and hallways where children are present are equipped with security cameras. We have a dedicated safety team monitoring cameras and stationed throughout the facility during regular programs. The nursery area and children's floor are secured with keycard access to interested parties.
Can I go with my child up to the secure floor?
You may accompany your child on one occasion (provided that you receive a security tag at the check-in area). After that, you will need a background check to be eligible to be an observer status (allowing limited access to the kids area with no contact with students other than your own).
Can I volunteer?
Absolutely! Volunteers undergo a screening process that includes a background checks and child abuse training. If you would like to serve, please call the church office at (270) 247-2992.
Who do I contact if I have questions, concerns, or want to visit on a campus tour?
For all nursery inquires, contact Kristin Hays at khays@fbcmayfield.com or (270) 247-2992. For all children's ministry inquires, you can reach Mason Shelton, the Associate Pastor of Families, at (270) 953-0291 or at mshelton@fbcmayfield.com.

Stop by the Children's Worship Desk in the vestibule before service. A team member will check you in and give you a security tag. Your child will sit with you until dismissal.

No problem. Send them when kids are dismissed—we’ll register them on our end. You’ll just need to show ID at pickup.
