Lunch - If Parents are registered for the Thursday luncheon, kids will be served lunchables at 1:00.

"Hay Day" is our theme for Access 2018 Childcare - so parents, register your child today and send them in a plaid shirt to join in the fun! Kids will be up to their elbows in farmin' fun as they explore one simple Bible truth: Jesus will always love us.

What should my child wear?

Casual attire is best (shorts, t-shirts) with tennis shoes or sandals. Your child will have a game time outside every day, and they will need to be comfortably dressed. Also, sometimes crafts can get a little messy, so dress your child in something that you don't mind getting dirty.

In the afternoons, preschoolers and elementary-aged kids will go outside for some outdoor fun on the playground and will have the option of playing water games. Bring a swimsuit and towel for your child, marked with his/her name on each item, along with a bag to put them in.

What should my child bring?

Infants and Toddlers: Diaper bag and an extra set of clothes, as well as what comforts your child such as a pacifier or blanket.

Preschoolers and Elementary aged children: as little as possible. They will be moving from room to room, and unnecessary stuff can get lost easily.

What types of snacks will you serve?

Preschoolers and Elementary-aged kids: items such as blueberries, cheese sticks, yogurt, fruit pouches, bananas, strawberries, popcorn, and water to drink. See the schedule for what will be offered for meals.

Toddlers: Cheerios

How will my child's food allergies be handled?

Make sure you indicate any allergies on your child's registration form. If what we provide doesn���t work for your child, you are welcome to provide your own snack or meal. Please give it to your child's group leader at drop-off.

How do I pick up my child?

You will be issued a security tag when you register your child. When you come to pick up your child, we will ask you to show your security tag before entering the childcare area. Once you show your security tag to those at the Registration table, you are allowed to enter the childcare area to pick up your child. At your child's room, you will be required to show your security tag again and sign out your child on the class roster.

If you forget or lose your child's security tag, you will be asked to step aside and wait the Registration table until most of the other children have left, then the Access Childcare Director or Sandy Barrett will verify whether your child can be released to you.

Auburn Grace Community Church

Auburn is a cool town! Nested in the foot hills of the Sierra Nevada's it is just 90 minutes from Lake Tahoo and 2 hours from San Francisco. And Auburn Grace Community has a neat story of rebirth and maturity that is evident in an exciting, impacting, Bible based church. You will enjoy this location! This is THE Access destination to hang around after and vacation!

Lots of Cohorts and a few worskshops

In keeping with our theme about access, we will provide multiple gatherings for ministry interests. Stay tuned as we develop the list. And back by popular demand, we will offer a couple of quality workshops lead by some of our best Bible and ministry teachers.

Celebrations, meals, grace kids and more!

And we will still have great celebrations! We are putting together a worship band from multiple churches and main session speakers who talk to the heart of ministry.

Thursday Cohorts and Workshops

Charis Ministries

Charis has some amazing ministries that start new churches, train new leaders and do good for the sake of the Gospel. They will sponsor meals at Access2019.

We are family... WITH ACCESS!

Why should you come to access2019?

And what will be waiting for you there?

Leaders need access! In the church, leaders need other Jesus-following-leaders who have the experiences and perspectives that help them advance. Access2019 will be intentionally designed to give leaders meaningful, ministry-changing access.

Your access... your conference!

Intentionally Interactive

We will create more time in the schedule for you to gather with other leaders who know what you need and need what you know. Call them cohorts, or round-tables, or interest groups but we will provide ample time for you to talk about what you are learning in ministry. We like to call access2019 a "customized conference."

access2019 will keep on giving!

And after access2019 ends...

You will have new connections that can call anytime you learn something new or need a fresh idea. This can change your ministry!
