Standard Precautions in Fuel 4:12 Children’s Ministry and Kindling Kids Environments:

• Facemasks are required for all Children’s Ministry workers and volunteers while on duty in children’s areas.
• Touchless thermometer temperature checks and a health screening questionnaire will be conducted at check-in for staff, team members, and children before being allowed to enter into environments.
• Prior to every service, a thorough cleaning of our children’s environments will be performed using approved cleaning agents and recommended protocols.
