STEP 4: Use Family Pre-Check This Sunday!
• This Sunday, open the Church Center App and click on the Check-In icon on the bottom of the screen.
• Select the service and which family members you want to check-in. (Our system will automatically place your child in the right classroom based on grade & age.)
• After selecting the family members to check-in, select “Next”.
• You will then receive a QR code that will be available until after you physically check-in your child.
• When you arrive, you can go directly to one of our kiosks with a scanner.
• Hold your device up to scan your QR code
• This will print your child’s check-in tag and the security label to securely check-out your child after the service.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Family Pre-Check is available on SUNDAY MORNINGS only. You cannot check in prior to Sunday.
