Special Considerations Room

Special Considerations Room

In Matthew 18:4-5, Jesus teaches us that “whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.”

We offer a Special Considerations Room as a dedicated respite space for kids who need a moment to relax and recharge. With the support of a friendly volunteer buddy, children can take a break in a calm environment before rejoining their peers. Our goal is for every child to learn alongside their classmates, while also recognizing that everyone occasionally needs a breather. Located on the second floor of the Alexander Building in Room 24, this space ensures that every child feels supported and can thrive in their own way.

Every person is precious to our Father in heaven. It is our hope that HP Pres will be an environment that children can experience God’s love in a way that makes them feel safe and understood.

*If you are a first-time visitor or bringing a new friend, please walk your children inside the building and up to Alexander Loft so we can make sure we have all the necessary information in case of emergencies.

Wight Garden in the Alexander Building on the East end of campus is where all children are checked-in on Sunday mornings. If it’s your first time checking in, please visit the welcome desk by the glass doors. Once your children have their nametags, please use the staircase in Wight Garden to go upstairs to Alexander Loft. A member of our team will be there to greet you and help you find your classroom.

We offer a class called “Come to the Table” four times a year to introduce your child to the Lord’s Supper. The class is intended for kids 1st-6th grade. During this class, you will learn as a family to remember what Jesus did for us on the cross, how we receive Jesus in a special way at his table, and how we rejoice in the life that is to come!
