Thrive Church Official Release
Notification of Policy Change

Re: Loud Kid Policy, Effective Immediately

At Thrive Church, we are committed to transparency and accountability in all matters of church life. The following document outlines our comprehensive procedures regarding loud children in worship. Please consider this your official notice of policy clarification.

Effective immediately, if a family is considering visiting Thrive Church and they have a loud kid, the following options are available:

Option 1. The family should bring the kid.

Option 2. The family should make sure they bring the kid.

Option 3. The family is to see that the child is brought to church.

Option 4. The kid is absolutely welcome and expected.

We believe the sound of children in worship is not a distraction. It is evidence of life, growth, and the future of the church. If your child makes noise, you are not bothering us. You are blessing us.

Policy enacted. No exceptions!

At Thrive Church our goals are simple:
“Love God, Love People, and Change Lives!”

Thank you!
