Register your family

Registration collects household contacts, children, and ministry enrollments for the current registration year.

New families

  1. From the home page, choose Register Your Family.
  2. Sign in or create an account when prompted. You must be signed in to submit.
  3. Enter the household address and at least one guardian.
  4. Add each child, including allergies or special needs ministry leaders should know.
  5. Choose ministries (enrolled or interest-only, depending on the program).
  6. Review consents and submit.

The form heading is Family Registration Form. Fields start empty because gatherKids does not already have your household.

Returning families

If gatherKids already has your household:

  1. Sign in with the same email you used before.
  2. You will land on registration (if this year’s cycle is still open) or your household page (if you already submitted this cycle).
  3. Look for Welcome Back / Returning family registration. Names, children, and many answers are filled in so you can confirm or update them.

You do not need to create a second household. If something looks wrong, update it on this form rather than registering again as a new family.

After you submit

  • You can open Household later to review children and program enrollments.
  • Enrollments from previous registration years stay visible in the household accordion. See Manage your household.

Tips

  • Use a real email you can access — it is how you sign back in.
  • Keep allergy and pickup notes current before Sunday check-in.
  • Children can join more than one ministry when the program allows it.
