Welcome to Side By Side!

If you are a newcomer to Side By Side joining us for the spring portion of our 2025-2026 calendar year, you are in the right place!

​Please carefully follow the prompts below to ensure a successful registration process. If you have questions or concerns as you navigate the process, please contact us for assistance. We are happy to assist you!

Need a scholarship?

Childcare and book scholarships are granted upon request. If you need financial assistance, please skip "Step 1: Payment" and navigate to "Step 2: Registration". When completing registration, you can indicate if you would like a book and/or childcare scholarship and we will be in touch as quickly as we can!

Step 1: Payments

Please, note that ​dues are paid annually. Childcare is paid twice per year -  fall semester and spring semester. Please note: We are making one notable change regarding registration this year. This will pertain to you only if you will be registering a child in childcare. When you register, you will only immediately be charged the registration fee. Once your child has been placed in a classroom, you will receive an email asking you to complete your payment for the childcare portion. Your spot will only be guaranteed once payment is received so please pay promptly upon receiving the email. This will work on a first-come, first-serve basis and scholarship requests will not impact your ability to secure a spot. If it is the case that we have to put your child on a waitlist, you will be notified of this as well and we will do our best to get your child placed into a room promptly.

Step 4: Optional Donation

Would you like to make a donation to help grow the Side By Side ministry in Rochester? 

Donations to our organization are used in two ways.
  1. To offset the cost of childcare to ensure a low cost for all members AND providing scholarships to those who identify as experiencing financial hardship.
  2. To supplement our income which helps with our operational expenses which include printing, maintaining our website, collecting payments, etc.

Please click in the box below to reveal the drop-down options. Thank you for supporting our ministry and supporting our sisters.
I would like to donate the following amount to the General Fund:

"For where two or three are gathered in my name,
​there am I among them."
