Question by geetargirl05: What is the legal child to adult ratio for a church children's ministry?

We supervise children from the ages of 5-12 on Sunday mornings. Usually we have 15-25 children with 2-4 adult workers. In a few weeks we are hosting a conference and are planning on that number being at least doubled. I wanted to find out if there is a legal child to adult ratio for churches who care for children, or if that ratio only applies to daycare centers. I want to make sure we have all our bases covered legally and for the safety of the children. Thanks!
We are in Pierce County, Washington State.
