Eastside Kids

We take the responsibility of caring for your children very seriously. Once inside Eastside Kids, your children will be in a safe, loving environment interacting with peers and well-qualified adults. We utilize interactive yet intentional lesson plans that teaches about God in ways children will remember. There is personal application in every lesson! The lessons teach the children to both learn and experience God with emphasis on the good news of Jesus Christ through creative activities and personal application. Our goal is to disciple our children. Disciples grow in their walk with Jesus, live out their faith and make other disciples.

After the service is over, parents come to the classroom to pick up their child(ren). We do not dismiss children without a parent present. Keeping your child(ren) safe is very important to us. We will provide you and your child(ren) with a name tag with a specific code that allows your child(ren) to only be picked up by the person with the sticker. Our teachers will make sure the code matches to ensure your child(ren) go home with the right person!

The children’s ministry team has a passion for discipling children on Sunday mornings and throughout the week. They are dedicated to providing an environment where children learn about God and experience a relationship with Him as well as equipping parents to take on the primary task of discipleship.
