But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."  Matthew 20:14

  Children's Ministry

In the Children's Ministry at East Evangelical Free Church,

"Our Passion is to partner with families to plant the seeds of the Gospel in children, to help them grow as disciples so that they bear fruit for the Lord Jesus."

 

  
 Sunday

Sunday Studies

We have Sunday Studies for all ages. This fall we started FaithWeaver. FaithWeaver weaves together a family’s journey in faith by teaching the same Bible truth to each family member, nursery-age through adults. This way, families can apply Bible truths together in their daily lives, both individually and as a family. We are finding this to be a GREAT fit with our Children’s Ministry Mission statement: “Our passion is to partner with families to plant the seeds of the Gospel in children, to help them grow as disciples so that they bear fruit for the Lord Jesus.”

Children's Church

Each Sunday morning we offer Children's Church for kids ages 3 through 1st grade during the worship service. The children stay with their parents until dismissed from the morning service, then proceed to room 106 where they sing, play games, listen to stories and do crafts which introduce them to the truths of God's word and His love for them. Children's Church meets in Room 106 where parents can pick their children up after the adult worship service.
