We’re passionate about helping kids grow—from birth through adolescence. Our desire is to partner with families to help the next generation know and follow Jesus.

Each week, children experience safe, engaging, and age-appropriate environments where they can learn about the God who loves them. Through Bible teaching, worship, and fun activities, kids are introduced to the truth of Scripture in ways they can understand and apply.

We would love for your family to join us!

WHY KIDS MINISTRY MATTERS

1. It Matters for Kids

Children need consistent opportunities to hear and understand the message of the Bible. Kids ministry provides environments specifically designed for them to learn about Jesus in ways that connect with their stage of development.

Our goal is to help children understand the life-changing message of the Gospel in a way that is clear, engaging, and meaningful.

2. It Matters for Families

A strong kids ministry continues beyond Sunday morning.

As children learn about Scripture, they often bring home questions, stories, and conversations that encourage the entire family to grow in faith together. These moments create opportunities for parents and children to talk about God’s truth and apply it to everyday life.

3. It Matters for the Church

Children bring joy, excitement, and wonder to the life of the church. Their enthusiasm for learning about God reminds us of the beauty of trusting Christ with childlike faith.

Jesus taught that the kingdom of God belongs to those who come to Him with humility and trust (Mark 10:14–15). Being around children discovering God’s truth reminds the entire church of the joy of following Jesus.

Our Commitment to Your Kids

When your child participates in kids ministry at Eastgate, they will experience:

• Safe and secure environments

• Age-appropriate Bible teaching

• Fun and engaging activities

• Caring leaders who love kids and love Jesus

Our goal is to help every child grow in their understanding of God and begin a lifelong journey of faith.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

When you arrive, one of our friendly volunteers will help you get your family checked in and show you where your child’s class meets.

Because it takes a few minutes to register your family the first time, we recommend arriving about 10 minutes early so we can make the process smooth and stress-free.

Once your children are checked in, we’ll guide you to their classroom and answer any questions you may have.

Our goal is to make your first visit easy, welcoming, and secure for your entire family.

Our Kids Check-In Process

Your child’s safety is a top priority for us. That’s why we use a secure check-in system for all children.

Here’s how it works:

1. Register Your Family
   A volunteer will help you enter basic family information into our secure system.

2. Receive Matching Security Tags
   Your child will receive a printed name tag, and you will receive a matching security tag for pickup.

3. Safe Pickup After Service
   At the end of the gathering, you’ll present your matching tag to pick up your child safely.

All of our kids ministry volunteers are trained and committed to creating a safe and caring environment for every child.
