Partnering with Parents

Raising kids comes with endless questions, and you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Our Kids Ministry provides a welcoming space where children can make friends, explore big questions, and discover their worth in Jesus—while giving you a space to connect with others and dive deeper in your own faith. With background-checked volunteers and secure check-in, we’ve created an environment where kids feel safe, seen and are excited to return

Check in & Safety

Safety is important to us as families entrust their children to our care each week. Our trained staff and ministry teams are screened, have passed a background check, and have taken Ministry Safe training and Eastminster-specific training.
 
On your first visit, we will help you register your child. This helps us get to know your family, meet your needs and keep your little ones safe.
Room check-in begins 15 minutes before the start of each service and remains open throughout the service. You may check in via an iPad at one of our Kids hallway kiosks. Upon check-in, you will receive a name tag for your child and a receipt for yourself.
You will be required to present this receipt before your child can be returned to you. For the safety of your child, older children may not pick up a child under five years of age, even by presenting the receipt.
Please make sure all items your baby or child has are properly labeled (diapers, bottles, bags, pacifiers). If a child is upset and not able to be consoled, or if we need your presence in your child’s room, we will notify you by text message.

Wednesday Nights

Registration is not required

 

At Eastminster, our “Generation to Generation” value means we’re committed to passing faith to the next generation – and that starts with you! Serving with Eastminster Kids is the perfect way to invest in little ones while showing them Jesus’ love, and it’s a great example of service for your own children.

Flexible Options All service opportunities are team-based, giving you flexibility in how often you serve or when you need time off. We’ll make sure your role fits your schedule!
