Kids + Youth

We have children’s programs that are fun and engaging to inspire those little minds from ages 0-12. And for those a little older, we get together weekly to hang out with friends!

Rest assured that your kids are safe with us.

All of our volunteers are screened and trained according to our Safe Church policy.

Sundays

Nursery and Toddlers (ages 0 – 3)

We offer a safe and welcoming environment for your little one during our Sunday morning services. We have a beautiful Nursery & Toddler Room, filled with lots of toys, on the main floor at the north end of the building.

When you come for the first time, we will ask you to fill out one of our visitor forms and let us know if your child(ren) has any special care needs (e.g. allergies). We ask is that you remain in the building at all times. Then feel free to enjoy the service!

Children (ages 4 – 12)

Our kids enjoy both the adult service and their own time upstairs in their classrooms. Your kids will start in the worship service with you, until they are dismissed part way through the service.

They will then head upstairs to participate in a program designed just for them. Our teachers use a Bible-based curriculum filled with stories, activities, and games. We strive to introduce kids to the love of Jesus and teach them spiritual truths that will last a lifetime.

Registration
All visitors are asked to fill out a visitor form for their child. So give yourself an extra 5 minutes before service.

Later, we will enter your child’s information into our computerized check-in system, so next time you come, you can quickly check in for them.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Children’s and Youth Director Rebecca at rebecca@eastridge.ca.

Weekdays

KidsConnect (ages 4 – 12)

Tuesdays   |   6:30 – 7:45pm
At KidsConnect, we’re about connecting kids with Jesus and each other! Kids get to play games, make crafts, listen to Bible stories, watch puppet skits, and sing songs. We also have fun nights where we wear the craziest hair-dos or dress up in our favourite PJs!

Moms feel free to join our women’s Tuesday night Bible study, while your kids are having a blast upstairs.

Scripture Union (SU) Sports Club (ages 7 – 12)

Thursdays   |   6:30 – 8pm   |   Cancelled

Do you have a budding athlete in your home? Or do you just want a place for your kids to get out all their energy? Your kids will get the chance to learn how to play their favourite sports and learn some new ones. They’ll also learn how to follow Coach Jesus, on and off the court.

Cost is $55/child returning; $75/child for new registration, spaces limited.

Youth (Grades 7 – 12)

Fridays    |   7 – 9pm

Bring a friend with you, make some new ones, create awesome memories, and most importantly, learn from God’s Word. We meet from September to June in The Hub (2nd floor, above the northwest entrance). We hang out, play games, and participate in a devotional time. We also plan fun events off the church site, throughout the school year. Summer activities happen too, so keep in touch with Rebecca for the summer schedule.
