And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; Colossians 1:9-10 (ESV)
Kickstart offers Sunday morning classes for children from birth to fifth grade. Children learn age-appropriate biblical truth, connect with friends, and engage in exciting activities under the supervision of trained volunteers.
Using Lifeway's Bible Studies for Life Curriculum, we walk through Bible stories in the Old and New Testaments, learning about topics such as God, the church and Jesus. For more information on the levels of learning, please visit the Lifeway website.
In addition to this rich curriculum, children get to see the Bible come to life in our Marketplace Room. Through hands-on activities, exciting dramas, authentic food and much more, children will discover that the Bible is not only alive and active, but how it applies to their everyday lives. Marketplace activities take place during the 9:30am class time.

Parents must check in all children (birth to grade 3) at a Kids Ministry kiosk and receive a nametag and pick-up ticket. Each child’s classroom is listed on the nametag. The pick-up ticket with its unique security code must be presented when picking-up a child.
Kids with special needs are warmly welcomed at our church. If your child has a special need, please contact Pastor Jacob Glewen so an individualized plan can be developed to best serve your child.
If your child shows symptoms of illness, please keep them at home. Together, we can provide a clean and healthy environment for our children.

While we do not baptize infants, we do observe Parent-Child Dedications, which are designed to thank God for the blessing of children and ask God to bring the child to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
The Parent-Child Dedication requires parents who have committed their way to the Lord and who are asking for wisdom, direction and grace in their parenting. In a Parent-Child dedication, we also ask the church family to be actively and faithfully involved in helping the parents raise their kids in the nurture and wisdom of God.
We typically hold Parent-Child dedications at least twice each year.
Pastor of Kids Ministries
The Kids Ministry at eFree seeks to help kids grow in knowledge and understanding of God and His word. The Bible is an incredible true story about how the God of the universe created us, loves us, and died for us so that we can be saved. We want kids to experience the love of God each and every Sunday. We teach Biblical truth in engaging, safe, and age appropriate ways, and strive to equip you as the parent to continue discipleship in your home. We look forward to partnering with you as we guide kids to grow in knowledge and love for God.
