Kids Ministry
Kids Ministry seeks to help kids grow in the knowledge and love of God.
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)

Sunday Morning Classes
Marketplace Room
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.
Kickstart Collective
This third service option focuses on fellowship, worship, and the application of the teaching hour lesson. This large group gathering will include music, crafts, activities, and games and will center on Biblical expressions of worship such as prayer, praise, and Bible reading. Kickstart Collective takes place in the Worship Center during the 11:00am class time.
Kids Ministry Classes (Ages and grades are as of September 1)
Special Needs
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.
Illness
If your child shows symptoms of illness, please keep them at home. Together, we can provide a clean and healthy environment for our children.
Other suggestions:
- Please have your child wash their hands before and after class.
- Have only one parent drop-off and pick-up your child. This will help limit foot traffic and the number of people gathered at classroom entrances and exits before and after the services.
Wednesday evenings, 6:30-8:00 pm
Club Kickstart helps children grow in the knowledge and love of God and his Word by providing relational discipleship, age-appropriate lessons and Scripture memorization in an atmosphere of fun and excitement.
What happens at Club Kickstart?
Large Group Time
Kids gather for Bible teaching, worship, and announcements. The kids will hear the gospel and Biblical truth directly from pastors, missionaries, and leaders.
Small Group Time
Relationships and a sense of belonging develop in small groups as kids huddle up with a consistent leader week after week to discuss Bible lessons, ask and answer important questions, pray together, and memorize Scripture.
Group Activity Time
Fellowship and fun are encouraged through team-building games and activities.
What will kids be learning at Club Kickstart?
Preschool (age 3 by September 1 and those entering 4K)
Younger preschoolers and pre-kindergartners will walk through an introduction to the Bible and answer questions such as, “Who is God, and what has He done for us?” Each week, the children will have a memory verse to work on at home.
5K – Grade 2
Children in these grades will experience an in-depth study of the Bible and learn how God’s big story all fits together. Students will answer questions such as, “What is the Bible? How does it fit together? How does it point to Jesus?” Each week, students will have a memory verse that relates to the lesson and a bonus verse.
Grades 3-5
The older students will work through an introduction to theology. With a general understanding of the Bible’s structure, they’ll now explore its concepts and learn how to apply what they learn to their daily life. Each student is placed in a small group with trained leaders providing discussion, activities, and relational discipleship.
What is the cost?
There are no fees or required purchases for Club Kickstart. We believe that investing in the spiritual growth of our children should be accessible to every family.

Parent & Child Dedication
"For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition that I made to him".
1 Samuel 1:27
While we do not baptize infants, we do observe Parent and 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 and 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 and 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 and Child dedications at least twice each year.
Kids Ministry Team
Jacob Glewen
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.
