MISSION: Learning and living the Way of Jesus together
We Love Kids!
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14 (NIV)
At Element, we create an atmosphere where your child can connect into meaningful relationships with peers and leaders while learning about Jesus.
We serve infants through sixth grade with a fun, age-appropriate environment including songs, games, and teaching.
A Place To Call Home
If this will be your fist time at Element, we want you to feel welcome from the moment you pull into the parking lot. We have a team of volunteers who can’t wait to meet you at the door and guide you through the registration process, give you a tour of our children’s ministry and provide you with an overview of our safety procedures.
Want to save some time? Preregister your family below to get ready for this weekend!
Our Classrooms
Basecamp
(Infants)
Birth-18 Months
Sometimes leaving your baby can be difficult, and that is why we have a team of wonderful, loving volunteers who can give your baby the best care with play and cuddles. If your child needs you, we will page you per your instructions.
Explorers
(Toddlers)
18 Months – 30 Months
These guys are busy! Our Explorers room is an active place where kids are introduced to Jesus through imaginative play, delightful worship, and yummy snacks.
Adventurers/
Pathfinders
(Preschool)
ADVENTURERS: 2 1/2 – 4 year olds
PATHFINDERS: 4 – 5 year olds
Our Adventurers and Pathfinders rooms provide interactive relational time, worship through movement, engaging crafts and activities that engage their senses, & hands-on learning of Bible stories & Jesus-centered truths.
Summit
(Elementary)
1st – 4th Grade
Kids experience so much during this time in their lives. Our Summit room engages kids in Jesus-centered activities, games, worship, and small group time where leaders help them explore the Bible, prayer, and what it means to follow Jesus daily.
Cabin
(Preteen)
5th & 6th Grade
No longer a kid, but not quite a teen, this can be a challenging time. The Cabin offers a safe place for kids to ask questions and find Biblical truths while learning to develop lifelong spiritual disciplines.
Child Safety is our #1 Priority
To ensure the safety of every child in our care, each child is given a name tag with a unique code with listed allergies and/or special needs. The unique code matches the parent tag to ensure that every child is released to the correct person.
Every EKIDS volunteer is required to pass a background check before serving. Amongst our team of volunteers are several public safety and medically trained professionals as well as members of the armed forces.
Our church safety team monitors each service. Once church service begins, our ministry doors remain closed and locked until the end of service.
Every Child Welcome
Every child is “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14)! We aim to include and integrate every child into the classroom. If your child has a special need that will help them to feel included and safe, please contact our children’s ministry team and we will do everything we can to make your child feel comfortable, such as:
-
1:1 buddy
-
Sensory items
-
Special seating
-
Auditory protection
Thank you for learning more about EKIDS; we hope to meet you face to face soon!
