Kids Ministry at Eastside Christian Church
At Eastside our kids (infant through 4th grade) experience safe, age-appropriate environments where they learn about Jesus in a creative and relevant way.
We would love to see you and your family visit Eastside.
Your first visit
Here's what to expect when visiting Eastside Kids for the first time!
When you arrive, you will head over to the Guest Pointe counter. There we will meet your family, check your child into our system, and then one of our volunteers will lead you and your child to their age-appropriate room.
Upon checking in for the first time, we will ask for the following personal information (NOTE: We value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone):
- Parent/guardian name(s)
- Child's name
- Child's birthdate
- Home address
- Phone number
- Any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your children
How check-in works
Nursery (0 through 2 years old)
Look for our Pink banner to locate the Nursery check in. Someone will help you print off three stickers for security. One Sticker you place on your child, the 2nd sticker is for their diaper bag, and you must keep the 3rd sticker to pick up your child from our area. Once you have your check-in stickers you can walk your child to their classroom and drop them off with our trained volunteers.
Preschool (3 years old through Kindergarten)
Look for the purple banner to locate our Preschool Check-in. It is located on the right-hand side by the gym. Parents will print their own stickers. It will print two stickers, one for your child and one for you to keep in order to pick up your child at the end of service. You will walk your child back to their classroom.
Eastside Elementary (1st through 4th grades)
Look for the Green Elementary banner to locate the check in. Check-in is located on the left by Guest Point. Parents will print their own stickers. It will print two stickers, one for your child and one for you to keep in order to pick up your child at the end of service.
After Service
After the service is complete, you will return to your child’s room and show your tag in order for your child to be released back to you. If you lose your tag we will have to see your ID to verify you are approved to pick up and we will print you another tag.
During Service
In the event that we need to contact you during the service, we will text you at the phone number provided on your child's tag. Please make sure to have your phone out in case we need to get in touch with you during the service. We ask that you exit the auditorium immediately and look for a staff member or volunteer who will direct you to your child’s room.
Nursing Room
Each Eastside service offers childcare for infants. But we also have a Nursing Room available for mothers with infants. This room has a separate space in the bathroom closest by door 4. If you need help locating this area, find one of our volunteers and they'll lead the way!
