Welcome to Easter Kids!
You don’t have to do this whole parenting thing alone. Easter Church wants to partner with you to connect your kids to God’s bigger story. Together (home and church) we can help kids find and follow Jesus. Our goal is to partner with you to nurture faith in kids and have fun while doing it!
We’re on Facebook look for Easter Kid’s Ministry!
Please find our 2026 Kid’s Ministry Calendar below.
It includes JAM dates and special events.
JAM! - Jesus And Me Registration is open for 2026/27!
JAM (Jesus and Me) is a time for kids to connect with their Small Group Leader (SGL) and other kids in their group; watch a Bible story video, play games, learn Bible verses, create together and pray. JAM is designed for kids Age 4 - kids in Grade 5 and there's a Parent + Child group for kids who are Age 3. (Age as of September 1st, 2026)
JAM has started and goes through Sunday, April 25th.
There will be no JAM on October 18th, December 20th, December 27th and March 28th.
FIRST COMMUNION CLASS
Is your child ready for their First Communion? Parents attend this class along with their child to learn all about the significance, history (even the logistics) of taking Communion. Traditionally at Easter, kids receive their First Communion in 5th grade but kids can attend this class anytime their parents feel they’re ready.
Classes are available two times a year - fall and spring. Cost is $10 which goes toward a stole for the child to decorate and wear at their First Communion Celebration.
1st communion class on November 12th at 6:30pm
OPEN GYM TIME FOR KIDS!
Starts Thursday, October 1st!
Thursdays 9:30 to 11 AM
October - April
No JAM 'n Play on 11/26, 12/24, 12/31 & 4/1
Kids 5 and under (with their adult) are invited to run, play, and hear a Bible story together at circle time. Coffee + tea are served. Invite your friends!
Spark!
Faith, Friendship and Fun for Fourth and Fifth Graders
A new opportunity for 4th and 5th graders to spark their faith, build Christ-centered friendships, and have fun! We plan to hold about five events during the school year, featuring simple faith messages and activities that let young Christians explore their faith and hear stories of God's love.
Parents can drop their 4th and 5th graders off, and pick them up at 5PM, or stick around and help with snacks, activities, and cleanup if you are interested. We're looking for a couple more parent leaders who can help coordinate activities, snacks, and faith stories for the rest of the year.

BAPTISMS
Thinking about Baptism? First, attend a Baptism Class. Meet with Pastors, Easter staff and other families to learn more about baptism and what it means. Classes are held in February, May, August, and November. Second, schedule a date for a Baptism Celebration!
