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!
Digital Tools help us partner together.
We’re on Facebook! Look for Easter Kid’s Ministry
JAM! - Jesus And Me
JAM (Jesus and Me) on Sundays helps kids to grow in faith and carry on the work of Jesus Christ. JAM time includes an engaging Bible story video and a small group time creating a safe place for kids to talk with peers and a trusted small group leader about God. We learn Bible verses, pray, and do activities that promote movement, creation, imagination, play and exploration.

FIRST COMMUNION CLASS
Next class November 2025.
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. Registration is non-refundable and non-transferable. Questions? Rachelle Gill at rgill@easter.org.
This is how we encourage Easter families to talk about faith at home.
SHARE your highs and lows
READ a Bible verse or story
TALK about how the Bible reading might relate to your highs and lows
PRAY for one another’s highs and lows
BLESS one another
