Welcome to the Team

Why you matter to Eastgate Kids

You just said yes to one of the most important rooms in our church. Every Sunday, kids from 6 weeks through 5th grade walk into Eastgate Kids — and the way you show up shapes how they experience God this week.

The Mission

Why the mission matters.

13

Research from George Barna shows that by age 13, a person's worldview is largely in place — and it rarely changes for the rest of their life.

"You are not just helping in a room. You are standing in one of the most decisive windows of a person's entire spiritual life."

"Presence over performance. People before process."
What this training is
Eight short modules. Tap through, flip cards, take a quick quiz. About 40 minutes total — go at your pace.
What it isn't
A test. There's no "wrong" pace. We'll walk alongside you on your first few Sundays too.

Things you should walk away from this training with

  • 🎉Know how to have fun with kids. Joy is part of the gospel — if kids aren't laughing, something's off.
  • 🙏A heart that loves God out loud. We model wonder and worship. Kids catch it before they're taught it.
  • 💛A commitment to love people first. Every kid, every parent, every teammate — treated with honor.
  • ⭐Confidence to do your best. Show up prepared, stay engaged, and remember excellence is stewardship.
