Children

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

The Children's Ministries of EFC exists to encourage children to have a firm knowledge of God’s Word and a desire to follow Christ in all areas of their lives. We want them to know how God has revealed Himself through His Word and to know more than just a Bible story. For that reason, our curriculum is God-centered. We also value Scripture memorization and the practical application of God’s Word. Equally important, we want children to see the love of Jesus modeled by caring adults. We feel that the primary spiritual influence in a child’s life should be his parents. With that in mind, we will do all we can to support you in your child’s spiritual training.

A closer look: Last Sunday 

Last Sunday  (10/13) We will be in Acts 13-14, "Paul Became a Missionary"

Paul shared the good news about Jesus with anyone who would listen. Many people believed in Jesus, and the church grew. The Holy Spirit wants us to tell others about Jesus so they can be saved from their sins.

A closer look:  This Sunday

This Sunday (10/20) "Jesus Can Forgive Anyone" We will be in 2 Corinthians 5

Jesus can forgive anyone. When we trust in Jesus, God forgives our sin and invites us into His family. He calls us to tell others about Him so they might believe in Jesus and follow Him.

During our Discipleship Hour, we have childcare for children from age 2 up to 5th grade.
