We’ve got online videos for Sunday mornings and throughout the week on our YouTube channel!
Check out the additional resources below for family devotionals and other fun activities.
Kid Connection is OPEN during the 11 am service!
You will need to reserve a spot for each child that will be in attendance. Masks are required for kids 5 and older, and strongly encouraged for ages 3-5.
Kid Connection (6 weeks-5th grade) provides unique experiences for your child during both worship services. So parents, feel free to attend the worship service AND that group you want to check out! Your kids are going to have an amazing time.
Fusion (4th-5th grade) meets at 9 am only so they can worship with family at 10:45 am.
We exist to point kids to Christ. Prayer, Biblical teaching, and compelling worship help kids grow in their relationship with God.
The church was never meant to be exclusive. We design intentional events and opportunities for our friends and neighbors to meet and learn about Jesus. We strive for an invitational culture that welcomes people into our space and also goes into surrounding neighborhoods and communities to meet people where they are.
Come as you are! Just like Jesus, we love kids and adults as they are, and trust God to produce authentic change in our hearts and stories. Belonging as you are is the beginning to genuine change.
Parents are on the front lines! We partner with parents to help them raise kids who know and follow God. We support parents with resources to connect, engage, and equip them to continue the lessons and learning at home. Keeping parents well informed about our ministry and events is a top priority.
Fun, excitement, and silliness encourage kids to connect and return. We aren’t afraid of messes if it helps with our mission! Creativity, playfulness, and laughter are essential to God’s Kingdom.
We are not just childcare. We strive for one scope, one curriculum, and one sequence. Every minute is intentionally structured, and we strive for excellence in everything we do. We use kid focus groups to grow and stay relevant. First impressions matter. We are constantly improving our website, curriculum, videos, classrooms, and connections team to ensure every family’s experience is remarkable.
We truly value and genuinely care for our team members. We help people of all ages find where they are gifted because we come alive when we serve in our areas of giftedness. Kid Connection has service opportunities that fit with any gifting. No one is too young to serve! We create opportunities for kids to serve their peers, too. Serving is significant and activates faith in our lives.
Babies are never too young to start hearing about Jesus! We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with lots of people who love (almost) nothing more than rocking babies on Sunday mornings.
Name someone with a better imagination than a 2-5 year-old. We’ll wait.
Children in our preschool rooms learn basic Biblical truths and also have plenty of time for play and other activities to expend energy in healthy ways.
Kids get time in both small groups and large groups. In small groups, kids learn to apply God’s word to their lives – the Bible is even relevant to 7 year-olds! In the large groups, kids worship together and learn about the Bible in fun and creative ways.
Kids get time in both small groups and large groups, learning to apply God’s word to their lives. Fusion is open during the 9 am service only – our Fusion students are encouraged to worship with their parents at 10:45 am.
KC Friends help children age 3 through 5th grade with special needs participate fully on Sunday morning.
Advance registration is required. Please contact kidconnection@efree.org prior to bringing your child.
AWANA happens on Wednesday nights for kids aged 3-6th grade. Ever run into a 10 year-old who knows more Bible verses than you? That’s an AWANA kid!
We want to partner with you in being intentional about helping your children grow in faith! One way we would like to do this is through the Parent Cue App from Orange.
This App provides simple cues throughout the week to remind us to pause and make the most of everyday moments with our children. This App is also a good tool to share what we are teaching your children during their worship times with us.

It’s hard for kids to focus on sermons sometimes (it’s hard for adults to focus on sermons sometimes!) so here’s a printable sermon notes template that can help to focus your kid’s attention and, more importantly, help them learn something new about God!
