children's   ministry

The desire and purpose of our Children's Ministry is to glorify God by providing children and families the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to respond by faith in Him and to live in obedience to Him.
EBF offers a comprehensive program for children from birth through 5th grade.

10:30 - Sunday School

ages  2-1/2  through  5th  grade

We offer age-appropriate classes for all children from age 2-1/2 through 5th grade. The main teaching time is during the 10:30 hour.  Our 2-1/2 and 3-year-olds use "The Jesus Storybook Bible" curriculum by Sally Lloyd-Jones
  • 4-year-olds through Grade 4 use "The Gospel Story for Kids" by Marty Machowski.​​​​
  • 5th Graders are taken through a special Bible overview class that helps them understand how God's miraculous plan flows from Genesis to Revelation; the curriculum is called "Children's Firm Foundations: Creation to Christ."
Memory verses and teaching points are listed each week in the church bulletin and on the sidebar to the upper left. We encourage parents to discuss with children what they have learned in Sunday School and help them to memorize the memory verses. This opportunity is vital in helping children make the instruction given in Sunday School an integral part of their lives.

ages  birth  through   2-1/2

A well-staffed, safe nursery is available. The nursery is intended for children from infancy through 2-1/2 years. There is an "observation room" where mothers of newborns can choose to keep children with them behind privacy glass while they participate in the corporate worship service.

The nursery is regularly sanitized, and no toys that have been put in a child's mouth are returned to the toy chests before they have been cleaned. We ask that parents who have children that are experiencing illness not place them in the nursery. Most church events also offer nursery and preschool care. 


​You can volunteer to help staff the nursery, decorate, or donate toys, diapers, books, and other much needed items by contacting Susie Else through the church office.

Ministry  Goals

  • To partner with parents in presenting the Bible to their children as God's story centered on its hero, Jesus
  • To teach kids to hide God’s Word in their hearts
  • To teach the Bible to children as the infallible Word of God
  • To create a joyful and peace-filled place to learn about Jesus and know that they are loved, cared about, and significant persons made in God's image
Parent Call System
EBF has a parent call system that will display the family number of any child that is in need of his or her parents during services. EBF regular attenders are given a family number that is the same for each of their children. Visiting families are given a "guest number," and may request a permanent family number if they decide to become part of the EBF body.
