SAFE

First and foremost, we’re committed to every child’s safety while they are under the care of EKids. This includes only enlisting background-checked and trained volunteers, following secure check-in and check-out procedures, and monitoring the building during our Sunday service via the Security Team.

CLEAN

We’re committed to keeping EKids clean for our Sunday gatherings. This includes cleaning each classroom before and after Sundays, and asking parents to follow our Sick Policy.

FUN

We’re committed to helping kids have fun every week in EKids! This includes games, crafts and bringing in fun volunteers. We often open up opportunities for fun outside of Sunday mornings like: EKids Elementary Nights and Hilltop Summer Camp.

NURTURING

We’re committed to coming alongside parents to nurture your child’s heart for Jesus. This includes helping kids engage in lessons that center on Jesus & the good news of the gospel, and helping equip parents to be the primary discipler in their household.
