Frequently Asked Questions

At EastLake Kids, we are extremely excited to welcome our first-time guest!! We want them to feel extra special from the moment they walk in the door. To help us recognize them, we give them a cool goodie bag at check-in and their name tags have a special star. Our team, including staff and volunteers, all know to look for these stars in a child’s name tag to go the extra mile to welcome, comfort, and assist our first-time guests.

From the minute a child sets foot in EastLake Kids until they're picked up to head home, our goal is to make sure they have the best hour of their week at our program. We want their first experience with us to be easy, fun, and unforgettable!

To ensure that our curriculum is tailored to the needs of each age group, we encourage children to attend the service in their appropriate classroom. However, if a child feels uncomfortable attending alone, they are welcome to bring a friend or family member to join them. 

To fully engage with the lesson being taught, we ask that both children attend the service for the youngest child's age group. This way, the lesson will be accessible and meaningful for both children, and they will have the opportunity to learn and grow in their faith together.

Lots of parents get in on the action with EastLake Kids, and we love it when new volunteers join our team! If you've got a heart for investing in kids' lives, we want you! Check out our steps to becoming an EastLake Kids volunteer here and get ready to have a blast. We're always excited to welcome new faces and work together to create an amazing experience for our kids!

Yes, of course! 

Child Dedication is an exciting opportunity for parents to present their children to the Lord. We are excited to walk alongside you in your decision to raise your children to know and love Jesus. EastLake Kids and EastLake Church will partner with you in your child’s spiritual growth. From birth through high school, we are with you!

Child Dedication is for birth through 7 years of age. After they turn 8, they may choose to participate in water baptisms.

To learn more about what Child Dedication means at EastLake Church check out our child dedication fact sheet. For more information about Child Dedication please email us at dedications@eastlake.church.
