Children's Discipleship

East Woods Children's Discipleship Ministry builds a joyous and loving relationship with God through knowing Jesus Christ and discovering God's Word in the Holy Bible. 


By pouring into your child’s life, partnering with parents, and cheering families on as they grow spiritually, we want kids to know how God’s Word fits into their lives, to learn how to talk to God, and to build friendships that will last. 


As children learn about God's teachings, they will discover their place in the church, how to apply these teachings to their lives and become true disciples of Jesus Christ.

OUR  VISION

East Woods' Youth and Children Discipleship Ministry commits to bringing children into our community where they can:

  • belong to the family of God
  • celebrate - grow in their relationship with Jesus
  • care - learn to serve others
  • connect - share Jesus with their world
