Kids’ Kompass: Worship just for kids - Grades 1st-5th
Every Sunday, 9:30 and 11:00 AM
Kids’ Kompass is the worship portion of our 1st-5th grade elementary programming. This is a fast paced service including music, drama, offering, games, and observance of the Lord’s Supper.
Children receive “powerbucks” for bringing their Bible or bringing a visitor, as well asearning them during activities in Kids' Kompass. Powerbucks can be spent at the end of worship in our Kids’ Kompass Store.

Our Kids’ Kompass Krew is a group of third, fourth and fifth graders who serve by helping with greeting, audiovisual, drama, and other aspects of our worship time. Applications are accepted for the Krew in May.
Bible Classes
Bible classes provide an opportunity for elementary children to study the Bible. Through a series of hands-on activities students will learn Bible stories, how to use the Bible, and life applications. Bible classes are offered during the 11:00 service for children whose parents stay for Adult Bible Fellowship. For the location of your child’s Bible Class, please check at the Elementary Registration Window. Children who stay for both hours of programming will be taken to their second hour class.
REVIVE: First Wednesday of each month, September-May
Elementary
students grades 1st-5th will meet together once a month, September through May, for REVIVE. At 6:30 they will worship with their families in the sanctuary and then be dismissed to go to the gym for acitvities geared for them.
Before the service starts, parents are to sign the children in at the Kiosks as on Sunday morning. Pick up will be at the gym.
Visitors
First time visitors will be asked to fill out a short registration form. They will be given a visitor ID tag and their child will have a matching one. If parents are needed during the service, the number on your child’s ID will flash up on the screen. If you return to Eastside, you will be able to check your child in through our automated check-in system.
Creative Camp

It is an opportunity for children to select from three tracks of activities, in which they participate each evening. In addition, they participate in high energy worship, visit the mission room, participate in recreation and have a snack.
