Infant/Preschool

Welcome to Children’s Ministry of Easter! Your child is beginning to discover the wonder of God’s love, and learning to share God’s love with others. We invite you to participate in our activities we provide for your infant, toddler, or preschool student. If you are interested in a school-year preschool program, please visit Easter Preschool.

Infant Toddler Center

This is a place where children under age four can freely explore and discover God’s love through the nurturing of the ITC staff and volunteers. The ITC provides care at both Easter locations during worship services. Each child is required to be signed in by parent/guardian, and wear a nametag that has a matching number tag for the parent to bring back when picking up child. If child is new to the ITC, an info/emergency card will need to be completed. Please label all personal items brought into the ITC, like diaper bag. No food or snacks are allowed due to allergies.

Welcome Wagon

If you will soon be blessed with a new baby, please contact the church office at 651-452-3680 when your new bundle of joy arrives. The Welcome Wagon Ministry of Easter provides support to families with new babies. Or if you would like to be part of this ministry to congratulate and help new moms and dads, please contact Erin Wolfe at 651-454-5177.

Pray-n-Play

Parents join a playgroup with your child(ren) age 0-5 years old on Fridays from 9:30 a.m.–11 a.m. during the school year. Enjoy adult conversation while your children play in the Great Room. Pray and Play is a time for your kids to run, jump, and explore. Also, a circle time is offered, which includes a story, songs, and prayer. Bring your friends and join the fun, plus it’s free!
