Jesus said, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God … And He took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.” Mark 10:14, 16
Our desire is to reach children for Jesus Christ through quality, age-appropriate teachings and creative activities designed to build a strong spiritual foundation in the life of each child. We love kids and strive to provide an atmosphere of learning in which the children are exposed to biblical truth so that they may know, love, and serve the Lord Jesus Christ
Nursery Safety
Your Children’s safety is important to us.
|
The Nursery uses a sign-in system to ensure the security and well being of your child. |
Each child receives an ID tag. Parents are given a matching ID tag which must be presented to pick-up your child. | Nursery Staff wear matching shirts with the EBC Nursery Logo on them so they can be easily identified. |
| All of our Nursery Staff are trained in Infant and Child CPR and Basic First Aid. | Criminal Background checks are performed on all Nursery Staff and children’s volunteers. | Copies of our policies can easily be picked up at the church office by any parent. |

Mini camps provide an environment that encourages Christian growth in spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social and physical development. It’s a great place for children to have fun and learn different skills while worshiping God!
