Our Purpose: The Eastridge Youth & Family Ministry exists to partner with families in order to create a positive Christian environment where students grow in God's Word, build eternal relationships, and share through ministry to others.
Our youth group is an exciting place to be! 
We have over 100 teenagers in graders 7-12. We go deep in our study of the
Word in Bible classes. We enjoy fellowship in a positive atmosphere with weekly devotionals and monthly activities.
We spend time with each other to focus on God on fall and spring retreats. We share through ministry in monthly service
projects and summer mission trips. We join with other teens for summer camps in Oklahoma and at Harding University.
Blake O'Quin is our High School Minister and Greg Parks is our Junior High Minister. To learn more about our vision for our youth program, you can download this PDF brochure here.
We have over 70 children in our 3rd-6th grade ministry at Eastridge. Every Sunday they rotate through multiple learning environments in our "Footprints of the Faithful" Bible School program, learning the great Bible stories through drama, music, timelines, and memory work. Our dedicated Bible class teachers work with our children every week to pass on the important stories of faith and prepare them for the next level of Bible study that will come as they enter the youth group.
Our JIM Kids enjoy monthly activities designed just for them, too. Service projects, pool parties, bowling, and just spending time with families are some of the events our kids enjoy.
Every summer, we have a camp especially for our JIM Kids ministry. We join with children from other churches for a week of learning, fun, and making lasting friendships. Because Eastridge participates with the same churches for both our children's and teen summer camps, our kids are able to make friendships that can last a lifetime!
There are lots of dedicated teachers and nursery attendants who work with our youngest children every week at Eastridge! In our nursery, our little ones learn about God's love for them. Our children's Bible classes begin the great legacy of teaching Bible stories to our kids from the very beginning.
Each Sunday morning during both worship services, 
we have a special Children's Church for our 2 year olds through 2nd graders.
COOL Kids (Crazy Over Our Lord) reinforces the morning Bible class lessons with puppets, songs, drama, and other fun activities.
Again, a dedicated group of volunteers works hard each week to bring this program together.
Our children's ministries at Eastridge truly pave the way for these future servants in God's kingdom!
