KidsWorld Live!
Sundays, 10:15 a.m., The Hall (125)
Children celebrate together in an age-appropriate worship service designed just them! Kids experience high-energy worship, an interactive Bible story lesson, and a live action drama to drive home the message, and then wrap up with small group time to work on lesson application, memory verses, and Bible drills. Weekly lessons follow a monthly theme as children learn a biblical character trait from several applicable viewpoints and angles.

 | Gayle Adams, KidsWorld Children's Ministry AssistantElementary(317) 849-1261 ext. 2360 Read Bio |I came to E91 in 1990 and began working in Children’s Ministry in 1994. I served in Children’s Ministry in various capacities before becoming the Children’s Ministry Assistant in 2000. I believe strongly in children’s ministry so my role brings me joy because the support I give to the ministry team allows them to build a spiritual foundation with children in their most formative years. |

 | Dee Johnson, Special Needs & Deaf Ministry DirectorElementary(317) 849-1261 ext. 2328 Read Bio |I began attending E91 in 1985. I was involved in JRM, Dunamis Class, Choir, Children’s ministry, Bell Choir, Choir and anything else that peaked my interest. Years ago, my husband Brian and I along with five other families started the “ROCK” (Really Outstanding Christian Kids). It was a children’s church that took off and has taken many forms since then. We had a blast serving children at E91. My ministry now is focused on serving individuals with special needs and their families. Having taught special education in the public schools for 18 years, I love connecting families and resources without all the paperwork. E91 is blessed to have many special friends from birth to adults. Count yourself privileged if you are in acquaintance with any of our special friends. I also serve our growing Deaf Church, headed by Rex Brake. All of the members of our Deaf Church have a heart for the Lord and a desire to share Christ with deaf individuals. I count it an honor and a blessing to serve at E91. |
