Sunday Mornings
Our leaders, along with hundreds of volunteers, lovingly share Jesus in all our age-specific classes during the 8:45, 10:15 & 11:30 a.m. worship services. For specific class locations, visit the Information Center or pick up a LifeBook.
How to Check In to Classes - KidsWorld Connect
We offer secure computer kiosks to help you check all of your children into classes and print their nametags at one time. Your family's login will be based on your thumbprint or phone number. Stop by the visitor's check-in station outside the Community Room on Sundays to have your thumbprint scanned and your information entered. After check-in, you will take your children directly to their classrooms.
Sunday check-in times:
8:30-9:00 a.m.; 9:45-10:30 a.m.; 11:15-11:45 a.m.

 | Gayle Adams, KidsWorld Children's Ministry AssistantNursery(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 DirectorNursery(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. |
 | Joyce Rowland, Nursery/Early Childhood DirectorNursery(317) 849-1261 ext. 2365 Read Bio |I have been a member of E91 since 1972 (when it was still East 49th Street Christian Church) and that’s when I began volunteering in children’s ministry. I taught elementary school and kindergarten for 6 ½ years before starting our family and deciding to stay home with our kids. I became the director of the weekday preschool (now God’s Kids Early Learning Ministry) in 1986 and continued in that position until I became the Nursery/Early Childhood Director in 2002. I am happy to be responsible for all matters concerning babies through 3-year olds and their families as I enjoy getting to know parents and supporting them in their role as the spiritual leaders of their homes. It is also my privilege to supervise the administrative staff of God’s Kids Early Learning Ministry as the program continues to serve families from E91 and the surrounding community. God continues to educate me in His ways and use me here at E91 in ways I would never have imagined. |
