Eternity Kids
Eternity Kids is a place where kids discover God’s love, grace, and forgiveness as they begin their relationship with Jesus. The eKids is a time for praise and worship, engaging activities, a memorable Bible lesson, lively games, and prayer time! The Kids Room is at the top of the stairs to the left of the family check-in. Eternity Kids is for school age children K-5th.
Eternity Kids Junior is a place for kids age 1-4 where kids can play and encounter Jesus. The Junior rooms are on the main level just left of the family check-in desk.
Levi Roose | Children’s Pastor
Pastor Levi leads his life through grace and truth. He’s constantly experiencing new ways of God’s provision and opening doorways to new faith-filled adventures. After committing to a college, he dropped out to find his calling. After much prayer, faith, and serving, God opened an opportunity for him to be the Kids Pastor at Eternity Church! His focus is to show children how exciting and powerful God can be! They will experience new friendships, growth, and the overwhelming love of God every week!
He loves to spend his time in prayer, drinking coffee, sports, and with his wife Cassidy. If he had to explain his passion in one sentence it would be: Spreading the love of Jesus to the souls of every child on Earth.
Beth Hartstack | Early Childhood Director
Pastor Beth is passionate about living her life to honor and glorify God in every space He puts her in. She’s worked with children in many different settings. Prior to being brought on staff at Eternity, she was a full-time nanny serving in the kids rooms. and at the Wild Youth. She felt the Holy Spirit stirring in her to quit her job as He was putting ministry on her heart, so she did!
Outside of Eternity you’ll likely find her reading, drinking all the coffee, working out and spending time with her family and friends. She believes that if we can get kids excited about coming to church and learning about Jesus, the Lord will build a hunger in them for more of Him as they grow! She believes it’s crucial to build a strong foundation in each little and is excited about partnering with parents on this journey. Each week they will have the opportunity to worship, learn, play, make friends, and snack (because everyone knows a good snack makes everything better)!
Michael Reed | K-3rd Grade Director
Michael has a burning passion for the Lord and for the next generation. He is such a joy to be around and I hope that every one of you gets the chance to meet him!

The Champions Ministry
Eternity Church loves your children and we want to minister to each child and their families. The eKids Champions ministry is a “Buddy” system available every Sunday at the 10:30 am service for children ages one through 5th grade with extra needs.
Our eKids Champions ministry focuses on the child and the Holy Spirit. We do not refer to the child by their disability but as a whole person. Our goal is to integrate each child as much as possible into our eKids services, but we do have a separate Champions room available for children that need that area to thrive. We have great adult and youth leaders that are ready to serve in special education and our main focus is sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with them.
If you are interested in using our eKids Champions ministry, you will need to fill out our interest form so we can become familiar with your family. If you know families who might be interested in utilizing this ministry, please share with them that Eternity Church eKids is reaching out to minister to them! You can fill out the form HERE
If you are interested in serving as a “buddy” in our eKids Champions ministry, please fill out our volunteer application form HERE for adult form and HERE for the minor form.
If you have any questions about the ministry, serving, or the interest form, please contact our eKids pastor, Levi Roose at levi@myeternitydm.com.
SAFETY
A safety team volunteer and on duty police officer are always posted near our Family Check-In station directing families and keeping everyone safe!
When checking in your child, you will receive a set of security stickers, one for you and one for your child. It is important to keep your sticker as it is needed for pick-up.
Picking up your children you will need to present your security sticker to our Safety Team member as you proceed to our rooms to pick up your children. If someone has lost or misplaced their sticker another security sticker can be printed at the Check-Ins station. At our rooms a greeter is ready to gather your kids, take your security sticker and match the information to your children’s security sticker to ensure secure pick up every time!
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
