Children are a precious gift from God, entrusted to our care. We offer a safe, clean environment for their spiritual, physical, and emotional growth. Our rooms are equipped with age-appropriate toys and activities, and our nursery attendants genuinely care for every child's well-being.
Our nursery, located on the lower level of the church, welcomes children every Sunday morning. Trained adults assist in providing a loving atmosphere for all.

Children K-5th engage in fun activities that teach, re-enact, and bring the Bible to life! Our mission is to build faith and strong Christian friendships. Sunday mornings offer Praise and Worship, and Small Groups for children K–5th and Children’s Church during the 11:00 service.

For mission-minded children, we have CIA for Kids  – Christians In Action! This group of 2nd-5th graders meet monthly to serve in our church, in the community, and in the world.

East Cross Student Ministries focuses on helping students experience God’s love and learn what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

On Sunday mornings, our students gather for fellowship, discipleship, and worship from 9:45-10:45 AM. During the school year, Forge meets on Wednesday evenings after school for dinner, fun, games, worship, and fellowship. Students then break into small groups to discuss life, faith, and spiritual growth together!

Small Groups play an integral role in our church family, fostering spiritual growth through discipleship, connection, evangelism, and service.

These groups consist of smaller gatherings of people who meet regularly—whether weekly, monthly, or seasonally. With a variety of options available, there’s a Small Group suited to your personal interests or stage of life! 

The church’s missions and outreach partnerships are dedicated to bringing the gospel and the healing power of Jesus to a world in need. Through these partnerships, we strive to be the hands and feet of Christ, reaching out to those in our local community of Bartlesville and extending our impact across the globe. We believe that every believer has a unique role to play in fulfilling the Great Commission, and we invite you to join us in this important work. Take the first step today by partnering with us in this mission to share God’s love and healing with the world.

Join East Cross for Family Meals, offered on the second Wednesday of every month at 5:30 PM. These gatherings provide a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a warm, home-cooked meal in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re coming alone, with friends, or as a family, you’ll be met with open arms and smiling faces. We invite you to take a break from your busy routine, share in meaningful conversations, and create memories with people who care about you. Everyone is welcome, so come hungry and leave filled—not just with food but with joy and belonging.
