Bringing moms and dads and kids from kindergarten through 6th grade together before our morning service, KIDstuf is an extension of everything we do to minister to families. Using comedy, sketches, zany situations, great music, and Biblical truths, KIDstuf is full of laughs, fun, and great moments. But it isn't really for the kids (but don't tell them that). It's really for the parents, because it helps them connect to what their children learn in UpStreet and Noah's Ark 2X2.

Tedd & Eric - The Hosts
KidStuf co-hosts Tedd and Eric have an unusual friendship. Eric continually tries to keep Tedd on tract, but is frequently pulled into Tedd`s crazy plans! Their two different approaches to learning and applying our KidStuf virtues will keep you laughing all week long!

Tedd & Eric are played by Forest Groves`s Tedd Epp and Eric Braun.

Agnes Whipsnade
Agnes published HOOKed on Physics at age 8. She is interested in science and loves to study. Her awkward social skills sometimes cover up her wisdom and understanding. Gordo and Agnes have a not-so-friendly competition for the science fair and school projects, but they secretly like each other too.

Anges is played by Marley Berge.

Cammie

She is the most popular cheerleader in school. She’s been captain of the Junior Varsity Cheerleading Squad for years. She loves the mall and nail polish and is always consumed with the latest fashion trends. Her vanity can often show us the truth about dealing with problems. She has a genuine concern for people, but it is extremely difficult for her to put others first.

Cammie is played by Rebecca Friesen

Gordon (Gordo) Finkenhoeffer

Loves science, but is somewhat socially challenged. He’s awkward, but has managed to keep his self-esteem intact. His intelligence can lead him to terrific insight or stupidity. Gordo has an internal clock that ticks a bit faster than most. At first glance, he might be called a “nerd.”

Gordo is played by Brady Friesen

Grandpa Henry

Henry is Mrs. Finkenhoeffer’s father & Gordo’s grandfather. He is retired, but loves to stay active in community service projects, handyman jobs, and unusual activities for someone of his generation. He’s older but very physically active. He knows and appreciates his life history, but loves to hear about current trends in culture. He and Gordo share an underappreciated sense of humor.

Grandpa Henry is played by Rob Walter

Kit (not Kitty) Wagner

Kit is the daughter of a self-improvement guru. She is in a permanent “take charge” mode. Her clipboard and Palm Pilot guide her heavily scheduled day. She always has a better way to do something, but readjusts (grudgingly) when she must. Part drill sergeant, part kid, she struggles through the virtues.

Kit is played by Tori Braun

Todd

Sees the world a little differently from most people. He often mixes up Bible stories with movies or books. He loves his guitar, Bessie. He always wears a tie-dyed shirt. His “surfer-tinged” manner of speech is hard to place, but sets him apart. His simplicity often leads him to wisdom; however, it never happens logically.

Todd is played by Tyler Friesen

Tyler

Zany, high-energy character. He’s a game show host trapped in a kid’s body. He’s highly suggestive and often tries to invent incredible “labor saving” machines. His enthusiasm can lead him into danger or add an element of outrageous encouragement. The phrase “tightly wound” could accurately describe Tyler’s demeanor.

Tyler is played by Tyrel Braun

Bart the Bard

Bart has a long way to go on his spiritual journey. He’s the closest to being the “bad guy.” He is the neighborhood bully. He’s big, he’s strong, but he has a wonderful ironic twist: he writes poetry that doesn’t rhyme. While he hasn’t adopted most of the virtues into his own life, he’s interested in the idea of God being bigger and stronger than anything else in the world.
Bart is played by Colin Wilms.
