We desire to help our families lead their children in seeing, savoring, and sharing the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” (Deuteronomy 6:4-7)
The mission of Grace Kids is simple: we want to see you and your children love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. We believe that it is primarily the responsibility of moms and dads to help their children grow in their love for Jesus at home. But we also believe that the Church and all its ministries play a vital role in equipping and encouraging parents in this most vital task.
That it why it is our desire and conviction to encourage and equip you as parents for discipleship so that you can help your children see, savor, and share the Lord Jesus Christ.
To this end we strive to support you in the hard, edifying, and joyful process of discipling your children.
Only the gospel can change children and their families so that they can come to See, Savor, and Share the Lord Jesus.
Therefore, Grace Kids strives to:
When and Where
Grace Kids gathers every week during our 10am Sunday worship service. Child registration and check-in begins at 9:45 am.
Grace Kids is separated into two different ministry areas. Each ministry area is made up of smaller classes based on child age and grade.
Rainforest (birth to pre-K), check-in upstairs
Main Street (K-6) check-in downstairs
Curriculum
It is our conviction that the gospel of Jesus Christ is to be front and center in all that we teach our children. We are currently walking through The Gospel Project for Kids with our RainForest kids. The pastors of Grace Church have all recognized the gospel-saturated nature of this curriculum and fully support our families use of it in the faith-training of our children. The Gospel Project for Kids helps our children see that all of the scriptures are pointing us to the greatness of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We look forward to the opportunity to come alongside you as you seek to help your children see the supreme worth of Jesus as communicated in the gospel!
SAFETY
The spiritual and physical safety of our children is of the utmost importance to us in Grace Kids. All our Faith-Leaders undergo a criminal background check and sit down one-to-one with one of our ministry leaders prior to serving in Grace Kids. Grace Church has an onsite safety team that regularly walks through all of our kids ministry areas. We have multiple safety polices and procedures in place that are revisited often with our leadership team members. Our Faith-Leaders affirm our Article of Beliefs and are regularly involved in corporate worship and Christian community throughout the week.
