KIDS & FAMILY

We partner with parents in gospel-centered discipleship of their children. Our aim is to serve you and your children by allowing them to have a safe environment where they can learn about Christ. Sunday morning classes are offered for infants through 4th grade, with 5th graders on up in our worship service.

  • If your child has any trauma or disability we’re happy to help them experience a great time! Contact us ahead of a Sunday and we’ll make every accommodation possible.

  • The primary aim of the nursery and toddler classes is to allow the little ones at Grace Bible the opportunity to play with each other in a safe environment. Our helpers will read books, play alongside, and monitor your children. Toddlers also interact with the same Bible story taught to the older classes, in an age-appropriate manner.

  • For this age we tell the chronological story of scripture each week (even the tough stories) and connect them to a visual aid or craft. Sometimes we sing, and usually we have a rice chex snack!

  • At this stage we continue to tell the stories of scripture but begin to apply the stories to how we care for others around us, even our enemies. We try to have some calm time, but also keep things active for the more antsy ones.

  • Jesus is not just part of the story – HE is the HERO of the story. Every bit of Scripture ultimately points back to the saving work of Jesus’ death on the cross. The kids and families involved in our ministry need to know this! Our curriculum choices and teaching styles reflect a Gospel-Centered worldview and we are unashamed in proclaiming the deep, wonderful truths of the greatest story forever told – The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • We don’t want to simply entertain children, and we’re not here to babysit. We want children to learn about Jesus. The content of the Grace Kids classrooms is geared towards a child’s learning level, with specific lessons they can apply to their lives. Kids are wired to move and interact with their environment; therefore, Grace Kids classes are designed to help kids learn about Jesus through interaction. Lessons about Christ and the Bible will be age appropriate and will help them understand God’s love and plan for their lives.

  • We believe that what happens at home is more important than what happens at church, but that two voices make a greater impact than just a single voice. Grace Kids is partnering with parents by providing resources, support and encouragement as they lead their families from where they are to where God wants them to be. At the end of the day, if parents and church leaders are saying the same thing, a child’s understanding of what’s being taught increases greatly.

  • Every week a team of committed volunteers shows up ready to invest in the lives of our kids and families at Grace Bible Church. From watching infants and babies, to leading preschoolers in song and dance, to leading Elementary-aged classes, volunteers make all the things God has in mind for our ministry a reality. We cannot understate the value and significance of our volunteers and the work they do. We strive to communicate the idea of “ownership” amongst our volunteers.

  • We will provide a safe environment for children to enjoy. We want children to be safe and feel safe, and parents to rest assured that their child is well cared-for while they are in the service. For this reason, we obtain background checks on every volunteer. Adults are never alone with children, and there are two adults with children at all times.

  • We want kids to have fun! Our desire is to see kids have such a good time they will be begging their parents to come back the next week. We believe creating this fun environment for kids will help children learn more about Jesus. We use games, crafts, props and creative stories to communicate the message of Jesus and we think it’s okay to have a good time at church.
