Grace Kids

Grace Kids exists to partner with parents in gospel-centered discipleship of their children. Our aim is to serve you and your children by providing them with  a safe environment where they can learn about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Grace Kids Program

Families experiencing disability

We are honored to welcome you and your family to our Sunday worship gathering, and we have done our best to be prepared for you. Visit our Buddies Team page to learn more about our Sunday morning program for kiddos with special needs, and then check out our Respite Ministry page to learn more about Friday Nights Out designed specifically for you and your family:

Nusery (0-1 years) & Toddlers (1-2 years)

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 volunteer staff will engage with your children by reading books to them, praying over them, singing songs, and playing alongside them.

preschool (3-4 years)

The preschool years are an exciting time of exploration and discovery where children are learning about their world and where we get to introduce them in a more concrete way to the God who created them, loves them, and has a good, redemptive plan for them and their world. These classes use Truth78’s A Sure Foundation curriculum.

Elementary (5-5th grade)

These classes use Marty Machowski's The Gospel Story for Kids curriculum, a three-year program that helps churches and families ground children in the gospel story from Genesis to Revelation. Children who began this program at age five and graduate after 5th grade will have learned and absorbed the gospel story from Genesis to Revelation two complete times. At each age level, children are taught the gospel through an engaging Bible story, illuminating illustrations, activities, coloring pages, object lessons, and Scripture memorization that continually point to the excellent greatness of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Grace Kids Values

Gospel Centered

Jesus is not just part of the story – HE is the HERO of the story. Every bit of Scripture ultimately points to the saving work of Jesus’ death on the cross.

Kid Focused

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.

parent partnering

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 them with reinforcement, resources, support and encouragement as they lead and disciple their families.

Volunteer fueled

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.

Safe

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 conduct interviews, collect references, and obtain background checks on every volunteer.

fun

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.
