About GraceKids

We are a house of champions where young people can thrive.

KIDS MATTER HERE!

In GraceKids, we LOVE JESUS, BUILD KIDS, and LEAD REVIVAL. We are a Jesus Church Where the Gospel is Central. We strive to help families lead their children in becoming passionate followers of Jesus. In GraceKids, your child will feel God’s crazy love while having ridiculous fun! They will learn about Jesus in a safe, secure, fun, and exciting environment. We are a House of Champions Where Young People Can Thrive!

GraceKids is offered during both services at 9am and 10:45am.

Where and When

At Grace Church, we offer care and classes for your children ages birth through 4th grade during both worship services. If it’s your first time with us, please stop at the New Family Check In located a few steps from the front door so we can meet you and get your child ready for their time with us!

Safety and Fun

We are committed to building a fun, exciting, and safe environment where kids can thrive. Your child's safety is important to us and we are committed to a system that creates a safe environment. Every leader and kids volunteer has completed a thorough background check. We also provide a secure check-in / check-out process. You can relax knowing your child is in good hands and having a crazy good time with us!

Bible Based

“Wow, you make Jesus fun here!!” Actually, Jesus IS fun. We just don’t make Him boring! Your child will explore, encounter, and be empowered by the gospel during their time with us. Using an age-appropriate approach to teaching, your child will enjoy learning and connecting with God through Bible Buddy animal characters, memory verses, interactive worship songs, creative story-telling, and hands-on activities.

Family Worship Sundays

Your family will now have an opportunity to worship TOGETHER in the auditorium on the LAST SUNDAY of each month! Please check in to receive a name tag for your child. Take your child(ren) directly into the auditorium with you. After worship, your Pre-K through Grade 4 child(ren) will be dismissed to their classes. Pick your child(ren) up in their regular classrooms at the end of the service.

Pre-Registration for First Time Guests! 

Check in will be fast and easy!

First time visiting? Here’s What You Can Expect:

Please plan to arrive 15-20 minutes before the service starts. When you arrive, look for the area designated New Family Check In. We will greet your family there and register your child for the appropriate environment!

After you are registered, you and your child will be given matching security tags that are unique to your family. Your child will wear the nametag, and you will keep the matching security tag. A friendly greeter will walk you and your child to their environment, where you can meet the teacher and receive any instructions needed!

During check out, present your security tag in order for your children to be released to you. If your child needs you during the service, we'll contact you via text message. Please stop at Guest Services on your way out to pick up gift bags for you and your child!

grace church kids group

Welcome to Grace Youth! We are incredibly passionate about raising up the next generation of leaders of the Church. We believe that our youth are not merely the church of tomorrow, but they are the church of TODAY! We strive to creatively grow our students in discipleship and equip them to do the good works that God has prepared in advance for each of them. Our students are excited to invite friends to Youth Group (which is the highest compliment for any youth ministry).

When and Where: Youth Group is for students in grades 5-12th. We meet Wed Nights from 7-8:30pm (doors open at 6:30pm) in the Youth Chapel.
We have various youth catalyst groups that meet on Sunday mornings during the 10:45 Service. These are separated by grades. 5&6th, 7&8th and 9th-12th all have distinct classes that meet during our group schedule.

Grace Worship

Grace-Church-Volunteers-54-modified

At Grace Church we believe in Jesus-centered worship; worship that takes the focus off of ourselves and points all glory and honor and praise to the One who deserves it. We strive for authenticity in worship and prayer, not so that we can boast, but so that Jesus is exalted through honest and true worship.

Grace Worship is a team of servants whose goal is to lead the people of God into His throne room for life-changing encounters with the Holy Spirit. We are worshippers, and we believe that to lead well is to humbly worship first.

Grace Worship is a community. We view what we do as a ministry not only to the people we lead, but to those involved as well. We strive for all those on tech and worship teams to be in community with one another, building relationships inside our teams and fostering spiritual growth and life change through the power of the Holy Spirit within our community.

Grace Medical Lending Closet

A ministry of lending necessary medical equipment to our community has begun! Wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, commodes, shower chairs, and the like are being collected and stored in the "closet" next to the old sanctuary loft stairs in the Grace Chapel. The items can be borrowed (and returned) by anyone in need. Donations of such items are also now being thankfully accepted! For more information, contact Patty Pfennig at 1-630-699-2141.
