"It was a blessing hanging out with these energetic little ones in the 4/K class! It was fun to take a couple of hours and show the children God's love."

"Real men don't eat quiche, but they do teach little kids about the Bible!"

- Jeff

"All of life was given to us to teach us to know God and shape us to become more like him, for some of us perhaps a new area of growth in our spiritual formation is to sit with a child and scribble with a crayon, to watch a child laugh or to hold a baby. "

FAQ's

Why do we invite elementary children to attend the service?
We understand that this format may be different for some families. However, we see great value in regularly including the elementary children in service. When children are seen and treated as part of the church family, their faith is more likely to be long lasting. Children are not an inconvenience, and they are a part of the body of Christ. They need to see godly examples of how to worship and they need to feel that they are a part of the church family. It is likely that if a child does not feel like they are part of the church, they will leave when they get older.

How will my elementary child engage in the service?
Children will enjoy worshiping with their church family. Our worship team creates a time of both reflection and celebration!

Do you offer any additional Sunday morning opportunities for my elementary child?
Children in grades 1st - 5th will have the option of attending children's church during the sermon. Those wishing to attend will be invited to join after the worship portion of the service has completed. Those attending will need to check-in at the Grace Kids Welcome Desk located in the Preschool hallway prior to the start of service.

Is a nursery offered for my baby?
We offer a baby - 2-year-old room. A child must be at least 6 weeks old to attend. This class offers care and indoor play.
