Children's Ministry
The purpose of Children's Ministry at Grace is to partner with parents in laying a foundation for the salvation and discipleship of our children through Bible teaching and modeling by caring adults.

Children's Sunday Classes
Sunday Mornings, 9:00 a.m. AND 10:30 a.m.

Classes offered for infants through sixth grade. Our primary emphasis during this time is training up children in the Word of God. Classes are as follows:

A Sure Foundation- A Fragrance of the Knowledge of Christ
(Infants – 12 months)
Description: Although a church nursery is a place where the physical and
emotional needs of your child can be met while you are not present, our goal is to serve parents and children even further by providing a ministry of prayer. When you leave your children in the nursery, they will be prayed for by name. Prayer topics and verses are posted on the nursery walls so nursery workers can focus their prayers for your child.

A Sure Foundation- The Wonders He Has Done
(One Year Olds’ Class / Young Toddlers)
Description: "God made everything," "Jesus is Here!", "We love Jesus," "Jesus loves me." These four brief stories are presented to the older one year olds over and over through the year, along with singing and prayer. Scripture verses are reviewed throughout the year to establish beginning familiarity with the Scriptures. Verse cards are given to the parents for review.

A Sure Foundation- His Praiseworthy Deeds
(Two Year Olds’ Class / Older Toddlers)
Description: This curriculum will present great truths about God in very simple words, to show glimpses of who God is through the telling of key Bible stories and to repeat those stories and basic truth statements over and over. Scripture Memorization included. Verse cards are sent home with the parents.

He Has Established a Testimony
(Three Year Olds’ Class)
Description: The children are taught key Bible stories in chronological order through the Old Testament. Major themes repeated throughout the Bible, such as God knows everything, God can do anything, God never changes, and faith pleases God, are highlighted in story after story. Scripture Memorization included. Verse cards are provided.

He Has Spoken Through His Son
(Pre-K Class)
Description: The children explore the greatness of God in Christ by learning key themes found chronologically throughout the New Testament. Scripture Memorization included. Verse cards are provided.

Jesus, What a Savior!
(Kindergarten Class)
Description: Children are presented with the greatness of God through Jesus and are given a beginner's look at redemption. Scripture Memorization included. Verse cards are provided.

Faithful to All His Promises
(1st & 2nd Grade)
Description: God's promises are gifts to the believer. The challenge of the Christian life if not simply to know the promises of God, but to place unshakeable confidence in them. This study teaches children that God's character is trustworthy, therefore, His promises are true and reliable. Scripture memory verse packs and student workbook provided for each child.

In the Beginning...Jesus
(3rd & 4th Grade)
Description: The Bible is one complete true story. It progressively reveals God's redemptive plan, which comes to complete fulfillment in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. This curriculum begins with a historical mystery - Jesus' death on the cross - and asks the questions: "What really happened here?", "Why did Jesus die?" and "Who did it?" To find the answers, the study goes to the beginning of the Bible narrative in Genesis and then moves chronologically through the Old Testament text as students search for clues that foreshadow the coming of Jesus and His redemptive work on the cross. Scripture memory verse cards and student workbook provided..

My Purpose Will Stand
(5th & 6th Grade)
Description: God is not an idle God. He is continually involved with all created things, directing them to accomplish His eternal purposes. This study teaches children to recognize God's providence in their lives and to joyfully trust His good purposes for them. Each lesson reveals that God is the sovereign ruler of the universe whose eye is watching over all things, whose hand is working in all things.
