Our vision is to spread God’s fame by making disciples of Jesus Christ through imparting a Godly legacy to the next generation. We desire to tell the coming generation about our mighty God and of the glorious deeds and wonders that He has done so that they would set their hope in Christ and not forget His works, that Jesus would be the joy of their lives.
To fulfill our vision we purpose to:
We belief disciple-making primarily takes place within the family and we will do all that we can to help parents pass on a Godly legacy to their children. In order to do this well, we believe that children should not constantly be separated into age groupings away from their family. Children are a part of the fabric of our church life and we want them to be included in church activities with regular frequency. This allows them to see their parents and others model the walk of a disciple of Christ. Having children around also provides opportunity for teachable moments.
We have Sunday Servers who can provide care for your children who are not yet in Kindergarten during the corporate worship service. We also have classes these children can participate in while you attend the Core classes that follow corporate worship.
You can go to the Children’s Check-In Desk when you arrive or between corporate worship and Core classes to check them in.
Children in Kindergarten and older join the rest of the church body for the entire corporate worship service. This provides a wonderful opportunity for you as parents and us as a church family to teach and model what happens during corporate worship and how they can be a part of it.
We also have Connections classes for children that take place during our adult Core classes. This allows children to learn about God in age-specific ways as well as develop relationships with other children in the church.
We use the Children Desiring God curriculum (now known as "Truth:78") for our Children’s and Student Ministry. It was designed to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things so that the next generation may know and cherish Jesus Christ as the only One who saves and satisfies the desires of the heart.
It is the goal of Grace Fellowship to provide an environment for children that is clean and healthy. What should you do if your child is sick? Click below to learn more.
We believe that the family experiencing worship together is precious and life-forming. Therefore, children of all ages are welcome and encouraged to be in our Sunday morning worship service. We are glad to have them as part of the fabric of our church. We want to model for them how we worship the Lord together as a church family. The cumulative effect of 624 potential worship services spent with parent(s) between the ages of 5-17 is incalculable.
Sometimes for children, the difference between enduring Sunday morning worship and enjoying Sunday morning worship is simply a matter of preparation and training. To that end, we have prepared a few suggestions that might help you lead your child in worship.
