Grace Kids
Newborn through fifth grade
Nursery for the littlest and children’s church for the rest, every Sunday at 10:30am.
Who is this for
Sunday, at their level
Grace Kids runs at the 10:30am service. Infants through age two are cared for in the nursery. Pre-K through fifth grade have their own service, in their own room.
The teaching is aimed at the long haul rather than at filling a Sunday morning. From age three there is a verse to learn each month, and the lessons work steadily through Scripture instead of returning to the same few stories.
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these."
Matthew 19:14
What to expect
What they grow up with
Parents notice this over years rather than weeks. After a few of them it usually looks like some version of these four things.
A Bible they can find their way around
Years of working through Scripture in order rather than in favourites. Children leave knowing the shape of the story and where to look inside it.
Verses they actually keep
From age three there is one verse a month, learned out loud and together. They stay put a great deal longer than the month does.
Adults who know their name
The same volunteers most weeks, checked and trained, who notice when a child is missing and remember what they said last time.
Get connected
A note from Nicole
Find me at the kiosks before the service and I will take you around the rooms and introduce you to whoever has your child that morning.
If your child would rather ease in, stay with them the first time. Nobody minds, and plenty of families start that way.
