Lessons are Bible-based with hands-on activities to help children become involved in learning. Our goal is for the children to grow in the love of Christ and knowledge of the Bible, to learn by discovery, and to have our teachers set an example of a Christian lifestyle.

SUMMER VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
VBS is for children ages 3- those who completed 4th grade. VBS is an action-packed week with great singing, Bible stories, dramas, fun crafts, and delicious snacks. Watch the church and/or Children's Ministries Newsletter for the dates and times of VBS each summer.
SPECIAL CELEBRATIONS
Easter
Children's Musical
Acolyte Program
Our children gather for a special celebration on a Saturday morning prior to Easter. We have a traditional egg hunt, but our emphasis is placed on special activities to help children understand the true meaning of Easter.
Our children normally present a Children's Musical each spring in our weekend worship services. Watch for more information in our church newsletter, Children's Ministries newsletter, and bulletin.
Children in the 3rd - 6th Grades are able to serve as an acolyte during our 9:00 a.m. Worship Service. They bring in the light of Christ, carry the Word of God, and assist with attendance registration.
Nursery Care:
Grace Church provides supervised nursery care for infants and children up through age 3 on Saturday evening, Sunday morning, Wednesday evening, and for special services. A separate brochure is available with specific information. Diana Rairdon and Lisa Crump are our current staff persons supervising this important ministry.
