CHILDREN
Children interested in attending any Grace programming need to be registered.
Grace’s children’s ministry offers welcoming, faith-filled opportunities for children from infancy through grade 5 to learn, worship, create, play, and grow in community. Sunday programming includes Kids Connect, Godly Play, Big Bible Dig, along with a variety of intergenerational and fellowship opportunities throughout the year.
Together, these programs create spaces where children feel welcomed, encouraged, and connected while discovering their faith and their place in God’s story.

Kids Connect
Sunday during Worship ages 4-Grade 5
After the Children’s Message, kids are invited to join Kids Connect outside the sanctuary for an age-appropriate Bible story and fun learning activity. Children will return to worship during the Hymn of the Day to participate in the rest of the worship service.
(Children under the age of 4 are welcome to participate with a parent or guardian.)
(Kids Connect meets Sept through May)

Godly Play
Sunday after worship ages 4-Grade 5
Godly Play is new in 2026! It invites children into a sacred space where they experience Bible Stories through storytelling, wondering, and creative play. This unique approach nurtures children’s spiritual growth and encourages them to see the role they already play in God’s unfolding story.
Each session includes time for storytelling, wondering together, creative response, and concludes with a simple feast shared in community.

Kids Choir and Chimes
Sunday after worship ages 4-Grade 5
The Grace Kids Choir sings in worship throughout the program year with practices for 15 minutes immediately following worship in the Sanctuary. We ask that children attend as many practices as possible and commit to being present on the Sundays we are scheduled in church. If you have questions, please contact volunteer director Heather Olivier.

Grace Generations Buddies Program
This ministry pairs each child or youth with a caring adult from our congregation who will intentionally encourage them throughout the school year. These relationships are not meant to replace parents or become another activity on your family's calendar. Instead, this is an opportunity for your child to experience the love and support of another trusted adult within their church family.
