children's ministries
Children are valued by God and in our church community. At Grace, we meet children where they are, and celebrate the presence and engagement of children in all aspects of our Christian community. We provide quality child care, Sunday School classes, and special events throughout the year.
Our Weekly Schedule
Grace Children’s Ministry Faith Formation class is held on Sunday mornings for 3-year-olds (if toilet trained) through 5th graders at 9:15AM to 10:15AM in room 123. The doors will open at 9:00AM. The nursery for ages birth through two years old is open from 7:45AM to 11:45AM each Sunday to families attending one of our worship services, classes, or serving in some capacity. Please contact Pastor Kim Neace, Pastor of Children and Family Ministries, at kim.neace@peopleofgrace.org for more information.
All Abilities Welcome!
Open Doors Ministry (ODM) provides support for those with special needs. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me." We are blessed to have children of all abilities and we nurture, support, and welcome them with joy! We work hand in hand with our Open Doors Ministry which supports children with varying abilities so they grow closer to God and can fully participate in the life of the church. Please contact Nicole Zaccaria, Director of Open Doors Ministry, at nicole.zaccaria@peopleofgrace.org with questions or for more information.
You are welcome here and we look forward to seeing and/or meeting you and your child(ren).
