Sunday School
A regular Sunday School hour for children is the centerpiece of children’s ministry at Grace and occurs each Sunday during the sermon. Parents are asked to bring their children downstairs when arriving for worship to their respective classrooms. After a lesson in their own classroom, children will gather all together for a missions moment to then return to worship halfway through the worship service.
On the first Sunday of the month during the service of Holy Communion, third graders on up will be included in the entirety of the adult service so they can understand and participate more fully in the service.
Nursery: Ages 0-23 months is open from 9:50-11:30 am Babies and toddlers will receive loving care and exposure to Spiritual truths through games and songs. We have a consistent staff care provider along with rotating church volunteers. For more information look at the parent handbook.
Preschool ages 2-PreK: Meets in the preschool room (south basement room across from the nursery).
Grades K-3: Meets in the Elementary Room (north basement room next to the nursery).
Grades 4-6: Meets in the Youth Room behind the sanctuary.
