Welcome to GraceKids! We are excited to partner with you in your child’s spiritual formation and growth.
GraceKids ministry encourages infants-5th graders to explore faith and learn how to live it out every day! Kids hear God’s Story, discover their place in God’s plan and grow towards a personal relationship with Jesus.
We provide safe, engaging environments – just right for each age! GraceKids volunteers have gone through an application and interview process as well as thorough background checks. We also have a computerized check-in system, so you can relax during the worship service knowing your child is in a secure and caring environment. If your child needs you during the service, we will send you a text on your cell phone alerting you. After the service, volunteers will match your child’s name tag with the security tag you were given at check-in. Due to the Covid-19 situation, we will not be offering GraceKids programming in the building until further notice. We are making plans to gather as soon as we can provide a safe environment!
Have questions? Contact our Children’s Director, Tracey Peterson, and she’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Kids begin to discover where they fit into God’s big plan for them. We provide a hybrid environment for preschoolers to enjoy interactive Bible stories and engaging musical worship. Kids also experience small group connection and hands-on activities designed for each age level. They may participate in person or via zoom during their class hour.
Preschool programming is offered during both worship services. We are following the MDH Covid-19 guidelines for cleanliness and safety to protect our children.

Grade School (Grades K – 3)
Kids in grades K-3 gather together in a new hybrid environment for games and interactive worship. Kids will have a small group experience (developed by age and gender) where they have the opportunity to make friends, ask questions and engage in God’s Word. Small group leaders challenge them to apply what they are learning and to grow towards a personal faith and relationship with Jesus. We offer both in person and zoom meeting options on Sunday morning.
