COVID-19 Update – All GraceKids programming is now hybrid as of November 1, 2020.
We have created several fun and active options to help you disciple your children.
Please feel free to use whichever options fit your schedule and capacity.
During our 9 am service hour, GraceKids (infants through 5th grade) will be offered at our Roseville campus. Please preregister here to help us prepare for you.
Weekly Jesus-centered online videos from our friends at Up Street and Waumba Land. Click on the link below.
Monthly activity boxes: delivered during the last week of each month. Super fun-filled boxes that go along with the online videos. Use with your family or at the GraceKids K5 Gathering. To make sure you are on our list to receive a box, please click here.
GraceKids K5 Gathering Online: Sundays from 9:45-10:30am. Over a video conference medium, watch the online videos and then do small group activities “side by side” with GraceKids leaders & friends. Request your link here. Contact Tracey.
EDGE (4th & 5th grade only): Wednesdays from 6:30-8pm. Over a video conference medium, join an interest “club” and then participate in a tween small group Bible study. Request your link here. Contact Tracey.
2. Practice, practice, practice for the next few weeks. Focus specifically on the “Joyful, Joyful” section starting at 3:10 through the end. This is where the kids will be featured.
3. Put on their Christmas outfit & record a video of your child singing to the mp3 with headphones on. (this will ensure we don’t hear your neighbor’s snow blower or your teenager’s Zoom meeting…just you child’s voice).
5. Attend the Christmas Eve Service (time TBD) online or in-person and hear & see everyone singing together!
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.

We do not meet during school breaks and holidays.
On Wednesday nights, fourth and fifth graders and their small group leaders gather online to spend time playing games, laughing with each other and talking through an idea or section of the Bible. All study is done together as a small group, so everyone has a chance to voice their thoughts and ideas.
At Grace Student Ministries (GSM) we take students seriously and we welcome all students, no matter what their story is. Our goal is for every student to feel accepted and at home at Grace. We focus on developing relationships with students and providing an environment where together, we can take one step closer to loving Jesus and loving people.

and plan to do that this fall also.
