CHILDREN
"Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs to the kingdom of God".
Mark 10:14
At Grace Chapel, we want to join parents in guiding their children toward a relationship
with Jesus Christ. We believe parents should be the primary spiritual voice in their child's life,
and it's our desire is to help nurture these precious ones to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
Nursery
The Nursery (newborn thru 2 years) is available during both worship services and Sunday School to allow moms and dads to participate fully on Sunday morning. Our Nursery is staffed with a caring team of volunteers who will help your little ones know that God made them and loves them.
They will hear about how Jesus wants to be their friend.
Check-in for children is located in the Foyer.
Kids Church
Kid's Church is available for children age 3 through Kindergarten and takes place during both of our worship services. Teachers share the Word of God with kids, teach stories of Jesus, sing and make crafts. Each week, teachers have a lesson that is designed for these little ones.
Check-in for children is located in the Foyer.
Sunday School
Sunday school classes are provided for children Pre-K thru Grade 6. Sunday School is a defined ministry time for children between our worship services, 10-11am, throughout the school year.
Teachers guide children into the Bible to encounter our Champion, Jesus, and His good news. Interactive lessons encourage children to pursue and know God, and to memorize scripture verses. The time is divided between a large group gathering of teaching and singing for all children, and small group gathering at specific grade levels.
Check-in for children is located in the Foyer.
Children Attending Worship (Grades 1 - 6)
Our goal is to foster an environment where parents can feel welcome to worship as families in our Worship Center.
Worship Bags and Kids' Bulletin
We have prepared Worship Bags and a Kids' Bulletin, available as you enter the Worship Center. The bulletin is themed weekly around the sermon being preached, and the bags are different colors to provide appropriate activities by age group.
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a week-long, fun-filled program offered during July each year. Its goal is to connect children and families in our church and in our surrounding communities with God and our church. VBS is also intended as an outreach opportunity to bring children who don't normally attend church, introducing them to the gospel. Each program has its own bible-based theme that children can explore. They include games, crafts, skits, snacks and, of course, Bible lessons.
This year, join us in Rome!
