Our vision is to spread God’s fame by making disciples of Jesus Christ through imparting a Godly legacy to the next generation. We desire to tell the coming generation about our mighty God and of the glorious deeds and wonders that He has done so that they would set their hope in Christ and not forget His works but keep His commandments. Furthermore, our desire is that in adulthood they would arise and tell them to their children.
To fulfill our vision we purpose to:
- Model the Walk of a disciple of Christ to children
- Teach the Word of God to children
- Equip and Partner with parents, acknowledging them as the primary disciple makers
We pursue this passion for our children not only with our words, but also with the curriculum we use, the way we recruit and train our teachers, and to the very way we design our programs for children and their families.

In Partnering with Parents
We are a church that believes disciple-making is inherent within the family and we will do all that we can to help parents pass on a Godly legacy to their children. In order to do this we believe that children should not constantly be separated into age groupings away from their family. Children are a part of the fabric of our church life and we want them to be included in church activities; this happens at Grace Fellowship not always, but often. This allows them to see their parents and others model the walk of a disciple of Christ. Having children around also provides opportunity for teachable moments.
Children In Worship Service
For Nursery-Preschool
We have available Sunday Servers who will provide care for your child during the service. Please go to the Children’s Check-In Desk when you arrive to check them in.
Kindergarten and Up
They will be in the service the entire time each week. This provides a wonderful opportunity for you as parents and us as a church family to teach and model for them what goes on during a Sunday morning service and how they can be a part of it.
Tips For Enjoying Sunday Morning Service With Your Children
For children, sometimes the difference between enduring Sunday morning worship and enjoying Sunday morning worship is simply a matter of preparation and training.
Here are a few tips!
In partnering with parents we have Connections classes for children. These meet at the same time that the adult Connections groups meet. This allows children to learn about God in age-specific ways as well as develop relationships with other children in the church. It also allows parents the opportunity to build relationships with others and learn more about God.
We look forward to passing on a Godly legacy with you!
