What to Expect
Arrival
When you walk into the doors of Grace Kids, you will be greeted by our Welcome Team. To expedite the check-in process, we check all new families in as guests unless they have filled out our New Family Registration Form. See above.
After your family is registered
You will only need to give us your child's last name to check-in. We will print name tags for each child and a security tag for parents. This tag is needed to pick up your children after the service is over.
Once registration is completed
You will be escorted to the appropriate classroom for you child. There, you will be greeted by teachers, and your child will be invited to join in the activities happening in the classroom. If your child is having a hard time leaving you, you are welcome to stay and observe their class as long as you like.
Pick up
After service is finished, present your security tag to your child’s teacher for a match. You must have this security tag in order to pick up a child. We recommend taking a photo of your tag. If you misplace your tag during service, you will need to find a Grace Kids supervisor and show them your Driver's License. They will happily help you print a new tag.
Common Questions
Serving in Grace Kids is life-changing!
We want to see kids develop a BIG, authentic kind of faith. It’s a BIG challenge, but we believe it can happen through something SMALL . . . namely, YOU—the small group leader!
Small group leaders and helpers serve once or twice a month (we strongly suggest twice). Typically they serve at the same service and with the same age group of kids to encourage the cultivation of connection between leaders and kids.

First Thursday Childcare
First Thursday Prayer and Worship Night Childcare is Available! First Thursdays are powerful nights of connection with our church family. We worship and pray together. Lives are changed! Grace Kids wants to bless families who want to attend, but aren’t sure how their little ones will do during the service. Free childcare is available on First Thursdays for ages birth through age five, but not yet in Kindergarten. We ask that you RSVP here:
Preschool
Preschoolers are starting a new unit in October called: "A Roaring Rescue: Always Pray!"
Praying is talking with God! And even though you can’t see Him, He always listens to you. You
can pray all night and all day! We will be learning about prayer as we go through the story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den.
The scripture we will be memorizing this month is 1 Thessalonians 5:17
“Never stop praying.”
Elementary Students
October 4th - 2nd
week of Forgiveness
Main Point - Jesus
forgives me so that I can forgive others!
Memory
Verse - "For it is by
grace you have been saved, through faith. And this is not from ourselves it is
the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8
Students are learning
about why we forgive others and how God forgives us and wants us to be like Him. Forgiveness takes strength, patience, and God's help. God has forgiven us,
so we must forgive others from our hearts. (Matthew 18:35)
October 11th - 3rd
week of Forgiveness
Main Point - Jesus
forgives me so I can fulfill my purpose!
Students will learn
about their purpose and how they are not defined by their mistakes. We are
reminded we live for Him and how God has a plan for us. We are not living life
alone. We are all created with a purpose!
October 18th - 4th
week of Forgiveness
Main Point - Jesus
forgives me so I can serve Him!
Students learn about how
Paul and Silas forgave the jailer that put them in jail and turned to worship
the Lord. Even though they were in a hard situation, they chose to praise Him.
We can serve Jesus no
matter where we are or how hard things get, like choosing to worship, love, and
forgive others, even though it’s hard.
October 25th - 1st
week of new unit - Fear Not
Main Point - I won't
fear because God is with me!
Memory Verse - "For God has not
given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2
Timothy 1:7 NKJV
Students will learn to
put their trust in the Lord, especially during times where they are fearful.
When we remember God is close, just like Isaiah 41:10 says, our fear gets
smaller and our faith gets stronger.
