The faith of a child is first developed in the home. Let Grace UMC's Children's Ministry help you teach your little ones (infants - 5th grade) about the love of God for them and how to share that love with others.
Families come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing most have in common is a desire to grow in love for one another. Grace's Family Ministry is here to support families of all kinds with regularly scheduled events and opportunities.
Nursery Services are available for your litte ones on Sunday mornings 8:30am - 12pm, and Wednesday evenings beginning at 6:15pm during our Wednesday Night Programming season. Our loving and caring Nursery Staff are waiting to receive your children in the lower level of our Asbury Building.
Infants are in Room 107
Toddlers are in Room 103
We believe that Sunday School classes are where children dive deeper to learn more about Jesus, with hands-on interactive fun! Each month, the children will focus on a Fruit of the Spirit word. Each Sunday of the month, the children will then have lessons consisting of Bible storytelling, object lesson, create an arts & crafts, and play games that will tie back to the Fruit of the Spirit word. We have many dedicated teachers who have many years of experience leading children from preschool 2k - 5th grade.
Sunday School is held from 9:45am-10:45am. We would love to have your kids come visit us and join us for a fun lesson!
Children's Ministry Sunday School classrooms are located in the Asbury building. Preschool classrooms are in the lower level.
Your kids will enjoy spending time with us as we B.L.A.S.T. off each Sunday during the LifeSong and Traditional worship services!
Children are dismissed from worship service after the Children's Message and meet up with their teachers to walk together to their classrooms. Our time together in B.L.A.S.T. is spent in "Bible Learning And Spiritual Training" as we explore Bible stories through games and crafts using "Spark" curriculum!
Classrooms are located in the upper level of the Asbury Building.
Wednesday Nights are happening at Grace! Our Children's Ministry takes over the Family Center (gym) Building on Wednesday Nights where your kids will first meet up for devotion time in the gym, followed by lots of interactive fun games!
This is also a great opportunity for kids to fellowship with friends while having fun playing games in the gym!
Wednesday Night Kids' ("WNK") classes begin at 6:15pm.

Vacation Bible School ("VBS") is coming June 17-21, 2024! Cokesbury's Camp Firelight VBS invites children on a summer camp adventure where they learn to trust God no matter what situation life brings!
Children in completed grades 3k through completed 5th grade are invited to register for VBS, by the registration due date (TBD). Kids will join us for a week long morning summer experience where they will use their imagination to experience an on-campus camping adventure!
Camp Firelight VBS is based on Psalm 56:3: "Whenever I'm afraid, I put my trust in you." This verse reminds us that we can trust God no matter what challenges we face in life. Camp Firelight invites us to put our trust in God in every situation, including during times when we might be afraid.
Through the stories that they will hear and learn about, this program will teach us about people in the Bible who experience the gift of a trusting relationship with God, and it will teach us to trust God to go with us, to lead the way, to share wisdom, to give us peace, and to spark joy as we celebrate the good news of Jesus in our own lives and in the lives of others. We will also learn ways we can connect with and put our trust in God, whenever we are afraid, challenged, or called to do God's work in the world and share the good news of God's love through Jesus Christ.
