Children’s Ministries

Purpose

Our Children’s Ministries are designed to help children learn about God, His Word, and the Person & work of Jesus Christ so that they might come to know Him.

In all of our programs, children are taught God's Word in age-appropriate ways, and are cared for by dedicated, trained volunteers.

NURSERY

Available for All Sunday Services

Ages | Newborn – 4 years old

We provide a clean, safe, and loving nursery for your babies through toddlers during all Sunday morning and evening services, so that you can worship with confidence and peace of mind.

Check-In & Check-Out

When you arrive, a nursery worker will greet you and check your child in. At pickup, your child will only be released to you. If we need to reach you during a service, we will come and find you in the auditorium in a discreet manner.

Nursery services provided for all Sunday services for ages newborn through 4 years old.

SUNDAYS

Sunday School

Sundays | 9:45 AM - 10:45 AM

Children's Sunday School meets every Sunday morning and is divided into age-appropriate classes, ensuring that every child receives instruction suited to where they are in life and learning.

All classes use curriculum developed by Regular Baptist Press, grounded in the authority and reliability of God's Word.

Vacation Bible School is one of our annual highlights, held during the summer months and ministering to our community children. Everyone is welcome.

Junior Church

During the Morning Service

Ages | 5 – 12 years old

Following the congregational singing in our morning service, children ages 5–12 are invited to be dismissed to Junior Church, held in a separate room.

Junior Church is not required — families are always welcome to keep their children with them in the main service — but it is available for parents who would like their children to have an age-appropriate learning experience.

What happens in Junior Church? Children enjoy a time of singing followed by a Bible lesson taught at their level. It is a warm, engaging environment where children are not just sitting through a service but actively learning and participating.

When is dismissal? Children are dismissed following the congregational singing portion of the morning service and are returned to their parents at the close of the service.

Activity time is integrated into our Kids4Truth program.

Kids4Truth

Sundays | 5:45 PM – 7:15 PM

Ages | 5 – 12 years old

Cost | FREE

Kids4Truth is a program designed to give children a solid foundation in what the Bible teaches and why it can be trusted. It goes beyond Bible stories — children learn key truths from God's Word, memorize Scripture, and grow in their understanding of who God is and what He has done.

What happens on a Sunday evening? Each session includes singing, a Bible lesson, discussion time, snack time, and game time!

Who can come? Any child in the community from ages 5-12 years old is welcome. You do not need to be a member of Grace Baptist Church or attend our services. Children may join at any point in the year.

Laying a Foundation for Learning and Living God's Word

Kids4Truth is held every Sunday evening, 5:15 PM - 7:15 PM, providing children ages 5-12 years old with a solid program of Bible teaching, snack, activity, and application time.
