Children from Toddlers to 2nd Grade will be embarking on a journey through the Old and New Testaments with a focus on Jesus all the way through. Our goal each week is to provide a context for children to interact with the Bible in a way that leads to new knowledge of God and transformation through truth and the power of the Spirit. (LSS = Long Story Short Devotional, OSN = Old Story New Devotional)

Families can purchase the Long Story Short (Old Testament) and Old Story New (New Testament) Devotional books as a way to foster in-home discipleship. Click on the title to be linked to Amazon.
Each week, there are 5 days of devotionals that correspond with the Sunday lesson. The corresponding page number for the devotional can be found in The Gospel Story section above (LSS: Long Story Short, OSN: Old Story New).
Additionally, if your young children participate in any of the midweek programs, they will also be using this book as the basis of their daily lessons with some additional activities added.
Children in 3rd – 5th Grade are currently working through Listen Up, a curriculum that looks at many of the parables Jesus told. Jesus told simple stories using everyday activities and objects that point to surprising spiritual truths about life in the kingdom. These parables are an opportunity for the kids to hear the gospel as Jesus himself shared it.
Bring your Bible! We want to teach our children the importance of the Bible at a young age. So, we want to encourage them to bring their bible to church each week. Show our Sunday morning check in staff your bible, and receive a stamp (in the cover or on your child’s hand). Below is a list of age appropriate story Bibles that each class will utilize for teaching:
Toddlers – 2nd Grade: The Gospel Story Bible
3rd – 5th Grade: Any standard Bible
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments I give to you today are to be on your hearts. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frame of your houses and your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Church Child Care is the name of our Thursday kids program. Our desire is to provide a little personal time for parents in the Grace community while your kids enjoy the love and care of our Midweek Childcare Team! This is childcare for infants and preschool-aged children, 0-TK. Each Thursday morning is $15/child for childcare from 9am-12pm. Unfortunately we are unable to transfer or refund fees for any Church Child Care which you miss for any reason. Please fill out the registration form for each individual child below, under the appropriate age category.
