The children's ministries of Grace Baptist Church exist to teach our children to glorify God and to enjoy Him through life. Our vision is that through our love, care and teaching of His Word, He will use us to bring each child to:
▪ Saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
▪ Maturing faith as they learn to study His Word, to love worship, and to memorize scripture.
▪ Courageous faith - that they will be fearless in sharing the love and good news of God with their world.
 
Birth to 3 years Children & Youth Classes

Nursery (Room 200)
     Our nursery offers a caring, nurturing environment where your child can experience God's love. It provides parents the opportunity to worship and attend adult Sunday school classes, confident that their young children are in a safe and loving place. The nursery is available for infants and toddlers up to age two.
     There is a quiet zone for naps and bright, clean areas with play stations.
     The caregivers have received CPR training as well as child protection training. All nursery volunteers  are screened. They fill out an application that includes references.
     Parents leaving their children receive pagers to carry in case they are needed.

Cry Room
If your infant or young child begins to be restless during the service, you may take him or her to the Cry Room. The room is adjacent to the auditorium and has a glass wall and an audio link to the service. Here your child can move about while you can still see and hear what is happening in the service. The Cry Room is located in the back of the auditorium and can be reached by exiting the auditorium into the corridor. Sick children are not permitted in the Cry Room.

Age Two (Room 202)
A charming and courageous couple will greet your toddler with enthusiasm and all the tools needed to make Sunday School a special time and place. A Bible story, structured play, and learning activities make this hour very important in developing social skills and more importantly, an early understanding of a loving God who is always with us.

Age Three (Room 203, 1st & 2nd Hour)
Bible story with structured play along with learning activities to help in developing social skills. The children begin to learn of a loving God who loves us. We strive for play, snacks and a Bible-based story time.

Fours & Fives (Room 204) (1st & 2nd Hour)
Teaching God’s Word, Scripture memorization, singing and crafts. Features an integrated story time, game time and craft that ties a teaching theme together.

Children’s Church (1st & 2nd Hour)
Grades 1, 2, 3 & 4 - Opening Session
Our early elementary children are welcomed by a wonderful team of dedicated and experienced teachers who lead them in singing and fellowship after which they divide into the following classes:

1st Grade (Room 310)
Taught by Mike and Rosa Lee Jones.

2nd Grade (Room 309)
Taught by Tiffany Sheldon and Kim Leonard.

3rd and 4th Grades (Room 308)
Taught by Russ & Laura Lycan and Henriette Thomason.

5th and 6th Grades (Room 308, 2nd Hour)
The G.L.O.W. (God’s Love Overcomes The World) teachers are Mr. and Mrs. Correale. The Bible is our foundation and The Edge, a preteen curriculum from Gospel Light, helps us apply it to our daily lives . This Fall 2006, we are learning to trust in the Lord, live according to God’s commandments, and be imitators of God through our speech and actions. During class time we pray, read and discuss God’s Word, and participate in some fun learning activities. Sometimes Mr. Correale even breaks out his guitar for some worship time. We desire above all else that every student comes to know and believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We want them to fall in love with His Word as we study the scriptures together. “ For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39
