SUNDAY MORNING CHILDREN’S MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES

Mrs. Ball’s Class: Ages 4-5 years Old

Taught by Susan Ball, the four and five-year-old Sunday school class seeks to come alongside the parents and instruct the children with stories from the Old and New Testaments. Our desire is to help the children discover who God is, how much He loves them and to help them understand their need for His saving grace. The children learn memory verses and have a weekly worksheet to reinforce the lesson taught that day . They take home a paper that the parents can use to review the lesson and make application.

Mr. Carmichael’s Class: Ages 6-9 years Old

Taught by Daniel Carmichael, this class is doing an Old Testament overview with an emphasis on showing how the entire Old Testament points to Christ's coming incarnation. We're spending time discussing how each leader in the OT is just a shadow or archetype of the perfect servant-leader that Christ will be when He arrives. Every account in the OT shows us our brokenness and reminds us of our need for a Messiah who will fix our mess. Class times are from 9-9:45 and are spent in review, lesson teaching/discussion and in memorization of our current memory verse. Kids can earn candy for verse memorization as well as answering particularly hard questions.

Mr. & Mrs. Jones’ Class: Ages 10-13 Years Old

Junior Teen Group (JTG), the “Bridge,” is a Sunday School class for boys and girls ages 10-13 years old taught by Nathan and Michelle Jones. We study the Bible in a survey fashion, from Genesis to Revelation. We focus on the metanarrative of Scripture and key themes in each book of the Bible, utilizing the Bible Project.

Children’s Church (Teacher roster rotates):

During the Sunday morning worship service at Grace, we provide a class for children ages 4-6 years old. The children begin with their parents in the worship service for the music portion of the service. Then, they are dismissed to go with the teachers downstairs for the sermon portion. Right now, the teachers are walking through the book by Sally Michaels called “God's Names”. The children are learning about one name of God each week, working from Elohim, found in Genesis, to Overcomer, found in Revelation. It has been a sweet time for both the children and the teachers learning more about God's beautiful identity and how it relates to His children! We would love to have your child join us!

SUNDAY EVENING CHILDREN’S MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES

Pastor Adam’s Class: Ages 4-7 Years Old

On Sunday evenings in Grace Kids, we are currently working through the curriculum written by Kevin DeYoung called "the Biggest Story." The goal of this curriculum is to help the children learn the big picture of the Bible, how there are recurring themes that all point to the need of our savior Jesus Christ. It does so in a very artistic manner that has been a joy to work through with the kids. We spend a good portion of our time in discussion in an attempt to aid the kids in grasping some big concepts at their level.

Mrs. Ellen’s Class: Ages 8-12 Years Old

In this Sunday evening class, we are working through the Truth78 curriculum called To Be Like Jesus. This curriculum helps students understand God's amazing gift of salvation. It helps them see both the duty and delight of walking in God's ways through grace-fueled obedience to His commands. We complete the curriculum lessons, play games to help us learn the characteristics of God as well as the books of the Bible, and spend time praying for ourselves and others. We would love to have your child join us!
