The Children’s Ministry of Grace Community Church exists to glorify God through evangelizing children, encouraging parents, and edifying servants so that the gospel may be spread among our children, families may be supported, and the church may be strengthened.
From infants through fifth grade, we provide a variety of ministries designed to come alongside parents in caring for their children.
For an overview of these ministries, visit the First Time Visitors page.
