Children

gKids Goals

Equip & Empower

We believe partnering with parents is the best way to bring about a long-lasting impact on a child’s life. The average family spends 75x more hours in a year with their children than our ministry will ever be able to. Imagine the impact we can make if we partner together with the vision in mind.

Introduce Jesus Christ

To see kids take the next step in their relationship with Jesus by creating a foundational understanding of biblical truths in a fun and creative way.

First Time Guests

When you arrive at Grace for the first time, turn on your blinkers in the parking lot and you will be directed to the VIP parking area. Our parking lot team will connect you to a guest services member who will escort you to the children’s area.

When you visit for the first time, we’ll need a small amount of information to register your family. This information is only used for our GraceLink database to help maintain a secure check-in system. If you have questions before you visit please contact us at gracekids@gracechurchsp.org.

Safety

We understand trusting anyone new with your kids can be overwhelming. Your child’s safety is always our top priority. 

All gKids volunteers receive a background check and do not serve alone. We have a security team in place during the entire worship experience to ensure a safe environment for your kids. Children and parents receive matching printed nametags and pick-up tags to ensure their safety in our environments. The child’s nametag identifies their age group, any allergies, and includes a security code that matches the parent pick-up tag. We also use a text messaging system in case we need to reach you during the worship experience.

At the end of the service, each parent picking up a child must provide the pick-up tag to the door host. A member of the gKids team will ensure the security codes match on both the child’s nametag and parent pick-up tag.

Resources

gKids Newsletter

Parents will receive our quarterly e-newsletter with information about what your children are learning in gKids, as well as parent resources to help foster faith-based conversations in the home.

Parent Resoruces

Nursery (Birth-24 Months)

Our mission is to show the love of Jesus to every baby and toddler, while playing, rocking, changing diapers, and singing to them. These little ones are prayed over and lovingly cared for during their time in gKids.

Preschool (2-5 Years)

Little ones enjoy a creative place where they experience the stories of the Bible in dramatic and engaging ways. Our objective is to communicate to every child that God loves them!

Elementary (K - 5th Grade)

Elementary-age children experience God through worship, games, and interactive lessons that are relevant in their day-to-day lives and help apply God’s Word when navigating situations at school, home, and in their friendships.
