Grace Kids

Growing in Faith

At Grace Presbyterian Church, we believe children learn about God through connection, creativity, and play. For generations, families have grown in faith within these walls — and today, that tradition continues through programs designed to help our youngest members discover God’s love in joyful and meaningful ways.

Family Worship

Worship: Sundays at 10:30 a.m. | Church School (September–June)

At Grace, children and youth stay with their families during morning worship until the minister invites them to the Conversation with Young Christians.

At that time — and if they’re comfortable — children are welcome to move to the front of the Sanctuary and sit on a mat. Parents may join them if they wish. After the conversation, children head downstairs for age-specific programming, and parents are always welcome to accompany their children and grow in faith together.

Following the service, please come downstairs to pick up your child and greet our teachers and volunteers. If you have any questions about children’s programming, feel free to ask an usher or minister on Sunday, or contact the church office during the week.

Nursery Care (18 mos–3 yrs)

Parents, grandparents, and caregivers may drop off toddlers before worship (as early as 10:20 a.m.) and pick them up after the service (by 11:50 a.m.).

Our safe, welcoming nursery includes toys, a crib, and a changing table, staffed by caring volunteers who love children.

To ensure safety, access to the nursery is limited to:

  • Registered toddlers (18 months–3 years)

  • Parents, grandparents, or caregivers

  • Nursery Supervisor and volunteers
