In the Bible we read of the love Jesus had and care He demonstrated for children. Here at Grace, we seek to imitate His love and compassion. All of our lessons are based on the Bible and are age appropriate. Our teachers are screened to determine their character and fitness for ministry with children. We seek to communicate the love of God, using teachers who themselves love the Lord and love His children. We invite you to entrust your children to our care.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission for Children’s Ministry at Grace Community Chapel is to ensure our children will come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, becoming spiritual champions who will go out, with confidence, and boldly share God’s love with others.
