Our mission is to join parents in pointing kids to Jesus.

We take the teaching of our next generation very seriously. In Matthew 19:14, Jesus says, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (also repeated in Mark 10:14 and Luke 18:16).

Below are the weekly KidsTown activities available at Grace, each designed with your children’s safety and security in mind.

Weekly Kids Ministry Activities

  • Sunday Morning - KidsTown Square

    K-5th Grade

    During 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM Services

    Kids' Church meets every Sunday during both 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM services. The kids start out at an activity station of their choice (Legos, games, video games, toys, art, etc.) then move into a large-group session where they sing and have an interactive Bible lesson. We make use of The Gospel Project curriculum. Afterward, they divide up and go to their classrooms with their group leaders where they participate in a variety of activities for life application.

  • Sunday Evening - Thrive

    K-5th Grade

    6:00 PM to 7:15 PM

    Thrive meets from 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM during the school year. Thrive is an interactive Bible study time using music, games, and crafts to help children meditate on God’s Word and yield fruit. Using the songs we learn, kids will be given the opportunity to lead the congregation in worship a few times a year. Kids are welcome to join anytime! For questions click below.

  • Wednesday Evening - Truthopolis

    Truthopolis (Age 3-5th Grade)

    Nursery Care (Age 2 & Down)

    At Truthopolis, kids will discover that God’s Word is true, trustworthy, and good news for every part of life. Through games, music, crafts, and Bible lessons, we get to join parents in pointing kids to Jesus and helping them see who He really is.

  • Soar (Special Needs Ministry)

    K-5th Grade

    Soar is our special-needs ministry at Grace for kids of all ages. It is geared toward kids who learn better in a different classroom setting where they have more freedom to move and make noise. This way, we can teach them God's Word in a format that is tailored to them.

    Soar is offered on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. in room ED105. Feel free to email Brien Brough with any questions by clicking below.

    Quality nursery care is provided on Sundays during both 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM services. It is also provided on Sunday evenings from 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM during the school year. Nursery care is also available from 6:45-8:15 PM on Wednesdays. Careful attention is given to provide a clean, well-staffed, loving and cheerful atmosphere where initial attitudes about God are formed. For questions, contact Wendy Mortensen.

    Our Sunday preschool ministry is provided during both 8:30 and 10:00 AM services. It is also provided on Sunday evenings from 6:00-7:15 PM during the school year.
