Grace k.i.d.s. 

      Higher-Deeper-wider

Kids of all ages have a God-breathed capacity for understanding the bigness, fullness, and depth of who He is. Our job as teachers and leaders is to help them engage with the Bible, with each other, and with God as they grow up!


God loves organization, balance, and creativity. Look around His creation and you immediately see all of these things and a propensity for excellence. This is the same desire he has for His ministry to children. Organization comes from great planning, balance comes from the spiritual maturity of our volunteer ministry staff, and excellence comes from a prayerful desire to do God’s will. 


That is why Grace K.I.D.S. is all about creating a program whose goal is to “reach and teach” Kingdom Inspired Discipleship for Students. 

sUNDAY MORNING CHECK IN

Parents and guardians can check-in their children (ages 3-11) at the entrance to the Grace KIDS hallway between 10:15 and 10:45 am. A security "pick up" card will be given to the primary parent who will pick up their child from the WOW Room using this security card for identifciation purposes at the end of the worship service. 


Children are given a check-in sticker to wear that our volunteers will look for when they  are dismissed from the worship center at 11:15 for Children's Church* to match with our attendance list for that day.  


If this is your first Sunday, we will ask for a parent or guardian to complete a 2023-24 Grace KIDS registration form (just like the first day of school).


*Snack is part of Children's Church program so please let our staff know if  their are any allergy issues. 

Swaddlers and Toddlers

Our nursery opens for check-in on Sundays at 10:15 am and is well stocked for times when your little one is fussy or needs a change.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.    2 Peter 3:18

  • TEACHERS AND LEADERS

    When it comes to Grace K.I.D.S. ministry, we want volunteers who are fully devoted Christ followers, trustworthy servant leaders, and energetic personalities. 


    Volunteers with this unique and gifted set of criteria don't assemble themselves by magic; here at Place of Grace Campus, our developing volunteer process helps us identify just which people would make awesome kids leaders. Our children’s ministry volunteer process balances safety (background checks) with spiritual growth and maturity. We pray and are always on the lookout for servant-hearted, loving, and kind volunteers, and each one is an answer to prayer!

  • REACH AND TEACH

    Everything that we do in Grace K.I.D.S. is focused on accomplishing two things – reaching children with the gospel and teaching them how to live for Jesus. 


    A Biblically accurate and easy to follow curriculum ensures sound teaching combined with spiritual discovery. The weekly subject matter and lesson take home should be relevant to kids’ lives and the culture. Kids should be excited about the ideas they are learning and the activities they’re asked to do to reinforce their learning

  • WELL CHILD SICKNESS POLICY

    Due to the numerous respiratory illnesses, and other viral infections that can spread easily through contact, and to have all of our children well and in the classrooms with us on Sunday mornings, we are implementing this Well Child/ Sickness Policy for all children, teacher-leaders, and assistants for the health and wellness concerns of everyone connected to this ministry.  

    If your child has or is exhibiting any of the following symptoms, we lovingly ask you that you do not bring them to class, but instead care for them at home, so they can join us again soon. 

    • FEVER: The child should be fever-free for 24 hours without medication.

    • VOMITING/DIARRHEA: The child should be episode-free for 24 hours.   

    • ALL VIRUSES and STREP THROAT: The child should have started antibiotics at least 24 hours before attending.

    • NASAL DRAINAGE: The child should not attend until mucus is clear.

    • SORE THROAT/COUGH: The child should not attend with a sore throat, croup or persistent coughing associated with a respiratory infection.

    • PINK EYE:  Attend only after 48 hours of antibiotics, no crusting, matting or drainage occurs, and the child is no longer rubbing the eye.

    • CHICKEN POX: The child may not attend until all spots are scabbed over and the child is no longer scratching or touching scabs. 

    • RASH:  Children with an unexplained or contagious rash should not attend.

    • LICE/OTHER INFESTATION:  Children should not attend until after treatment, and all live lice and visible nits have been removed.

    If your child comes to a Grace K.I.D.S. nursery, classroom, or event with any of these symptoms, or if your child starts to exhibit any of these symptoms, we will notify you to come and pick up your child immediately. Our ministry team has “no touch” forehead thermometers to check their temperature if the child appears to be unwell, and please note, we cannot administer any type of medication to the children placed in our care. 

    Questions/Concerns? See the Grace K.I.D.S Ministry Director-Jennifer Moran, or the Swaddlers and Toddlers Nursery Team Leader-Susan Rivers. Again, we kindly appreciate your cooperation with this policy as it ensures the wellness of all our children and our volunteer staff, so that we can all be together and enjoy learning about Jesus, and having Kingdom Inspired Discipleship.
