Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

The Children’s Ministries of Grace Chapel exist in order to support and encourage parents in the shepherding of their children by offering various resources and quality programs that will help them to grow in their knowledge of, love for, and obedience to Jesus Christ.  The following is a breakdown of the various ministry options available:

• Nurseries for Newborns through Age 2 are available during every church service.  Our nurseries are staffed by parents, grandparents and ladies who love children and love the Lord.  We seek to show the love of Christ by the tender care and lovingkindness we show to these little ones.
   
• Sunday School Classes begin with the 1 year olds and continue through 6^th grade. They meet during the Sunday School Hour of 9:30-10:30.  We currently use Great Commissions Publications in Preschool through 6^th grade classes.
   
• 2^nd Sunday Sing is a song time for ages 5 through 6^th grade which meets in the Auditorium from 9:30-9:50 before Sunday School on the second Sunday of each month.
   
• Children’s Church is an option during the Worship Service for children ages 3 through Pre-Kindergarten. Children’s Church is designed as a Christian Pre-School; trying to teach those things that prepare a child for Kindergarten but from a Biblical perspective. The quarterly units of study include: Animals, Colors, Numbers and Community Helpers. Teachers are on a 6-week rotation.
   
• Junior Church is an option during the Worship Service for children in Kindergarten and First Grade. These children join their parents for the beginning of the worship service and then are dismissed to their class prior to the sermon.  Children are encouraged to participate in the worship service by singing, listening and looking, for they will be asked questions about the service when they arrive at class.  The studies in Jr. Church include: Books of the Bible, Character Qualities, Bible Characters from A-Z. We do not provide classes after 2^nd grade but encourage parents to hold their children accountable for joining in the worship service, taking notes on the sermon, answering questions on the way home, etc.
   
• Sunday Evening is a time for all children (age 3+) to meet with their church family and experience singing, praying, greeting one another and hearing the Word together. During the winter quarter we often have small group studies for all ages called Growth Groups in which children have special classes.
   
• Wednesday Night Bible Clubs meet from 7-8 pm during Adult Bible Study and Prayer Time.  There are 5 classes of Bible Clubbers and each class has their own Bible studies.  These classes are less formal than Sunday School with learning centers, Bible review games, drama and other creative ways of reinforcing God’s Word.  Each class also has 10 Bible Memory Verses during the school year and those who learn their verses are privileged to visit the Memory Store at the end of the year.
   
• Vacation Bible School is held during the 3^rd week of June from 9:00 to 11:30, Monday through Friday.  Classes are provided for ages 4 through 8^th grade.  An opening skit, singing, snacks, recreation and crafts accompany and reinforce the daily Bible lesson.
