Grace Kids Nursery is a warm, caring environment for infants up until their 3rd birthday. Our nursery has been safely outfitted to meet the unique needs of your child during these developmental years. We love to keep your little one safe and comfortable while you worship, learn, and grow. 

Preschool through 5th graders experience an engaging time of worship and then break into their classroom. In our Toddler room we provide an active, hands-on learning experience filled with singing, dancing, teaching, colorful crafts, and lots of laughter as your child learns that God made me, Jesus loves me and I have a friend in Him forever. 

Preschool through 5th graders experience an engaging time of worship before breaking up into classrooms where they connect with others, learn from leaders who love Jesus, and dive deeper into God’s truths. Throughout these formative years, your child will explore a chronological order study of the bible beginning at the school year.

Our Family Entrance is located behind the church in the large parking lot. 

Welcome! We’re so excited to meet you and your child. Your first step will be to register at our Check-In Kiosks. We’ll be there to create your account in our secure check-in system, answer any questions, and escort you to your child’s Grace Kids environment located in the lower level of the building. 

We have safety policies in place from check-in to pick-up and would be happy to answer any questions you have about keeping your child safe. Here’s a brief overview to get us started:
 
Our environments are secured before, during, and after services by security personnel who only permit appropriately identified individuals (kids, parents with a Pick-up Tag, and approved volunteers) into our ministry.

Every Grace Kids volunteer completes a certification process and undergoes child safety training before being permitted to serve in this ministry. This process includes a background check, status as a member of Grace Gospel Fellowship Church.
 

In all Grace Kids classrooms, we serve animal crackers and water. If your child has allergies, we provide a sticker with a red dot during Check-In to alert our Grace Kids volunteers. You will place this sticker on your child’s printed name tag and write the allergy on our sign in sheets next to your child’s name. We do provide alternative snacks for children with dairy, soy and milk allergies (fruit snacks).

We generally prefer to not accept outside food into our environments. This helps to ensure a safe and healthy place for our kids. Should you need to provide a specific food item for your child, please contact:

For the protection of all children and our Grace Kids volunteers, we request that parents do not leave a child who appears ill in our Grace Kids environments. Children who display symptoms including. high fever, vomiting, pink eye, thick nasal discharge, etc. will not be received in our environments. If a Grace Kids volunteer determines your child has a fever of 100 degrees or higher, your tag number (series of numbers & letters) will be shown on the screen during service. Please check your tag number if you ever see one on the screen. All environments are frequently sanitized. Thank you for working with us to keep all of our kids and volunteers safe and healthy. 

If your child has a medical condition that requires them to bring an epi-pen, insulin kit, or any other form of medication with them into their environment, please let the Grace Kids Director know. They will work with you to set up a plan that provides the best experience for your child.

If for any reason your child is unable to stay in their environment, your tag number (series of numbers & letters) will be shown on the screen during service. Please check your tag number if you ever see one on the screen. 

If your child has believed in Jesus and accepted God’s plan, baptism could be the next step. There’s no set age, but your child should understand salvation and baptism in their own words. Be patient and ask questions to hear what they think. When they know about their sin and need God’s forgiveness, they’re ready. Please contact our Grace Kids Ministry Director for next steps. We’re excited to walk with you and your child on this journey!

Child dedication is a commitment to raise your child in the ways of the Lord. This dedication is not a statement of salvation for your child, but rather a statement of how you will raise your child. While not a command of Scripture, baby dedication can be a symbol – similar to a wedding band – of your desire to obediently raise your child in the knowledge and instruction of the Lord. It should be done with a community of believers who know you personally and can commit to walking with you in this commitment.

Throughout the year, we offer opportunity for young children to be dedication to God by their families. We typically have child dedication services two times a year. The dedication ceremony is a symbolic way for parents to offer the child to God and recognize that as parents, they are stewards of the child's life. It also acknowledges the parent's intent to raise the child in a God-honoring manner.
As a part of this dedication, you as a parent commit to:

• Publicly affirm your personal faith in Christ as renew your dedication to Him and His Word.
• Pray for God's direction in your lives and in the lives of your children
• Faithfully participate in a Christian community as a family
• Teach your children the Truths of God's word
• Anticipate and seek to lead your children to a personal faith in Christ

The next child dedication ceremony is TBD. Please contact Ginger Couch at gcouch@gracegospelfellowship.org
