Grace Kids and Youth
Hello! Welcome to Grace Church!
Grace is an intergenerational community of faith. Children and youth are encouraged to participate in the life of our congregation in our services of worship, programs, and various ministries.
We have “Pew Pals” available for Sunday mornings. Just pick up a bag as you enter the sanctuary. We also provide Nursery Care (up to 4 yrs) and Growing Into Worship (4-10 yrs). Youth group meets twice per month with special events too! Grace families events happen regularly. Check out the website for more detail and join us!
Grace is committed to “Safe Church” a program that ensures all of our staff and those who volunteer in children and youth ministries undergo background checks and complete training mandated by The Episcopal Church to keep our kids safe.
Kids and Youth FAQs
There is a nursery available every Sunday from 10:00 – 12:00. The nursery is geared for kids aged 0 – 4.
We also offer Growing into Worship for elementary-aged children, held in the kid’s space during the 10:30 am service.
We do believe having children in service is an asset, and we encourage families to bring kids along if they feel comfortable doing so. There are “Pew-Pals” for kids with child-friendly bulletins, coloring pages, and more activities for them to do during the service.
Here at Grace we believe that everyone plays a vital role, including the littlest members of the church. We believe that having children in a service is not a distraction but rather adds to the worship experience. We do offer a kids “church” during our second service called Growing into Worship.
Growing Into Worship (GIW) is a program where kids are invited to experience the Liturgy of the Word for the first part of the service in the kids’ space downstairs and rejoin the congregation for Communion.
We are not currently offering any snacks to kids.
Grace Youth offers a variety of events for kids as young as 6th grade up until they are a senior in High School.
The easiest way to find out what is happening in the youth ministries of Grace Church is to contact Sarah Shea, Children and Youth Director, via email. At any given time there may be a laser tag, a bible study, or an overnight event happening!
