  "The Place For Kids”

Thanks for dropping by!

Did you know that children who are in the 1st - 5th grades are important to Grace Baptist Church because they are important to God. Jesus said that kids are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "Whoever welcomes a little child in my name welcomes Me." (Mt. 18:5) That's why our ministry to 1st-5th graders is dedicated to excellence; we love Kids, Jesus and His Word. We want you and your child to join us and find out why Grace Baptist Church is "The Place For Kids!"

serving others in jesus name!

The first - fifth grade children at Grace are getting ready to start their “Fall Project Of Love” for the Tennessee Baptist Children’s Home in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Deborah Dawson, our Project Of Love Coordinator, made contact with the Children’s Home in Chattanooga and was told they needed the same items as in our “Spring Project Of Love” listed to the left.

We are encouraging each child to ask for extra jobs around the house so they can earn the price of an item on the list. This serves to deepen their awareness of what foods actually cost and reinforce their joy of giving. Please keep our Grace children in your prayers as they learn to serve others in Jesus name.


Thank you!

Kids in action children's ministry

CHECK US OUT!

BIBLE STUDY "LIFE GROUPS":  We offer Sunday morning Bible study for all ages starting at 10:00 a.m. The classes are in small groups by grades where kids enjoy the attention of loving teachers as they learn the Bible and make new friends. 

BACKYARD KIDS CHURCH: You will not want to miss the "Backyard Kids Church" for more action packed learning. Our teaching team is in high gear with well planned games, songs, skits and lessons that present salvation and Christian living.   We meet in the Children's Center gym at 9:00 A.M. and 11:00 A.M.  We also celebrate "Family Worship" on the 5th Sundays during the year. 

SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE DISCIPLESHIP:  Return on Sunday evenings from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. for large group Bible teaching that strengthens young Christians and builds up their faith. (Col. 2:6)  Kids experience lessons that train them to become Champions for Christ.  (NOTE: Temporarily Not Meeting)

FISHERKID'S MISSION CLUB: Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m. is our mission emphasis "Fisherkid's Mission Club" based on (Mark 1:17)  kids reaching other kids.  Mission news and stories about missionaries from the past and the present reinforce the Christian's responsibility to obey the Great Commission that Jesus gave to His church. We teach kids how they can do mission work even while they are young.  Kids On Mission projects include: visits to our nursing homes, make thank you baskets for firemen, police and health care workers and to learn how to share one's faith in Jesus.  We share the Gospel around the world with the "Operation Christmas Child" shoebox ministry through Samaritan's Purse. 

GOOD NEWS CLUB: is a ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship in which trained volunteer teachers meet with groups of children in elementary schools with their parent’s permission. Each week the teacher presents an exciting Bible lesson using colorful materials from CEF Press. This action-packed time also includes songs, Scripture memory, a missions story and review games or other activities focused on the lesson’s theme.

(NOTE:  Clubs are not meeting due to COVID19)

JUBILEE KIDS CHOIR: The Jubilee Choir is for children in 1st through 5th grade and practices on Wednesday at 5:30- 6:15 p.m. in the Worship Center music suite.  

BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS: Outrageously fun learning while spending time together continues throughout the year with activities just for kids.  Also, check out our fun conversation starter around the family meal time called the "Family Table Talker" 

VBS,  Summer Kids Camp and Fun Field Trips during the summer.  Each activity is staffed for safety with an emphasis on teaching valuable life lessons as the kids grow in their ability to cooperate with their leaders and each other while building friendships that will last a lifetime.
PRAYER: The power in ministry comes through prayer to reach kids for Jesus Christ and teach them to be productive in the family of God by growing to become like Jesus Christ.
