Kids are important to God! Jesus died because of His love for them, and Jesus calls kids to follow Him. Our Children’s Ministry mission is to partner with parents to build a foundation of faith and love that will lead a child in the life-changing pursuit of Christ. We want to show kids the love Christ has for them, and help equip kids to serve Christ and others. We acknowledge that God has appointed parents as the primary spiritual instructors in the lives of their children. Our role is to assist them. To do so, we offer a variety of ministry programs and resources designed to meet the spiritual needs of children and their families.

Sunday Schedule for Children:
9:00am Creation Station (Birth through Pre-K), Children's Church (Kinder - 3rd grade), & Crossroads (4th - 5th grade)
10:30am Creation Station (Birth to Pre-K) & Crossroads (K - 5th grade)
Creation Station
In Creation Station classrooms, children (birth through 1st grade) are introduced to God's love, his son Jesus, and to heroes from the Bible. Using Discipleland Preschool and Kindergarten curriculum, we teach our young students understandable Biblical truth through stories, crafts, and active play.
 Crossroads
CrossRoads drives the whole Bible home to 2nd through 5th graders. What better way to learn how to navigate the curves ahead! Using Discipleland Core Curriculum, our students learn thorough Bible knowledge, Christlike character, and faithful conduct -- and have fun doing it!
Children’s Church
Kindergartners through 3rd graders worship together during the first worship service. The goal of Children’s Church is to teach kids about the love of Jesus and to prepare them for "Big Church" by replicating the service at an interactive level they can understand. On Sundays, kids sit with their parents in the Sanctuary until the Pastor dismisses them after a song or two to the Children’s Church room. There, kids hear a short sermon, sing and dance to worship songs, learn memory verses, and journal, draw, or craft what they have learned.
 Discipleship Junction (Wednesday Evenings)
During the school year, on Wednesdays from 6:30 - 8:00 pm, children, Preschool through 5th grade, are invited to participate in a discipleship program. During this time, they will rotate through three stations: interactive bible stories, choir, & games.
Club D.O.K. (Daughter of the King)
In Club D.O.K., Tween girls and their moms participate in a program that teaches girls everything they need to know to make the transition from a girl to a young lady. Teaching includes topics such as manners, changing bodies, friendships, boys, and modesty. We deal with contemporary social issues from a biblical perspective in a Christ-honoring way. The year culminates in a Coronation Ceremony evening where the fathers of our princesses give their daughters their blessing.
Mother’s Day Out (MDO)
Mothers Day Out is an extension of the Children’s ministry at Grace Bible Church and provides a safe, loving environment that is Christ-centered and nurturing for the children of the program. Knowing that children are our greatest investment for the future, we encourage each child’s physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual development through playful learning.
The MDO program operates for ages: 6 months – 5 years on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30am – 3:30pm. Contact the church office for information, costs, and availabilities (830.779.5200).
