Grace Families
The Grace Families ministry serves kids and students, birth to 18 years old. We believe that Scripture calls parents to be the primary disciple-makers in the lives of their children, and yet we also believe that the Church is called to make disciples of the next generation. Therefore, in all we do, we seek to work together with parents for maximum impact, building a strong, gospel-centered foundation for the next generation.
Kids
Grace Kids offers a discipleship program for children of all ages on Sunday mornings. We disciple children through teaching the Scriptures in fun, age-appropriate ways, helping them learn who their Heavenly Father is and what He has done for them in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Children learn about Jesus through The Gospel Project lesson, worship and Missions Moment. We encourage community by gathering together in small groups where team members lead age-appropriate discussions based on the Bible.

Students
Middle School students gathering Sunday mornings at 9A & 11A. Middle School students join their parents for worship in the main auditorium and then are released to the Warehouse for the Middle School message.
High School students are invited into the main worship gathering on Sunday mornings and meet separately on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month.
Grace 14:18
We have a foster care and adoption ministry for families called Grace 14:18. Our mission is to encourage, support, and equip families that God has brought together through adoption or foster care, to preserve at-risk families by partnering with local and global organizations, and to galvanize the whole church to biblically respond to the plight of the orphan and vulnerable children.
Grace GEMs
Grace GEMs – God’s Exceptional Miracles – is a ministry serving infants through young adults with special needs and their families. In addition to providing accommodations to children during our Sunday program, we also encourage our parents/guardians to find strength from others on similar journeys, find serving opportunities for teens and young adults with special needs, or find (OR BE!) a companion to accompany children in Grace Kids or the Grace Students program.

Family Discipleship
Discipleship of children begins in the home. Scripture doesn’t present parental discipleship as a one-size-fits-all model, which is why it so important that we learn from each other, seek wisdom, and adapt as parents to best serve our children. Our ministry wants to come alongside parents to help them craft their own approach to family discipleship. We believe that sincere family discipleship can take shape throughout moments and milestones.
MOMENTS
Parent your children intentionally by capturing moments in your daily, monthly, and yearly rhythms to teach and train your kids in gospel-centered conversations.
- Family devotional ideas
- Holiday themed devotionals for families
- Missions Month family activities
- Bible reading plans
MILESTONES
We encourage you to celebrate and remember significant spiritual milestones in the lives of your children.
- Parent And Child Dedication
- Baptism
- Major grade transitions
- 5th Grade Blessing Celebration
- 8th Grade Celebration
- 12th Grade Celebration
Parent and Child Dedication
We value this opportunity to partner with you in the discipleship of your child. When we receive a child from God, it is right that we recognize that child as dedicated to God for His glory.
The Parent and Child Dedication Milestone provides you with the opportunity to learn, prepare and commit to a lifelong journey of discipling your child. During the Parent and Child Dedication Ceremony you will make a commitment before the Lord and the Body of Christ at Grace to raise your child according to God’s Word and God’s ways.
