Family Faith Formation
Grace's Church School Ministry provides opportunities for children, youth and families to experience God's love, be inspired by God's word, and be transformed by God's spirit.
Then Jesus took the children in his arms, placed his hands on each of them and blessed them.
Mark 10:16
Grace's Church School Ministry provides opportunities for children, youth and families to experience God's love, be inspired by God's word, and be transformed by God's spirit. We offer a caring and safe environment for children and youth to explore their growing faith and experience God's love and grace.
Noah’s Ark Nursery
Babies and toddlers are important members of our worshiping community. Should little ones (or their parents) need a break, we offer nursery care from 8:45 a.m. to 11:15 p.m. every Sunday. Children are cared for and receive lots of TLC in the Noah's Ark Nursery under the supervision of Liz Griesedieck, our nursery coordinator. You are welcome to take your little one to childcare at any point during the service. The nursery is located on the main floor near the elevator.
Sunday School
Grace's Sunday School program is open to all children between the ages of 4 and 18. Students meet weekly throughout the school year to explore faith, make friends and have fun. Classes, led by volunteer members, begin Sundays at 9:45 a.m. and overlap with the 10 a.m. worship service. Students join their families in church in time to share Holy Communion.
Students in preschool through 2rd grade explore their faith through stories, gain religious language and enhance their spiritual experience through wonder and play. Older elementary students dive deeper into Bible studies with hands-on lessons and fun activities. Classes stimulate a sense of faith and wonder in students' minds and hearts.
Students in 8th grade (and above) are invited to be part of our confirmation program. Creative lessons encourage students to explore what faith means to them and come away with the knowledge to decide whether or not they want to be confirmed in the Episcopal Church.
High school youth are invited to come together for faith, food and fun. The Episcopal Youth Community meets regularly for Sunday school, social events, community service and worship events.
Seasonal and Special Events for all ages are scheduled throughout the year.
