Children's Ministry

Children's Pastor: Garry Irvin
Children are important to Grace because they are important to God. He said they are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven and "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!

Start Sunday morning with Bible study classes where kids enjoy the attention of loving teachers as they learn and make new friends.

Then join us in 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.

Sunday Night Live is our group session that strengthens young Christians and builds up their faith. (Col. 2:6) Kids experience lively lessons that Train Tomorrow's Champions for Christ.

Wednesday is our Mission Club, "Fisher Kids." Based on Mark 1:17, kids reach other kids. Mission news and stories about missionaries develop the vision of the Great commission and how kids can serve even while they are young. Home mission "Action Projects" include visits to the older citizens, thank you baskets for firemen, police and health care workers and "Light Up Tullahoma", a witnessing effort that has delivered hundreds of gospel messages and gifts of light bulbs. We also go world wide with "Operation Christmas Child" and "Bibles for the World."

Outrageously fun learning continues with our yearly retreats, VBS, Summer Camp and Terrific Tuesdays & Thursdays field trips. Each activity is staffed for safety and valuable life lessons as the kids grow in ability to cooperate with leaders and each other.

Our goal is for kids to know that church is an exciting and relevant place to be trained to be productive in the family of God.
