Children at Redeeming Grace

VISION

God’s Family Showing Jesus to our children

We believe the entire church, as God’s covenant community, is called to join parents to show Jesus to our children, that they might know "the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done . . . that the next generation might know [God's word] . . . so that they should set their hope in God . . ." (Psalm 78:4, 6-7).

We do this at many times, in many ways, including classroom teaching (Sunday school, Wednesday morning kids’ Bible study); corporate worship (Sunday morning and evening worship); and special events (Created for a Purpose Girls' Camp, Kids' Night at the Church); praying for individual children (children’s prayer initiative); and relationships with families and children.

We welcome you and your children to worship with us! We provide Sunday school classes for all ages, and we invite your children to join you for Sunday morning and Sunday evening worship.


Nursery (ages birth through 3 years) is provided during these times:

Sunday School (Sundays 9:15-10:00 a.m.)

Morning worship (Sundays 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.)

Evening worship (Sundays 6:00-7:00 p.m.)

Wednesday Women's Bible Study (Wednesday 10:00-11:30 a.m.)

Sunday School Children's Curriculum: The Biggest Story is a 2-year chronological Bible study that helps children understand God's plan to redeem the world through his Son, Jesus, by leading them through the overarching story of the Bible. Each class learns from the same passage of Scripture each week, which helps parents reinforce the lesson with all their children at home. We are currently working our way through the Pentateuch, where we are discovering not only how the universe came into being, but also how we came into being, how sin entered the world, and also about God's plan to set his people free and set them on a path of obedience and blessing. 


Every week, we also focus on learning a Bible verse related to that week's lesson, along with a "Big Truth" that summarizes the lesson content. The weekly Bible verse and Big Truth are posted on the classroom doors, church bulletin boards, and in the Narthex (all church members are encouraged to pick up a card and learn with us each week).

Children & Worship

We love children and want them to enjoy the worship of God with His family.


Each Sunday during the morning worship service we invite the children forward for a special children's sermon that relates to the pastor's sermon. We strategically put this about 25 minutes into the service so the kids can get up and move around. That helps them adjust to being in worship for an extended time.


You will also find that many of our children sit with different people each Sunday. This occurs so that the responsibility of teaching children how to worship is felt by all. We truly are a family!


We encourage children to stay and be a part of the worship service as long as they can. But we understand that might not be possible for every child every week. To help parents, we have a TV just outside the sanctuary that streams the worship service. Parents can stay with their children in this area, giving children a little more wriggle room, but also allowing parents and children to be part of the worship service.  


In addition to that, we also provide a nursery (for children 3 years and under) during the service with workers who have been properly screened and trained to ensure our children's safety.
