GRACE KIDS
The Mission
Grace Church exists to make disciples and plant churches by proclaiming and displaying the grace of God to sinners and sufferers. As a church we are a family of families reaching families in our region. Our family ministry permeates all that we do.
Grace Kids is a ministry to the family partnering with parents in the journey of our children’s discipleship. We do this by equipping our parents in gospel-centered parenting, incorporating family worship into our Community Group gatherings, and providing age-appropriate, Jesus-centered classrooms at our Sunday gatherings. The mission of Grace Kids is to see children, also sinners and sufferers, transformed by the grace of God into disciples who treasure Jesus, have deep friendships, and boldly evangelize.
The Wins
Our Parents: Our parents are equipped through teaching, modeling, and resourcing to shepherd their children’s hearts in everyday life—time, moments, and milestones.
Our Groups: Our groups living as families and loving one another’s children through teaching, helping, and encouraging.
Our Sundays: Our Sunday classrooms supplementing our families by providing an age-appropriate context for our children to hear the Word, sing the Word, and pray the Word.
Classes are available for ages 3 months- 3rd grade at our FW Congregation and 3 months - 2nd grade at our Aledo congregation.
In Fort Worth, 4th and 5th Grade will receive age-appropriate context the first Sunday of the month during the service and will be invited to engage in fellowship, worship and age-appropriate teaching with the youth on Sunday evenings the remainder of the month.
The Resources
In our Sunday classrooms we use The Gospel Story Curriculum by Marty Machowski.
In our Community Group gatherings we use The Gospel Story Bible or the complementing devotionals Long Story Short and Old Story New by Marty Machowski.
We recommend our parents use these same resources in family worship—at home, around the dinner table, at bedtime—throughout the week to complement our Sunday classrooms.
We recommend our parents also use The Northstar Catechism in family worship. Download the PDF or buy the flashcards here.
