KID CITY

Nursery through 5th Grade Ministry

Offered at Both 9 & 11 AM Services

Welcome to Kid City!

At Grace City, we believe that children are incredibly important to God—and to the mission of the church. In Scripture, we see Jesus embrace children, speak of their faith as an example, and call us to raise them in the ways of the Lord.

Kid City exists to partner with families in leading children to know, love, and follow Jesus. Every Sunday, we create a safe, engaging, and welcoming environment where kids can encounter God, grow in their faith, and build meaningful relationships. Through age-specific teaching, interactive activities, and caring leaders, Kid City is helping raise up the next generation of gospel-rooted disciples.

“Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.”

— Matthew 18:4–5

Classrooms & Expectations:

  • Our nursery is a peaceful, nurturing space where trained volunteers provide gentle care for your little one. Children will join the rest of the kids in being dismissed partway through the service and will be guided by our team to their classroom.

  • Preschoolers enjoy a fun and interactive class that includes play, story-based Bible teaching, simple crafts, and group prayer to introduce them to God’s love in a way they can understand.

  • This class includes games, a short gospel-centered lesson, and leader-facilitated discussion that helps children connect God’s Word to their everyday lives.

  • Older kids are invited into deeper conversations about faith. Class includes hands-on learning, thoughtful discussions, and application activities that equip students to live out their beliefs with growing confidence.

Curriculum

We use The Biggest Story Curriculum by Crossway, a gospel-rich, theologically grounded resource that helps children see how the entire Bible tells one unified story—centered on Jesus. Each week features beautifully illustrated visuals, creative activities, and age-appropriate lessons designed to captivate young hearts and minds while grounding them in the truth of Scripture.
