Children’s
Sunday School
Through our Children’s Sunday School program we
take advantage of the opportunity to take children deeper into the
Bible, thus discovering who God is and the joys He has in store for
those who trust, treasure, and know Him. Moving into our new facility
and adjusting the worship schedule has allowed for another dimension to
this ministry…worship in song. From 10:30-10:45am children and young
people from pre-school through middle school gather in the sanctuary and
use God-exalting music to call children to respond to God with a joyful
noise. Children’s Sunday School is available for all ages:
beginners/pre-kindergarten through sixth grade.
Time: Sunday Mornings,
10:30-11:45am
Location: Christian Education (CE)

Adult Education
Classes
We consider the adult education classes to be an
extension of our corporate worship and fellowship, a time when we can be
more informal with each other as we continue to learn about God and His
Word. During these times people are encouraged to ask questions and
dialogue, so that we might encourage one another, strengthen our
discernment, and deepen our spiritual relationship with God.
Time: Sunday Mornings,
10:45-11:45am
Location: Sanctuary and Library

Current Adult Education Class: Are
you a healthy church member? Sometimes we wonder, "Is my church a
healthy church?" But a healthy church requires healthy members.
come and join us during the Sunday School hour as Pastor Joe helps us
work through the question, "What is a healthy church member?" This
class will meet in the gym/fellowship hall at 10:45a.m.

Women’s Ministry
The prayer of Women’s Ministry is to be used by God
to point the women of Grace to our wonderful and amazing God, that
together we would grow in our knowledge and worship of Him. Our desire
is that we would be “rooted and grounded” in God’s love and “grow up”
spiritually in Him. We do this through deepening our relationship with
God and others.

Missions
Committee
Grace Church is committed to obeying the Great
Commission given by our Lord Jesus, to “go into all the world” and
preach the Gospel of Christ. We consider the 16 units of missionaries
whom we support with our prayers and finances, as our representatives
around the world. Missions accounts for about a fourth of our church
budget. We are very excited this year to send a family from our church
body out into the world – the Porter family hopes to leave for Honduras
this summer.
