Celebrate Wonder Sunday School Curriculum
Celebrate Wonder is a Sunday school curriculum that engages children’s natural sense of curiosity to help them understand God’s love. It creates a safe environment for kids to ask big questions — helping them explore the Bible in ways that feed their imagination and encourages creativity. It engages children in open-ended exploration and inquiry of the Bible. Through experiential activities, spiritual practices, and reflection, Celebrate Wonder All Ages serves as a biblical guide to help children make meaning for their lives. Through carefully-selected Bible stories, songs, videos, and hands-on activities, Celebrate Wonder gives children the tools to explore their faith while incorporating it into their daily lives.
So, don’t just ask what your child learned during Sunday School; let them know what you learned too in worship service! We long for your family to grow together in faith.

Our children’s ministry is a Safe Sanctuaries program!
Safe Sanctuaries is simply an effort through policy and procedure to create a safe place for the most vulnerable of our church family and our visitors. All our volunteers undergo background checks and we do not allow anyone with a criminal background to work with our children, although they are welcome to participate in other areas of ministry at Grace. Safe Sanctuaries is a “social structure that is consistent with the Gospel” allowing our sanctuaries, classrooms, mission encounters, camps and retreats, and all spaces where we gather to worship and serve God to be in places of trust. You may learn more about Safe Sanctuaries here.
If you have any questions about the children’s ministry at Grace, you may contact our Director of Children’s Ministry, Carolyn Young, HERE.
Summer 2024: Vacation Bible School & Theater Camp
Join us June 24-28, 2024 for Vacation Bible School! COME JOIN CAMP FIRELIGHT, surrounded by water, trees, and rolling hills, Camp Firelight is the perfect location for every Camper’s favorite summer activities! During each assembly session, Campers join first-time camp counselor Sam and Lu, the lightning bug puppet, and learn to face their fears while trusting in God. Each day, Campers see Counselor Sam face new challenges, from as simple as leading Campers on a hike to meeting a new and wise nature expert. With the help of Lu the Lightning Bug and the Camp Counselor Sam and our Campers explore timeless Bible stories that show how Old and New Testament Campers trusted God in the face of their own fears and went on to do great things in God’s name. Fun Camp Firelight activities will include music, crafts, encounters with small animals and so much more. Registration is $100 per child and you can register via the link HERE.
Then, from August 12-16, join us for Theater Camp where we'll present "The Princess and the Frog: Our Way!" This week of theatrical fun has activities for those wanting to be both on the stage and off, concluding with a dinner theater performance that Friday evening. Registration is $250 and you can register via the link HERE.
