Ministry Purpose / Vision

We believe that even at a young age, children can begin to know God’s love and build a strong foundation of faith.

At Jr. Grace Kids, our heart is to see kids (3 to 6 year old) grow in their faith and love for Jesus. In a fun and caring environment, we help them BELIEVE in God’s Word, CONNECT with their church family, and learn to SHARE His grace with others. Every story told, song sung, and act of kindness is planting seeds that last forever.

Who we’re looking for

✅ This role is perfect for those who love working with children and want to make a lasting impact in their faith journey

✅ Jr. Grace is a medium-energy, up-front ministry where volunteers actively engage with kids through teaching, games, songs, and relationship-building

✅ It’s ideal for people who are patient, caring, and enjoy sharing God’s Word in fun and creative ways

✅ If you have a heart for helping children BELIEVE in Jesus, CONNECT with their church family, and SHARE His grace with others, you’ll find this role both meaningful and rewarding

Serving in Jr Grace Children’s Ministry is designed to fit your schedule:

  • 1 to 2 times a month during the 9am Sunday service
  • Arriving 15 minutes early to get settled
  • Prep time for teachers is minimal since lesson plans and materials are provided. Assistant teachers can help prep before the children arrive, if needed
