Kids are a big deal to God, so they're a big deal to us! 

 Our heart for every child who comes through GH Kids is to not only learn about God, but to genuinely know God and know how to walk with Him while having a ton of fun, building real friendships, and feeling like this is their church home too.

Core Values for GH Kids

Strong Faith

We believe every kid can have a real relationship with God and walk with Him all the days of their life. We don't believe it is inevitable for every kid to walk through a prodigal season.

Empowered by God

We believe that kids can be led and empowered by God. There is no junior Holy Spirit.

The Most Important Work

We believe that what happens in GH Kids is the most important work our church does on a Sunday morning.

  • We utilize a check-out tag system to ensure kids are always leaving with the correct adult

A member of our team will be stationed in the GH Kids lobby to help walk you through everything!

After that, we'll provide your nametags and security stickers, and walk you to your classrooms.

We intentionally plan for our snacks to be allergy friendly! We usually offer the same snacks for each classroom every week, but you can always ask your child’s teacher what snack will be offered that day. 

We’ll also ask if there’s any allergies we should be aware of when you’re checking-in for the first time and make sure they’re printed on your child’s nametag.

GH Kids Events

From building cars out of cardboard for our Drive-In Movie Night to jumping across inflatables at our End of Summer Bash, we're investing in making Grace Hills a church your kids will love too.

Be on the lookout for upcoming GH Kids events, including VBS every summer!
