Children

Our Future And Our Priority

The children’s ministry at Grace is the premiere ministry of the church. Leaders from nations around the world have come to study this model, so they can implement it in their network of churches back in their countries.

The Westminster Catechism states, “The chief aim of man is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever.” We couldn’t agree more, and these two truths are foundational to our children’s ministry. We seek to develop the spiritual senses of our children (ages 6-11) so that they can enjoy the depth and quality of relationship with God that Jesus went to the cross to obtain for us. Out of this intimate relationship with the Lord, we seek to develop both godly character and spiritual giftings, which bring glory to God. We serve a generational God – “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” – and so we are a generational church. We believe that “…out of the mouths of infants and babes you have ordained praise…” Our children are our future, and that is why we place a priority on their generation.

During the spring and fall semester, our Children’s Ministry meets regularly on Wednesday nights at Grace Community Fellowship from 6:00-9:00 PM.

Hi, I’m Dasia Taylor and I’m very excited to be one of your children’s leaders! I love kids so much, and am excited to see what God does through this year and the years to come!

MaKayla Hobbs

CHILDREN’S VOLUNTEER

MaKayla loves the opportunity to be used by God in the lives of children! Her heart is to advance God’s kingdom by helping each child discover a personal relationship with Him. Her desire is that each and every child recognize how loved and special they are in not only her eyes, but in God’s as well. She takes joy in all things creative, & wants to impart that joy through planning fun games and events for the kids, & teaching them to use their gifts for God. She is currently pursuing her bachelor’s in Elementary Education to become a teacher.

Daniel Sweeney

CHILDREN’S VOLUNTEER

Daniel Sweeney is a huge bonus to the Children’s Ministry Team. Having grown up in the ministry himself, he brings an passionate encouragement to the kids around him. Daniel leads by example to worship with your whole heart, to move in spiritual giftings, and to obey the voice of God. Daniel was born with two holes in his heart and was not expected by doctors to live past 30 days. But God had another plan for this young man. His life preaches that by faith all things are possible with God.
