Kids at
Grace Church
Here at Grace Church we are passionate about investing in the next generation: we want to raise up children and young people who love and serve Jesus and enjoy the abundant life he wants to give them!
Explorers
For 1s-3s, our kids work gets started part way through our morning services (except for occasional family services and during the summer holidays).
Play, toys, games, craft, singing and stories all help our children EXPLORE what Jesus has for them and their own personal friendship with God.
Please register your child using our permission form here: https://forms.gle/APYmtLBE5RSECf5J7
(parents/carers of children younger than 1 year old are welcome to use the Explorers room but must stay with their child)
Adventurers
We have recently changed our age groups to better serve our growing kids work:
Adventurers is for children who are ages 4-7.
(EYFS - school year 2)
We want our children to know that life is an ADVENTURE- lived at its best with Jesus.
Through games, teaching, prayer, drama, crafts and loads of fun, we hope to help children engage with the Bible, encounter God through prayer and build great friendships with each other.

Trailblazers
We have recently changed our age groups to better serve our growing kids work:
Trailblazers is for our older children who are ages 8-11.
(school years 3-6)
Our prayer for these kids is that they become increasingly excited to step into all God has for them in their lives.
That they would hear God's call on their life and His plans for them to "Trailblaze" new paths and into new places for the the expansion of God's kingdom.
Through bible study, prayer, and loads of fun, we aim to meet with God as well as enabling great friendships to grow with each other.

Explorers Toddler Group
Coming soon: running every Wednesday morning (term-time), our Explorers toddler group is a lively and supportive group for babies, toddlers (pre-school children) and their parents to socialise, play, join in activities, sing together and share snacks.
Home For Good
Coming soon: we are passionate about adopting and fostering, and have a number of families in our church who are in the process of adopting and have experience fostering. We are in the process of exploring being a ‘Home For Good’ church which we hope will become a reality really soon, but for more information check out Home for Good below.
Home For GoodSafeguarding
We record basic details from parents and carers before we welcome children into our kids’ work to ensure we are caring for them to the very best of our ability. Please register your child for kids’ work at the start of the service so we can make sure they are really well looked after. You are also very welcome to accompany your child into the session if you would prefer.
You can register your child in advance using our permission form here: https://forms.gle/APYmtLBE5RSECf5J7
All our staff and volunteers operate to strict guidelines, are DBS-checked and involved in regular training. For more information, please see our Safeguarding Policy below. We are always keen for new children to join or visit and our children’s work leaders are on hand before and after sessions to answer any questions, or to find out how we can care best for your child.
Alternatively we are very relaxed about kids staying in the main meeting and don’t mind at all kids making noise and joining in however they want to!
