CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

Partnering with parents to raise up

disciples of Christ

Our mission is to partner with parents as they build a strong spiritual foundation for their children — teaching them to worship God everywhere, become more like Him everyday, and serve others.

 

Our children's opportunities are different depending on whether your kids are toddler/infant age, or in grade school. Keep reading to see all of the ways that you can engage at TGC!

Sunday Morning Clubs

Sunday Mornings

9:00am-10:00am

Location varies by age

 

Sunday Clubs is a small group experience where children can build friendships with others who love Jesus and explore together what God says to us in His word. 

 

We use age appropriate Bible based curriculum which may vary by age group.  Locations for the various age groups are posted in the hallways. You may also ask a welcome team member for assistance.

Children's Worship

Sunday Mornings 

10:15am-11:30am (during service)

Sanctuary

 

Children are welcomed to  participate in sanctuary worship until the children’s message time. They are invited to the front of the sanctuary for a message from the preaching pastor. Following the message they are escorted downstairs to our worship classroom(s) where they remain until after the service. Our children’s worship time includes prayer, praise, bible story exploration in age appropriate ways and friendship building. 

 

If you wish to keep your child in the service with you, there are worship boxes available in the narthex containing colored pencils, crayons, small clipboards and paper, silent fidget toys and worship prompts for each week.

DivorceCare

Held January through April

DC4K is designed for children ages 5 through 12

 

DC4K is a special group designed  to help children with the separation or divorce of their parents. At our weekly DC4K groups, kids make friends with other kids who understand how they feel and the things they are going through because of the divorce of their parents. Best of all, children will learn how God’s love can strengthen them and help turn tears into hope and joy! You do not need to be a member of Triangle Grace Church to participate. This class runs concurrently with our DivorceCare Adult program. Our next session begins in January.
