Grace Kids is a fun, safe place for kids to discover the adventure of following Jesus. It happens during all Sunday services, across all our campuses. All children from ages 1 to Grade 6 can attend and be signed in by their parents. At Grace Kids we use creative, relevant and age appropriate bible teaching, a time of singing, dedicated small group and activity time to ensure that kids get the most out of their hour on a Sunday.

When does my child move to the next age group environment? 
When your child goes to Grade 1 they can move up to Grace Kids Primary.

In our Pre-Primary and Primary environments we intentionally work to create relevant and age appropriate programs that are specifically geared towards these 2 environments. We want to help children get the most out of the hour on Sunday and give them a deep understanding of who Jesus is and who he can be for them in their lives. We would hate for any child to miss out on any part of the adventure of following Jesus because we are not reaching them at the level they are at. Therefore we invite and encourage you to partner with us in helping your children build their relationship with Jesus in a relevant way by asking you to encourage and inspire them to participate in their correct age appropriate environment.

For Children in Gr 1 – Gr 6
Our primary school children get together for a time of games, singing and a creative and relevant message followed by age appropriate small group time that reinforces the message and helps them discover their faith.

Is your child asking to be baptised?
Watch this short clip with your child which explains everything you and they need to know about baptism.

Then you may want to ask them these questions to make sure, they are sure they want to be baptised:
Why do you want to be baptised?
Where did you hear about baptism?
How long have you wanted to be baptised?
What do you think baptism means?
Do you think baptism makes you a Christian?
Why do you think Christians get baptised?
Should you or your child need any more information on baptism please email Judy on judy@grace.org.za

New parents are often struck with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and responsibility for their new baby, and feel compelled to make a definite response to God over these emotions.

Dedicating your child provides a platform for you to begin a partnership with God and the Church in raising your children.

At Grace we believe that the primary spiritual influence in a child’s life is their parents. We would therefore like to partner with you and give you tools to help you speak about, and model your faith at home so your child can discover and develop a meaningful and authentic relationship with Jesus. Baby dedications is the first step in this journey.

We believe that Baby Dedications are not a tick-the-box traditional practice that you have to feel obliged to do as Christian parents,  but rather an incredibly intentional act to:

• Praise God and thank him for the gift of your baby.
• Make some promises as to how you want to raise your little one and how you will model your faith to them at home.
• Pray for your baby, and for us to pray for you as parents and your family.

If you still have questions or would like to know more please email our Grace Kids director Judy on judy@grace.org.za.

What if my child is reluctant to go into the room? 
If your child is anxious about the new environment, here are 3 easy tips you can follow:

1. Arrive early as it is far less intimidating for a child to come into a quieter room than a room full of children they may not know.
2. Stay with them just until they settle.
3. Let your child bring a friend, it always helps when they know someone.

Remember if your child becomes very upset we will notify you via the screens in the auditorium so keep your tag with your unique code handy.

What if my child is sick? 
If your child is sick we ask that you don’t bring them to church as they may pass it on to other children.

What about snacks? 
At a certain time during the hour we will give the children a treat of a small bowl of flings or Mari biscuits and diluted concentrate juice. If your child is allergic to any of these or if you would prefer them not to have, please alert the volunteers on duty and pack an alternative snack for your child.

What else does Grace Kids do?
Grace Kids host annual FUN DAYS as well as an annual combined Holiday Club during the July holidays. Contact your Grace Kids Pastor for more on these.
We also facilitate Baby Dedications and kids Baptisms.
