MISSION
The mission of Grace Kids is simply to bring our kids to Jesus. We strive to help our children know Christ and begin a healthy and growing walk with Him. We strive to model the heart of Christ as shown in Luke 18:16-17 ESV.
"But Jesus called them to him, saying, 'Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.'"
AGES
For any children between the ages of one and three years old, we offer a nursery program where the kids will be supervised while they play with toys, eat snacks, have story time, and other activities. The older kids (from the ages of 4 to 8) will be going through the Answers Bible Curriculum from Answers in Genesis curriculum, where they will be having a weekly lesson, playing games, memorizing scripture, singing songs, having snacks, praying together, and much more!
It is expected that at the age of 9 kids will be able to join their parents for the adult service upstairs.
MINISTRY LEADERS
OJ and Brittni have been involved with Grace Church since moving to Indiana in 2011 and have been directing the children's program as volunteers since 2013. OJ joined our church planting movement with this church here at Purdue back in 2004 while Brittni joined in with Awaken Church in Jacksonville, FL in 2008 at the University of North Florida. Both of them love the Lord and have a deep desire to see Grace Church become a place where all people, no matter what stage of life, can come to experience a personal relationship with God and grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

VOLUNTEERS
We love having volunteers come and help watch the kids with us. Having quality volunteers can really help to foster a safe and fun environment for the kids. For this reason, we perform a simple background check on all volunteers who will be in the Grace Kids room.
