children's ministry

Nursery is open for babies-preschool. Older children (through 5th grade) are dismissed to Children's Church right before the sermon.


We love children here at GraceChurch and have a variety of age appropriate activities. Sunday School for kids of all school-aged children is at 9:30am in the educational building. Then, kids head to Children's Church (through 5th grade) during the 10:30am Worship service.  (Dismissed before the sermon.)


Occasionally, older children will remain with their families. Other activities such as Vacation Bible School, Easter Egg Hunt and Trunk-or-Treat are planned throughout the year. Contact us at heather@gracechurchcolumbia.org with any questions!
