Children’s Ministry
Children are precious to us, as they are to Christ. As ministers of Christ’s love, our prayer is that we may serve you and your family.
Our children’s ministry at GBC exists to share Christ with the children of our community, team them with other Christians, advance them in their spiritual maturity, help them to recognize their spiritual gifts and to surrender their lives to God.
A glimpse at this ministry…
Child Safety & Security
Security for your child is a top priority at GBC. Children especially need to feel secure and loved in their environment. We have a security system in place anytime children are participating in church activities. Parents are also welcome to check in on their children at any time during a session (we ask you do so discreetly, however, so as not to disrupt), and to volunteer to be a part of their children’s activities.
Sunday Morning Connect Groups (Sundays 8 & 9:15 a.m.)
Ongoing Sunday morning connect groups are provided for 1st through 5th grade, where caring relationships are formed with loving adults, and a strong spiritual foundation is laid.
Kidstuf (Sundays 10:40 a.m.)
Let kids worship… like kids! Kidstuf is a God-focused, kid-friendly worship experience each Sunday at 10:40am for 1st-5th graders. Kids worship God through live music, life application videos, and Bible stories which bring focus on the Creator!
LockerRoom (Wednesday Nights 6 p.m.)
LockerRoom is a discipleship time for grade-school children where they explore the Bible through story, crafts, worship & games. Other groups are also offered on Wednesday nights including Bible Drill, Dance Ministry, & Sign Language.
