ABFs provide a place for the Grace family to meet and study God's word together in a small group setting and have time for fellowship, prayer, and connection on a deeper level. Many of our ABFs are multigenerational, and we encourage believers of all different ages and walks of life to gather together in community. ABFs meet on Sundays during both services. We would love for you to check one out. For a list of the ABFs currently meeting, click the link below.

Grace Kids
This week we will learn that Jesus wanted his disciples to believe in him so they could live with him forever. Jesus told his disciples that because they had seen him, they had seen the Father.
God has always existed as three Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father sent the Son to rescue us from sin. He gives us the Holy Spirit to comfort us, show us our sins, and guide us as we live for God’s glory.
Please pray for our leaders as they prepare to teach this lesson. Ask the Lord to use them to help our kids know that Jesus alone is the way, the truth, and the life.
Summer Adventure
On behalf of the children and their families who attended Summer Adventure, THANK YOU for being the body of Christ and helping provide an incredible event where over 1,000 kids were taught what God is like in a fun, exciting and loving way.
Please pray that the Lord will continue to use what was taught this past week for his glory.
Opportunities to Disciple Our Kids
Opportunities are available on Sunday mornings and mid-week. If you’re interested in partnering with us, email us at kids@gracebaptist.org for more details.
AWANA 2023-24 Registration is OPEN!
The Awana curriculum helps kids, ages 3 years through 12th Grade, grow with God from small to tall. We use it as a tool in discipling children to belong to, believe in, and become lifelong followers of Jesus. Each week children and youth have fun playing age-appropriate games, learning from God’s Word through large-group Bible teaching, and memorizing Bible verses in a small-group setting.
