Just for Kids
We love our children at GPC and believe that they are a blessing from God. Our purpose for each of our children is to make them disciples of Jesus Christ. Our purpose is not purely entertainment, but we do want to have fun. Our purpose is not to just provide babysitting, but we do want to provide a safe environment. We want children at GPC to enjoy going to church and learning to be a part of worshipping community.
Every Sunday morning, we offer
- Nursery for children who are not walking
- Nursery for children who are walking (up to age three)
- Children's Teaching for preschool through second grade
Children are a part of our covenant community and we believe it is important for them to see their parents worshipping and to be curious about Christ through their observation and participation of such elements as singing, praying, and the Lord's Supper. We want to be actively evangelizing and discipling the children that God has given us. We want to come alongside parents in their God given role to tell their children the wonderful news of Jesus Christ.

Younger Elementary
Topic:Loving Jesus
Teachers:Lana Thames
Description:Loving the promise of the Savior; meeting him and responding to him. In this time, the children learn that love comes from God, and that he loved us first. Because of his great love for his people, he sent his Son, Jesus, to save them from their sins. This is a wonderful opportunity to help your children understand what it means to love Jesus—to praise him, believe his Word, follow his commands and show love to others. Children will be challenged to trust the Savior by remembering, listening, and obeying and seeing the real Jesus.
