Wednesday Night

ADULT

Adult short term studies are offered beginning at 6pm in room A2.  We know some maybe coming from a busy day at work, so feel free to bring a snack or dinner.  For parents that have kids attending the youth and children's programs, we will finish up by 7pm, to allow for timely pickups.    

 

For additional information on current studies, please contact our .  

Youth

Middle and High School Students meet at 6 pm in the main building for GYM (Grace Youth Ministry). Dinner is provided. Worship begins at 6:30 pm in the Sanctuary. After worship, there are small group meetings until 8 pm.

ChILDREN

From September-May, Grace Kids holds an array of age-specific Faith Milestone events, music opportunities, and family events. 

 

Every Week:

  • Children’s Hand Chime Choir, 5:30-6pm (K-5th Grade)
  • Childcare with dinner and spiritual enrichment activities is provided from 6-8pm for children whose parents or siblings are participating in another ministry on site at Grace UMC.  

 

Faith Milestones

 

At Grace, we believe that you are never too young to experience God’s love!  That’s why we have a series of age-specific events to help kids (and their parents!) dive more deeply into their faith.
