Youth and Kids

At Grace Church, we are passionate about our kids and young people growing in their love and knowledge of Jesus.  We want to give them the best foundations we can, and encourage them as they seek to engage with the stories of the Bible and a relationship with Jesus.  Our kids & youth work gives them the opportunity to discover God's love, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and is a place where they can make friends and enjoy exploring the bible together.

Grace Church Kids (Ages 4–11)
Welcome to Grace Church Kids! We provide a safe, vibrant, and fun environment where children can grow in their faith, build lasting friendships, and encounter Jesus.

When and Where
Grace Church Kids runs every Sunday in the Small Hall during our morning service times. We will display a message on the screens when it is time for the children to head into the small hall.
  • Session Time (1st Service): 09:45 am – 11:00 am
  • Session Time (2nd Service): 12:00 pm – 13:15 pm
  • Church Service Times: 9:30 am (First Service) and 11:45 am (Second Service)

Please register your child/ren for GC kids on arrival to the Grace Centre (before the service begins).  You can do this on the tablet in the lobby area.

​​Our Vision"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." — Matthew 6:33
​Our mission is to equip our children to seek, build, and advance the Kingdom by loving Jesus, building friendships, and influencing the world for good.

What to Expect
Each week, we explore a Bible theme through a mix of high-energy games, creative crafts, and engaging activities. Following a shared time of worship and Bible storytelling, children are invited to choose from five specialised activity spaces:
  • Create: Artistic expression and hands-on projects.
  • Think: Deep diving into the "whys" of our faith.
  • Explore: Discovering Bible truths in active ways.
  • Reflect: A quiet space for prayer and listening to God.
  • Connect: A social space to chat and enjoy a drink and healthy snacks.

​Safety and Wellbeing
The safety of your children is our highest priority. All sessions are led by a team of volunteers who have been safely appointed and DBS checked. You can easily identify our Team Leaders by their blue Kids Work T-shirts, ID badges, and lanyards.
Information for Parents:
  • Registration: When you register your child, you will receive a registration sticker. Please keep this safe, as it is required to collect your child at the end of the session.
  • Medical & Support Needs: If your child is visiting, please inform a leader at the start of the session regarding any medical, dietary, or additional support needs.

Get in Touch
The Grace Church Kids team is headed up by Aminat Abdulkarim and Glynis Bosman. If you have any questions, concerns, or simply want to say hello, please look for them on a Sunday morning or contact the church office.
​"Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." — Matthew 19:14

Youth - 33@GC


​Our young people, in school years 7-13, receive regular Sunday morning teaching which includes games and a discussion about a teaching or section in the Bible.  We also love our young people in school years 7-11 to come along to our Friday night youth club. The sessions are free and include a drink and snack, football, team games, table football, table tennis, pool table, card games and crafts and a short encouragement based on the bible.  We encourage the youth to bring along their friends to this session too.

Each Summer we take our youth to a Christian festival in Norfolk, called Newday, where 10,000+ young people meet to learn about God, to worship God and to have a whole of fun.
​
We love our young people to meet together to encourage each other in their walk with God.
