Welcome! It is our desire to partner with and support families showing each child how to love God's world, be in God's family, and live in the joy of God's gospel. We do this by viewing our children in the context of the local body of Christ -- understanding that our children are not “the future church,” but a critical and unique part of our community right now.

Loving our children well means: 

  • We care for the spiritual and physical safety of our children, families, and volunteers 
  • Each relationship is a foundation of Gospel discipleship 
  • Loving and supporting parents means equipping them to be the spiritual leaders of their families

Questions about the sacraments?

Many families in the Children's Ministry have questions regarding baptism, communion and kids’ membership. These are important aspects of the faith here at Grace Mills River. Our leadership would love to meet with you to share how the membership process works for families with children. If you would like to know more, please contact Christen Stewart.
