\n2. We’re intentional.\u00a0<\/strong>We’re not just babysitting back there while you’re in service. Family Ministry\u00a0gets only about one hour a week of your kid’s life, so we take advantage of every moment to teach\u00a0the gospel and show the love of Christ<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0all our kids \u2014 from infants through high school.
\n3. We teach the Bible.<\/strong>\u00a0Scripture is central to all of our age groups.<\/span> In Early Childhood, we focus on the person of Jesus Christ\u00a0revealed\u00a0in the Bible’s stories. In Elementary, we work our way through\u00a0the entire Bible and the gospel thread\u00a0in it every single year. And in middle and high school, we focus intently on different books and passages in scripture, answering hard questions and applying truth to student life.
\n4. We meet your children right where they are.\u00a0<\/strong>We create age appropriate classes, lessons, games and activities with your child’s social, emotional and mental development and spiritual questions in mind. We want your child to walk away knowing and remembering truth \u2014 so nothing too long or heavy for the little guys, nothing too silly for the older ones.<\/span>
\n5. We’re on your team.<\/strong> Our Early Childhood and Elementary programs offer weekly take-home materials to help your family focus on God throughout the week. We walk with you throughout the year to help you know whether your child is ready for a big spiritual step, too, like baby dedication, following Christ or being baptized.\u00a0We’re also here to help with your child’s or student’s unique spiritual issues, needs and questions.<\/span> Just ask.
\n6. We play it safe.\u00a0<\/strong>Grace requires professional background checks for\u00a0all volunteers, and our electronic check-in system keeps classrooms secure.\u00a0Our equipment is sanitized weekly, and medical professionals are on-call.\u00a0We also keep your cell number close and text you with\u00a0updates and photos of your child having fun \u2014\u00a0especially if they have a hard time at drop-off.
\n7.\u00a0We help you create spiritual memories in your home.<\/strong>\u00a0In addition to weekly\u00a0activities,\u00a0we provide take-home kits during the Easter and Christmas seasons with a month’s worth of devotions, ideas and activities to help you celebrate these important holy days together.
\n8. We have fun. <\/strong>Our team loves kids, and that means we love a little crazy sometimes!<\/span> From special events to parties to just an average day in class, Family Ministry knows how to have\u00a0a good time.
