Christian Education
At Grace we believe parents, teachers, and the church are in partnership to encourage our children and youth in the faith. We seek to provide an atmosphere in which children and youth identify church as a place where they feel accepted, affirmed and loved, as well as a sense of belonging.
Adult Church School
Adult Church School classes meet weekly in the Adult Classroom to study and support adults in nurturing their faith and discipleship. Classes meet from 9:30-10:30 a.m. each Sunday and are led by an outstanding faculty of members, staff, and friends of the church. Bible study, faith formation, and contemporary issues in church and society, as well as the lectionary readings for that Sunday, form the curriculum. During the seasons of Lent and Advent, special opportunities for faith formation are offered. For more information or questions about any of these classes. please contact Pastor Diane.

Children Church School
Opportunities for Christian education are available every Sunday for all children grades 1 thru 6, at 10:15 a.m. We present biblical stories as the basis for our Christian faith and understanding. Lessons are shared in ways that invite everyone to engage in hands-on experiences with learning and mission. They meet in the Children’s Classroom.
Kid’s Club
Kid’s Club activities are centered on Christian spirit, mission, and fun. A light meal is provided. It meets Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00 p.m. during the school year and is for all children in kindergarten through 6th grade. Children do not have to be a member of Grace to participate. We welcome grandchildren, neighbors, and friends. This is a fun time for them to learn Bible stories about Jesus, eat supper together, play games, and do special creative activities. Please reach out and invite the children around you to come. Suggested donation: $15 per child for the whole season – $30 family maximum.
Presbyterian Youth Fellowship (PYF)
Grace’s youth meet once a month for PYF. PYFs include dinner, activities, and fellowship with some PYFs centered around serving for church events or mission projects. Parent volunteers and Youth Sponsors support PYF by providing food and chaperones. PYF is a perfect opportunity to be with church friends and bring new friends to join the fun. Open to all youth in the community in grades 7 thru 12.
