KIDS CONNECTION (4 YEARS OLD THRU 6TH GRADE) Sunday Mornings | 9:15 am & 11 am Each Sunday, in each service, after the music, kids are dismissed to our Sunday morning kids program: Kid’s Connection. Upon arrival, you'll be able to check-in your children on the concourse. Your first time, they may need to be registered, but then after that it's quick and easy. Each week we balance a variation of fun, crafts, games, videos and music to teach our kids about Jesus and help them connect with each other, with our leaders and with their creator. Kids can be picked up and signed out after each service from the Kid's Connection room on the west side of the building. NURSERY (NEWBORN THRU 3 YEARS OLD) For the little guys, we have our Nursery which is available before and through each service. You can drop them off at any time once you arrive. Then you can pick them up and check them out after the service. Our awesome nursery workers will take great care and love on them during the service so that you can have peace of mind as you worship in the service. Building Relationships KIDS CHECK-INS HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO HELP SPEED UP THE PROCESS OF CHECKING IN YOUR CHILD FOR YOUR FIRST VISIT. We use a check-in system as an added security measure when your kids arrive on Sundays, or at any event. If you'd like to speed up that process, feel free to fill out this form so that your household is set up ahead of time (be sure to add your children to your household and include their grades and birthdates). Then download the Church Center App so that you can easily check them in when you arrive. The Church Center App is also a great way to keep up with what's going on at Grace Fellowship. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” MATTHEW 19:14 CHILDREN'S MINISTRY It has been said, “It takes a village to raise a child”. At Grace Fellowship, we think the best kind of “village” for a child consists of a healthy family and a healthy church. Our Kids Ministry is filled with loving teens and adults who are happy to come alongside parents as they invest in helping their children become all that God created them to be. No matter their age, we think children need to be nurtured and loved as they are pointed to the One who is the very definition of love: God Himself. Questions? kids@graceduarte.com Special Events In addition to our Sunday morning program, we like to plan special events throughout the year as another way to connect with the kids. From Summer Programs to Movie’s on the Lawn to water obstacle courses. We want your kids to associate “church” with having fun and connecting with friends. Check out our events page to see what might be coming up.

GRACE GROUPS Grace Groups are the primary way adults at Grace Fellowship minister to each other. The purpose of these groups is to draw people into relationship with each other in such a way that they will do life together. It's very difficult to describe true fellowship, and it's even more difficult to develop. During the course of a session with a Grace Group, you'll experience first-hand what it's like to have your life woven in with the body of Christ. It's not easy, but it is worth it. At Grace Fellowship, we are about loving God, loving people and changing the world. By being a part of a Grace Group you will have the opportunity to do just that. For more information about Grace Groups, contact Pastor Doug .

WHAT WE BELIEVE MISSION STATEMENT LEADERSHIP THE BIBLE We believe that the Bible is the word of God, supernaturally inspired, so that it is inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God in its verbal, complete inspiration, so that it is the divinely authoritative standard for every age and every life. THE TRINITY We believe that the Godhead exists eternally in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - and that these three are one God. THE CREATOR We believe in God as absolute and sole creator of the universe, and that creation was by divine fiat. Man is created in the likeness of God, apart from any evolutionary process. HE CAME We believe that God, by His sovereign choice and out of love for men, sent Christ into the world to save sinners. All people are sinners who fall short of the glory of God. HE LIVES We believe that Jesus Christ, in the flesh, was both God and man, that He was born of a virgin and that He lived a sinless life, in which He taught and wrought mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as revealed in the four Gospels, that He was crucified, died as a penalty for our sins and was raised from the dead, bodily, on the third day. Later, He ascended to the Father's right hand where He is head of the church and intercedes for believers, and from whence He is coming again personally, bodily, visibly to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom. HE SAVED We believe that since His death, by His shed blood, the Lord Jesus Christ made a perfect atonement for sin, redeeming us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us - men are saved, justified, on the simple and single ground of the shed blood. SALVATION We believe that such salvation with its forgiveness of sins, its impartation of a new nature and its hope of eternal life is entirely apart from good works, baptism, church membership or man's effort and is of pure grace. SECURITY We believe that a true believer is eternally secure and that he cannot lose his salvation, but that sin may interrupt the joy of his fellowship with God and bring the loving discipline of his Heavenly Father. HEAVEN We believe that all who receive Christ become joint heirs with Christ and at death their spirits depart to be with Christ in conscious blessedness, and at the rapture their bodies will be raised to the likeness of the body of His glory and dwell forever in His divine presence. SPIRITUAL GROWTH We believe that it is the goal of every Christian to grow in spiritual maturity through obedience to the Word of God and the indwelling Spirit, as evidenced by the Lordship of Jesus Christ. HOLY SPIRIT We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person, is God, and possesses all the divine attributes. He indwells all believers, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, and fills them in response to confession of sin and yieldedness.

Never before has being a young adult been so challenging and filled with opportunities. At Grace Fellowship, the young adults “do life together”. We build real friendships, face real struggles, and experience real victories. We’re not just floating through life; we’re changing the world one life at a time, and we’re doing it together. Questions? garret@graceduarte.com YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY WHAT WE DO Young Adults Group If you are out of high school and looking for a community of fellow young adults to grow spiritually with then this group is for you! Similar to Grace Groups, we will gather to discuss recent sermons, Bible verses, and topical things from a Christian perspective. We hope to build into each other's lives during and outside the group meeting days. We will be meeting every other week, so get plugged into our chat and find out when the next time we will meet! Meetings are generally held EVERY OTHER WEDNESDAY NIGHT at Garret and Ro's Home from 6:30PM-8PM. We also often enjoy going out to dinner together afterwards, so don't miss out! If you'd like to join us, email garret@graceduarte.com or you join our group through the ChurchCenter App in the Groups Page. Join our group The first thing we encourage Young Adults to do is join our group chat in our Church Center Group. We’re constantly getting together to go out to eat, see a movie, celebrate birthdays or just about anything else that gives us an excuse to hang out. RELATIONSHIP We believe that all of ministry should be done through relationships. So, we encourage everyone to get involved by volunteering and attending regularly so that you can start building relationships with other young adults. We believe that God uses these relationships to strengthen the body of Christ and build the church.

WHAT WE BELIEVE MISSION STATEMENT Our mission is to glorify God by continually striving to present every person complete in Christ through introducing people to Jesus, growing toward Christian maturity, developing as ministers, and mobilizing for local and world missions.

WHAT WE BELIEVE MISSION STATEMENT LEADERSHIP LOVING GOD. We’re really excited about Jesus Christ. Each one of us is living in the blessing of His love, grace and mercy every day. We have devoted ourselves, first and foremost, to loving Him. We express our love to Jesus by worshiping Him with our whole lives. We do this by worshiping Him during our times of private, personal worship and also when we gather together to worship Him every Sunday morning. LOVING PEOPLE. We were never meant to walk through life alone. God created us to live in community with one another. Jesus taught that the surest testimony to the reality of our faith would be our love for one another.That’s why we’re devoted to “doing life” together. At Grace Fellowship, you’ll find a place not only to believe, but also to belong. Come fellowship with us. CHANGING THE WORLD. Jesus said that He came to give us abundant life. There are so many people that are not experiencing the fullness of that kind of life. We’ve all heard the statistics. The crime rates, poverty, broken families and broken lives. Surely, this is not what God intended for us. Jesus has given His hope to the world through the Bible and His church. Let’s dispense that hope; along with God’s mercy and grace. Let’s do it together
