Our mission in Children's Ministry is to provide an environment of love and acceptance where the Bible is taught and a spiritual foundation is laid that will lead a student, in God's timing, into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In addition, we strive to provide numerous opportunities for our students to grow and develop in their Christian faith.

Don't forget to invite your friends to come with you to Sunday School... to meet your teacher, learn great stories from the Bible and have fun with you at church. Come early to the game room at 9:30 am on Sundays, in room 206.

For fifth and sixth graders, get on board with our Preteen Ministry, The Corner of 5th and 6th. Sunday morning Bible study happens at 9:45 in room 201. Then on Wednesdays at 6:15 we have a great format of exciting activity and music.

What can you find at KGBC for kids? Our Children's Ministry offers...

We provide Sunday School for all children at 9:45 am.

Preschool Children (birth through kindergarten): All classes are divided according to age. Each class is monitored by loving adults who care about the physical and spiritual well-being of each child. We use age appropriate literature that combines both Bible stories and crafts. These classes can be found on the first floor of our Education Building.

Elementary Children (grades 1-6): There is a Bible Study class for each grade 1-5. Our curriculum offers quality teaching and activities that are age appropriate and biblically based. Children learn through games and activities along with small group interactions. We are committed to giving kids a sequential view of the Bible so they can better understand how the people and events all fit together to tell God's story. All children's classes can be found on the second floor of our Education Building.

Children's Church: All children in Grades 1-4 are invited to Children's Church, worship that is designed with children in mind! We combine easy to learn music with a Bible lesson just for kids. Let kids worship...like kids! Fun music videos with motions lift hearts and hands to God. Cool arts and crafts bring focus on the Creator. All of this is to help tell stories kids can relate to!

Pre-Teen Ministry (grades 5-6): Something new this year is our pre-teen ministry, currently focusing on rising fifth and sixth graders. The older children have special needs that are different from the rest of the children's department and even different from middle school students. While this group will be under the children's ministry, there will be special activities for just pre-teens, led by leaders with a heart for this age group.

Pre-teens Reaching Out (Project PRO) is the pre-teen ministry at King's Grant, made up of students in grades five and six. One fact is that senior adults are a large population in our society and they are often lonely. We can meet companion needs but reaching out and getting involved. [ Read More ]

A part of our Little Neck campus community is the King's Grant Academy & Day School, which is owned and operated by Sharon Clark. The academy (up through grade 5) and day school meets five days a week, and is fully accredited by The International Christian Accrediting Association.

We value families worshiping together, and we want to make it easier for parents to introduce their kids to this exciting part of their spiritual journey. Katie will meet the children upstairs after Sunday School and escort those in grades 1-4 to the sanctuary around 10:55. They will be dismissed as a group to Hands On Bible prior to the sermon. If your kids are sitting with you, they are welcome to come with us. In "big church" the children will experience worship through song, prayer, the Lord's Supper, and through giving. The children will be in room 17 for you to pick up after the service.

There are a few things we would like you to do.

• Talk to your kids and let them know if they will be sitting with you or with the children's church volunteers. If you know any children that might not be attending with their family, ask them to join you and your family.

• Please be patient with your kids. We recognize that sitting in church can be intimidating, boring, and no fun for kids so we are going to make this service exciting and inviting for kids. Let the kids stand and get their wiggles out during the songs and teach them how to follow along.

• Bring a quiet activity and let them be responsible for the offering.

• Teach them to ask quiet questions and tell them why the Lord's Supper is not a snack.

• And remember, take them to the bathroom before the service starts!

Prior to the sermon, Grades 1-4 will be dismissed to Children's Church, but feel free to keep them if you wish. Teaching your children how to worship can be a rewarding adventure for everyone since worship is the only thing we can do for eternity.

We believe that part of the teaching of children is to teach them about worship. We want to help your family worship together. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask either me or any staff member. We look forward to hearing how this works for your family.

Blessings, Your Friends at King's Grant

In addition, our children serve in local mission projects and participate in fellowship activities throughout the year.

We are here to serve you and your family. Please feel free to contact us anytime.

Hello Parents,

Beth and Katie have been collaborating on ways to involve our students in ministry and using their God-gifted talents and abilities. We have developed a "Student Impact" Mentoring Program that allows for students to be mentored by adults, grow in their own discipleship and leadership skills, as well as provide them an opportunity to mentor the children of KGBC. 

Students are scheduled on a rotational basis to work with children in grades 1-4, alongside our Director of Children's Ministries, teaching a dynamic curriculum. Students are given roles and responsibilities such as running centers, games and experiments, leading Bible Study and facilitating discussion.

Criteria for students to be involved in the "Student Impact" Mentoring Program are:

1. Parent Approval to be scheduled at 11am for one Sunday per month
2. Age- Must be in Grades 10-12
3. Demonstrate responsibility for their spiritual growth by regular attendance at Worship Service and Bible Study
4. Exhibit maturity in words and behavior while working with children
5. Communicate promptly with Katie Goodmurphy when they are unable to fulfill their scheduled service due to illness or other conflict

Once we receive parent-approval via e-mail or verbally, Katie will contact your teen to see if they are interested in impacting the children of KGBC through the "Student Impact" Mentoring Program. Thank you in advance; this is an exciting opportunity for me, the children and the students!
