Welcome to GBC's Children’s Ministries:
"Children Reaching Others for Jesus!"

We provide care for all children - ages infant through sixth grade - Sunday mornings at 8:30, 10:00 and 11:30AM. Each service provides children with the same Bible concepts presented in different styles. All of our teachers have completed a Teacher Covenant Form, submitted a background check, and been interviewed by the program director.

Infants/Toddlers

Our infant and toddler programs aim to provide a loving, nurturing, secure and clean environment that is centered on Christ. The infant room is for children 0-12 months. The toddler room is for children 12-24 months.

Age 2

The two-year-old class is for children ages two to three. This class provides a little more structure and a transitional area for children between the ages two to three. The focus of this class is to nurture, love and play with these children while presenting them with an age-appropriate Bible lesson.

Ages 3-4

Three- and four-year-olds are offered an age-appropriate program that centers on basic Bible truths. The curriculum is from David C. Cook and is entitled "Boz-God's World and Me". The teachers use Boz the bear to introduce children to God's word through games, Bible stories, hands-on crafts and snacks.

Preschoolers

Our preschool Sunday school is for children ages 4-5 who will be entering kindergarten. These children are provided with a fun yet structured learning environment that enables them to explore their relationship with God and others through Bible time, worship, playtime, crafts and snacks.

Kindergarteners

The Kindergarten class is for children who are currently in kindergarten at school. This class focuses on real-life applications. The children learn that God is important and relevant in every area of their lives. They explore God's word through Bible stories and hands-on activities.

Grades 1-6

Groton Bible Chapel also offers programs for children in grades 1 through 6 on Sunday mornings. Children first gather for worship as a group and then split into classrooms. There they interact with the teachers and each other to understand God’s truths in the Bible and how they can live out their faith in their daily relationships. Our children’s ministry vision statement, “Children Reaching Others for Jesus!” is reflected in the lessons and experiences of the children each week as they seek to grow more like Jesus and reflect His love to their world, reaching family and friends with the gospel of Jesus!

Special Needs

On Sunday mornings at 10AM, we offer a Sunday School class for children above first grade with special needs. This class provides children with a loving, safe and appropriate environment tailored to their specific needs, and teaches them about God’s love for them. This class always has at least two teachers in the classroom, and pagers are available for parents if necessary. (Children younger than first grade with special needs are integrated into the regular classrooms.)
