Just like the foundation of your home, the spiritual foundation that is laid in the hearts of children is critical to everything that follows. The spiritual foundations we lay help to shape who they will be for the rest of their lives. The Children’s Ministry at Grand desires to raise up future generations that will speak of God’s awesome deeds and declare His greatness. We partner with parents in teaching Christ-focused and gospel-centered curriculum that emphasizes the story of redemption through Jesus as seen in both the Old and New Testaments.
One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
— Psalm 145:4–7
Foundations for Children meets every Sunday, 10-11 AM
Foundations for Children
This year’s curriculum for elementary children is entitled Treasuring Christ.
Treasuring Christ is a comprehensive curriculum that strengthens children and families by teaching them the gospel from Genesis to Revelation. The vision of the curriculum is to spread the fame of God by equipping godly generations to treasure Christ through a Gospel-centered curriculum for the church, the home, and the nations. Kindergarten through 5th grade will meet during the Foundations Hour for the school calendar year.
We are privileged to join with you in training your children to grow in their relationship with the Lord. Since preschool and elementary children will all be studying the same lesson each week, we hope this will promote great conversations and teaching opportunities within each family. It’s our prayer that God will be honored and glorified throughout this year.
