At Grace Kids, your child’s safety is our top priority. We have a secure check-in and check-out system, and only approved individuals can pick up children. Our volunteers undergo background checks, safety training, and screening to ensure a secure environment. We follow the two-adult rule, and classroom areas remain locked during services.

We enforce strict health, emergency, and child protection policies, with trained responders on-site and a zero-tolerance policy for abuse. Volunteers use only appropriate interactions, and digital safety measures prevent unauthorized photos or online communication. 

Safety is a partnership, and we welcome open communication with parents. For more information or to schedule a visit, contact us at kids@mygrace.com.

At Grace Kids, we believe every child should have the opportunity to learn about Jesus in a loving and inclusive environment. Our Buddy Program is designed to support families of children who may need additional assistance in a typical classroom setting.

Through our Buddy Program, we aim to provide a caring and trained team member who can walk alongside your child, offering the support they need to engage in worship and classroom activities. To ensure we understand each child's unique needs, we ask families to complete an intake form before their first visit. This helps us create the best possible experience for your child.

While we strive to provide a Buddy for every child who needs one, our team is limited. If a Buddy is not available on a given Sunday, we will do our best to accommodate and welcome your child into Grace Kids in a way that makes them feel safe, loved, and included. However, if we are unable to provide a Buddy and determine that it would not be a safe or supportive environment for your child, we can work together to find an alternative plan. Your child’s well-being is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and partnership.

We are honored to partner with families in making church a place where every child can grow in faith and community. If you have any questions or would like more information, please reach out to our team at kids@mygrace.com.
