The Good News has the power to change every life, and kids are no exception. In fact, studies show that people are MOST likely to accept Christ when they’re 4–14 years old. This means that how we lead our kids to follow Jesus when they’re young can change the trajectory of their whole life!
OUR CURRICULUM:
Kids experience the good news of the gospel through Bible Classes that are:
Christ Centered: It’s all about Jesus, and every story points back to Him.
Heart Transforming: Designed to encourage true transformation that comes only from the gospel.
Age Aligned: Every child from PreK-Grade 5 studying from the same section of Scripture.
Chronological: The narrative of the Bible in order, from Genesis to Revelation.
Theologically Rich: Every class is age-aware and doctrinally sound and thorough.
Missionally Minded: Calls children to respond by sharing and living out the gospel.
The Gospel Project takes children on a journey through the entire Bible, helping them see the big picture of God's story from Genesis to Revelation. Rather than learning Bible stories as disconnected events, kids will discover how every part of Scripture fits together into one grand story of God's plan to rescue and redeem His people through Jesus Christ.
One of our primary goals at Free Grace United is biblical literacy. We want our children to know God's Word, understand how it all connects, and develop a strong biblical worldview that will guide them throughout their lives. In a world full of competing voices and ideas, it is more important than ever for kids to understand what the Bible teaches and how God's truth shapes the way we see everything.
But even more importantly, we want every child to know that Christianity is not just about knowing Bible stories—it's about knowing Jesus. Every story in the Bible points to Him. Every page whispers His name. As we walk through Scripture together, we'll help kids see how each week's lesson connects to the gospel and how they can grow in a real, personal relationship with Jesus.
We believe this curriculum will help our children not only learn the Bible but also learn to love the Author of the Bible.
We can’t wait to help our kids discover the greatest story ever told!
We’re passionate about working together with parents and guardians to disciple kids!

CHURCH SERVICES
-
Our heart for our youngest kiddos is for them to experience the love and security Jesus offers. We can do this in a tangible way in our nursery environment. Drop off your little one in our nursery during church services, where they’ll play, hear a Bible story, and get prayed over by trained, caring volunteers.
-
When your kiddo is potty trained, can walk, and can communicate, he/she is ready for our preschool Bible Class! Preschoolers get a simplified version of our elementary Bible Classes, where they’ll learn the basics of Christianity at their age level.
-
Our 5 to 11 year-olds are the age group that is most receptive to the Good News. We take this opportunity seriously, and our Bible Classes are structured environments where kids will not only learn essential theology, but they’ll also be loved as unique image-bearers of God, and guided in practicing important elements of Christianity. Our elementary kids are together for the majority of their church experience, but may break into grade-based small groups for discussions and activities.

FOUNDATIONS: Bedrock truths from the book of Genesis
CLICK HERE to see the outline for the year!
Every week during services, your kids ages PreK-5th grade will be digging into Genesis 1-12, where they’ll learn all of the core Christian doctrine that is foundational to our faith.
We have something for everyone at our church services!
All of our kid’s programming at FGU is run by volunteer Jesus-followers who want to help kids follow Jesus. They come from a variety of backgrounds and bring a variety of gifts to the table!
We have high standards for our volunteer teams:
We require regular background checks for all team members
New applicants are screened with interviews and/or pastoral references
All volunteers receive consistent, individual coaching & training for safety procedures
Our policy is that two volunteers serve together at all times
An approved adult must be present when children are in our care
A First Response Team is available via radio in case of an emergency
HELP US REACH KIDS!
Kids can volunteer, too!
Children as young as 3rd grade can use their gifts as Junior Leaders. We believe that serving is a vital part of discipleship, and we love giving kids that opportunity!
To become a Junior Leader, we ask kids to demonstrate leadership in Bible Class (by participating, attending regularly, following directions, etc.). After one month, we help them get plugged into a volunteer team! We have serving opportunities throughout the church (depending on location). Talk to your location’s Pastor or Kids Team for more information!
If kids are the people group most receptive to the Gospel, we have a great harvest in front of us – and we ALWAYS need more workers in the field! Join our team today!
