Childcare

Purpose
The Grace Bible Church Nursery/Childcare Ministry is committed to partnering with all the ministries of our church by providing childcare support for the practical needs of our ministry work.

Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe, pleasant, and nurturing environment while looking for teachable moments to share God's love with the children and their parents.

Schedule
Childcare for infants and toddlers through age 2 is provided for the 10:45 Sunday morning service only, All other childcare for Tuesday mornings, and Wednesday evenings are suspended due to Covid. During most church-wide special events, we provide childcare for infants and toddlers.

Infants and Toddlers (10:45 AM Sunday Service Only)
Childcare is provided by a team of church volunteers with long-term experience for the main 10:45 AM Sunday Service only. We have spacious rooms with quiet crib areas, as well as a stimulating play environment.

Quality Care
GBC caregivers have a serious responsibility. They are entrusted with the children's safety and are required to remain alert for safety hazards and potential accidents. They provide prompt and professional care for our children's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Caregivers are sensitive to these needs according to the development stages of the children, and they take opportunities to help lay a spiritual foundation in their lives. Jesus' love is best taught through loving attitudes, and our caregivers are dedicated to teaching Bible truths by example.

Caregiver Qualifications
Our caregivers are thoughtfully selected based on their experience and temperament. They are required to submit a statement of affirmation of faith in Jesus Christ, and a thorough background screening is done before position placement.

Summary
We realize that the emotional and spiritual care of our children are of highest priority and that it will determine the likely return of members and visitors for future services.
