Student life is unique.  Student years are packed with opportunities and at Grace Church we aim to help students make the most of them.

Knowing that studying away from home can be difficult, we seek to specifically support and encourage our large student community.  This includes transportation, lunches, socials, adopt-a-student and homegroups.

All our students love the fun and interaction they have with the folks in our church. For many it really is a home away from home!

We encourage students to particiate in our wider M:28 youth and singles ministry.

We also actively support the Christian Unions in our local University campuses.

Kidz Klub is a Saturday morning children’s klub aimed at all children of primary school age (5-11 years old). 

It runs every Saturday morning, 10am-11am at The Village Hall, Emersons Green.  It costs £1 per child.

Messy games, music, dancing, drama – all designed to teach truths about God!

Here’s a map of where the Village Hall is!

The Bible is clear that the call of Christian parents is to train and teach their children the gospel. 

God has also provided the local church to train parents and to join with them in this responsibility.  As a church it is our desire to support parents in this effort. 

Although teaching and training children in the gospel is the greatest challenge and task parents have been given, God has provided many promises and reasons for faith in the process.

We believe that the simple message that Jesus died for our sins can and should be taught, even to our youngest children.

We’re a church filled with children.  Each week, we make it a priority to care for and teach our kids so that they look forward to Sundays as much as their parents do.

In “Generations” our goal is to provide an environment that is safe and fun, but with the gospel as the defining emphasis of everything we do during these hours. 

We seek to do much more than simply provide childcare while parents attend the Sunday meeting.

Each and every Sunday morning the children join in with their families for the corporate worship time, before meeting in their classes.

We offer Sunday school classes for children aged 4-11 years old, a creche for 1-3 year olds, and have a room set aside for mothers with young babies.

These classes are designed to help our children to know God, to worship Him, to respect authority, to grow in character and obedience to God’s Word, and to glorify God with their lives. Along with the classroom instruction we incorporate worship and crafts to make learning about God the most enjoyable time of their week. It is our desire that our children grow up with a positive church experience while learning the Gospel and the foundational doctrines of our faith at the same time.

The following pages (found at the top of the sidebar on the right) are designed to give you a glimpse into the various ways we are seeking to serve the people of Grace Church in their diverse seasons of life.

At Grace Church, we’re passionate about pursuing God’s design for marriage.  Strong marriages are fundamental to strong families and strong churches.  More than that, in Ephesians 5 the Bible teaches that our marriages are to reflect Christ and his relationship with the church.

At Grace Church married couples find a community that cherishes marriage and honours the God-given roles of both men and women.  We seek to provide a number of different contexts to strengthen families in our church.  These include:

• Care Groups.  These weekly small groups provide husbands and wives with the encouragement, counsel and meaningful relationships that help them grow.

• Family Matters Seminars.  These quarterly teaching seminars help married couples engage with the Bible’s vital teaching on marriage and parenting.

• Men’s Discipleship.  A monthly Saturday morning course trains men in doctrinal and scriptural truths and practical skills that help them to glorify God more fully.
