Service Times
Early Childhood programming is for children 2 months old to preschool, and meets during the 9AM & 11AM service at Southwood. Our Welcome Desk is just inside the main doors where our Greeters will help you get set-up and directed to the correct classrooms.
Classrooms & Curriculum
Southwood Early Childhood Ministry is divided into classes by age which are led by screened, trained leaders. A typical morning for infants, crawlers, and walkers includes play and meaningful interaction in a safe, loving environment. The TWOs, THREEs and FOURs classes have a routine that includes a Bible lesson, hands-on activities, snack time, and play time.
Special Needs Ministry
At Grace Kids we love to welcome kids with all abilities to participate in our programming. We have a Grace Kids Buddy program available upon request for kids who might need individual attention on Sunday mornings. See below for more information and a Buddy request form. Our desire is to provide a Buddy for each child who would benefit from this program, but we may need time after a request is submitted to find a volunteer to partner with each child. We also have a Sensory room, which is a self-contained classroom where children with special needs are loved, known, and enjoy learning about Jesus during the 9am service. If you have any questions or feel either of these may be a good option for your child, please contact SouthwoodChildren@grace-bible.org.
Snacks & Allergy Info
If your child has an allergy, please let us know during check-in. The allergy will be noted on your child's name tag and highlighted in yellow. The following snacks are offered at Southwood on Sunday mornings: Infants - bottle or food from home only; Crawlers - plain Cheerios or Goldfish; Walkers, TWOs, THREEs, & FOURs - Goldfish crackers or aniaml crackers.
