Ministry Details
At Grace Bible Church, we believe Jr. High and High school age children benefit spiritually by the teaching offered by our pastor during the main worship service. This is an age when children should be learning to digest messages filled with more “meat.” As Romans 10:17 says, “Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ.”
"Anchored" meets during our Sunday School hour at 9:30am, where we offer a Jr. High and High School Sunday class meeting upstairs in Room 220. We also encourage our students to attend our midweek study, which meets on Thursday nights from 6:30-9:00pm at the church (and sometimes off-site in the summer). Our Jr. Highers and High Schoolers play games, enjoy worship in singing, and hear a message from Pastor David before breaking up into small groups. This is a fantastic time of fellowship and learning for our students.
