Preschoolers can hardly wait for their next club meeting. Whether it's the fun puppets, the exciting games or all their Cubbies friends, they simply love it. At Story Time each week, preschoolers learn about God – the greatness of His love and His Word – and about His Son, Jesus Christ, the promised Savior. Non-competitive games build excitement and reinforce Story Time lesson themes.

About
Souled Out is the Sunday morning Children’s Church ministry at Grace Bible Church for kids ages 4–12. After joining their families in the sanctuary for the opening portion of worship, children are dismissed to gather upstairs. Depending on the lesson or activity, they may be divided into two age groups for more focused engagement.
This ministry helps children grow in their understanding of God’s Word, who Jesus is, and how the gospel shapes their lives. Each week, children enjoy interactive teaching, Bible-centered crafts or activities, and time in prayer together.

Youth Ministries
Arise: Middle and High School Bible Study Group
Arise Youth Leader: Clement J. Sabbath
The Arise Youth Group meets every Wednesday night from 6:00pm-8:00pm, having an activity/game segment, meal time, and a time for Bible study and discussion. The youth group is composed of both Middle and High School students, as well as homeschoolers.
The Arise Youth Group endeavors to cultivate an environment which builds unity under Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 12:12-21), learning of God through His Word (John 17:5-8), walking with God by His Spirit (Gal. 5:25), in a community of believers who seek to disciple and be discipled as each are called (Col. 1:28-29).
“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
and his glory will be seen upon you.”
~ Isaiah 60:1-2
