Description: Grace Trinity Sunday school caters to the spiritual learning of children from ages 3-14. We meet every Sunday except the first from 10:30am-11:30am. We first meet for a combined session where the children learn songs and thereafter meet in classes based on their age groups. We also have object-based lessons in church on the 1st and 3rd Sundays. The children also perform and participate during various events in church. Our teachers are all volunteers who share their talents in nurturing the children. The youth are also actively involved in the classrooms. The Sunday before Christmas is designated as Children’s Sunday with various performances such as skits and musical presentations. During the summer we have Vacation Bible School along with the Grace Daycare and children from the surrounding communities.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
