Sunday mornings is Elevate time for elementary kids! Elevate is a thematic, multi-media presentation of the Bible with an emphasis on practical applications for today's kiddos!   Children learn scripture, hear Bible stories, sing praise songs, and meet in small groups to talk about what they learn! 

Our talented actors, dedicated teachers, and crazy worship crew work tirelessly to create an environment that encourages spiritual growth and curiousity about what is found in the Bible! Elevate is truly a must-see experience! 

First Program: 8:30am to 9:40am
Second Program: 10:00am to 11:10am
Third Program: 11:30am to 12:40pm

*Note: All of our Elevate programs are identical on a Sunday morning. If your family is staying for two services, the Grace Kids staff encourages you to take your elementary age child to the auditorium with you for the main worship service. Your child can enjoy the Elevate program while you are participating in another ministry area.

 
Whether it's huge towers, strong walls or even gigantic boats, the Bible is full of incredible stories about construction projects. In this new series, The Great Skybridge Showdown, we will learn about some of those projects as we join Ike Ironsides and Caleb Cade on the job site. Each week we will be learning about such things as: how to follow God's plan for your life, how to obey God in all you do, why we should praise God instead of ourselves, and why we should never give up doing good. We will also learn to wisely use what God gives us, to be kind to others, that as Christians we are the church, and that we should have perseverance while serving God. So, put on your hard hat and tool belt and let's get ready to build a life that is pleasing to God!

Upcoming Elevate Theme

Upside Down Town
Come with us to a very strange town, a place where people live their lives upside down. Now that doesn't mean the people there stand on their heads or that you'd climb to the ceiling to get into your bed. It's the wrong choices they make that we call "upside down." And some of their choices are the strangest around!

Some of the people choose not to forgive. Others give up quickly and that's no way to live.
There's a woman who gives warnings and tries to be nice, but she neglects to follow her own advice.
There's a man named Jack who refuses to go back. There's a worrisome man with panic attacks.
There's a friend who hears advice both good and bad. That story ends up with an entire town mad!
There's a tale of a couple who refuse to help others. But that's not all the stories, I can think of one other.
There's a man with the coolest device anywhere! But though he has many, he refuses to share.

Yes there are many lessons that teach and confound. And we'll learn from the Bible many truths quite profound. When we don't live as God wants, we live life upside down. So travel with us, my friend, to Upsidedown Town!
