“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” (Luke 2:52)
Grace Church offers a full slate of programs for children and youth from infancy through 12thgrade, providing opportunities for all to explore the mystery of God’s presence in our lives, to hear God’s invitation for spiritual experience, to listen to what God is saying, and to make authentic and creative responses to God’s call in our lives. And to have fun!!
A professionally staffed nursery is available on Sunday mornings for children six weeks to 2 years old. Children’s Chapel introduces children beginning at age 3 to the Way of Jesus’ Love in a special worship session Sunday mornings just for them. Our littlest worshippers might also enjoy participating in Little Church, an outdoor worship service that includes a craft activity.
Sunday School is broken by age group for the elementary school set. Middle schoolers and high schoolers participate in Rite 13, J2A, and EYC programs. These youth also meet for dinner and evening activities monthly during the school year. There are also many special events appealing to children and youth throughout the year, which have included our Christmas Pageant, Trunk-or-Treat, Chili Bowl cook-off, holiday celebrations, and trips to the Diocese of Virginia’s Shrine Mont Camp.
Contact the parish office at 703-549-1980 or parish.administrator@gracealex.org for more information. Children and youth are welcome to sign up and join in at any time during the year.
