MINISTRIES
KIDS
The heart of the Grassroots Kids Program is to encourage, teach, and equip children to be devoted disciples of Jesus. Our desire is to see our children enjoying deep fellowship with God in His love and choosing to love, serve, and obey Him with all their hearts, as they grow in the knowledge and love of God.
​
Currently, we offer childcare and classes to children from birth to 5th Grade on Sunday Mornings.
Stop by the Grassroots Kids Check-In Station to register your child each Sunday.
​
We utilize a secure check-in/check-out system to make sure your child is safe during the Gathering.
​
This is where you can label your child's belongings, inform us of any allergies and ask as many questions as you would like!

VOLUNTEERS
All of our volunteers in the Grassroots Kids Program have been put through a thorough background check and are trained to work with children.
PROGRAMS
ACORNS - Birth to 3 Years (Offered every Sunday)
We know leaving your little one in the care of someone else isn't always easy! Our volunteers are engaging, loving, and provide a safe environment for your little one. We also have developmentally age-appropriate toys and books for your child to enjoy. In the event your little guy or gal needs you, we will notify you immediately!
​
SPROUTS - 3 Years (Potty Trained) to Kindergarten (Offered every Sunday)
Preschoolers are full of energy and love to be active! So in Sprouts, we teach in ways preschoolers learn best...by doing! Through music, crafts, games, and story-time, there is never a dull moment! As always, we place safety as a top priority, so you can relax and enjoy the Gathering.
​
OAKS - 1st Grade to 5th Grade (Offered 2nd & 4th Sunday of every month)
We think family worship is important, and we love to see parents and kids spend time together!
Upon registering your child, they will stay with you and experience worship as a family!
Following worship, they will then be dismissed to meet up with our Oaks teachers (who will be pointed out) to continue to the Oaks room to learn through videos, discussion, and activities.
On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month, we invite our elementary-age kids to grab an activity page & coloring page to enjoy during the main teaching.
STUDENT MINISTRIES - GSM
In Grassroots Student Ministries (GSM), our desire is to see teenagers involved and engaged in the work of the kingdom. Our vision is to develop opportunities for teens to grow in their identity in God and be equipped for intimacy with Jesus, intercession, and impact, and to provide a place for them to grow in their gifts and develop as disciples of Jesus.
​
We look forward to welcoming new teens and helping them on their journey with the Lord!
(Offered 1st & 3rd Sunday of every month, as well as monthly events at our Fort Spring location only, with plans to expand to our Monroe location in the future! )
GRASSROOTS GROUPS
We have many ways for you to connect with others. Our
Grassroots Groups gather people together for fellowship, Bible discussion, ministry to one another, and outreach and service in our neighborhoods. We aim to grow in friendship with Jesus, one another, and our community.
​
If you are not a part of a community group and would like to be a part of one, please talk to a volunteer at our welcome desk on Sunday morning! They would be delighted to help you get plugged in!
GRASSROOTS GROUP FAQ'S
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?​
Small groups are all about people taking next steps together. Groups meet weekly and have a leader that facilitates the discussion and offers up questions for the group to answer. The goal for all of your group meetings is to be encouraged, support other group members, learn more about Christ, and share in life's moments.
​
IS CHILDCARE PROVIDED?
Every group is different. Some groups have the children attend and hire a sitter. Some groups prefer to not have children at their meetings and each member provides their own childcare.
WHEN AND WHERE DO GROUPS MEET?
Groups meet in homes, businesses, restaurants, and at our theatre. Every group chooses a different time to meet, so if a certain day of the week works better for you be sure to share that when our small group team leader gives you a call.
HOW LONG DO GROUPS LAST?
Every group is different, most groups are ongoing and typically stay together for 2 years or more.
