Welcome to GPAC Kids, a ministry designed specifically for newborn to grade 6!
We count it a prayerful privilege to make this a place that your kids want to come to each week with a welcoming atmosphere, loving leaders, and memorable lessons. The overarching vision of our team is to teach, demonstrate, and show the love of Jesus to children newborn to grade 6 who come through our doors. We have a creative, loving, and passionate group of individuals, both staff and volunteers, who desire to take biblical truths and make them come alive for a younger audience.
