GRACELINK GROUPS

Gracelink Groups are children's classes taught every Saturday morning from 9:30 to 10:30. Classes are broken up by age, so learning is age-appropriate. 

MORE INFO
GraceLink is a 12-year curriculum comprising 624 lessons, all of which are firmly grounded
in Scripture. Most lessons are story-based, some on scriptural references that teach a specific
doctrine. Each story has been selected to develop one of the four dynamics of the GraceLink
series: grace, worship, community, and service.

Because each lesson centers on a single message, each telling of a Bible story is focused—
not simply “watered-down.” Often a story is revisited elsewhere in the curriculum with another
point of focus. This is a thematic curriculum; only one teaching point is made at a time from a
specific Bible story.

FOUR DYNAMICS
The four dynamics incorporated in the GraceLink curriculum provide a balanced program and form the core of the curriculum. These are:

    * Grace (Jesus loves me.)
    * Community (We love each other.)
    * Worship (I love Jesus.)
    * Service (We love you too.)

Grace is the demonstration of God’s love for us. He sent His Son to die in our place, to redeem us, and to accept us unto Himself that we might live with Him forevermore.

Worship is our response to God’s love. Because He first loved us, we love Him. Because He gave His Son to die in our place, we worship Him. We worship Him through praise, through our lifestyle, and through our stewardship of all that He has provided for us.

Community involves our relationship with those around us, with our immediate family, our church family, our friends, and with other Christians who know God’s love.

Service is our outreach to others, to those who may not know and love the Jesus we serve. It is to them that we give the invitation to become a part of the family of God. It is to them that we take a message of hope for the future.
