Gracecity Kids

Gracecity Kids runs during our Sunday services and is designed to be a welcoming, fun, and faith-filled space where children can encounter Jesus and grow in their relationship with Him.

Kids begin in the main auditorium, joining the wider church family for worship. After that, they head out with our friendly team (and parents, if needed) to their own engaging programme.

Each session is built around a Bible Story and a Wonder Truth, helping children explore God’s Big Story in ways that are meaningful and age-appropriate. Sessions include games, creative activities, and opportunities to build great friendships. While the structure might vary slightly from week to week, our focus stays the same: helping every child discover that:

God knows me. Jesus loves me. The Holy Spirit leads me. I am a child of God.

At Gracecity, we’re committed to investing in the next generation. Gracecity Kids is one of the ways we live that out—creating space for kids to discover faith, ask big questions, and grow in confidence as they learn to walk with Jesus.

Look out for our Gracecity Kids team in the light blue t-shirts—they’re there to help your child feel safe, welcomed, and settled. And if your child is new or feeling unsure, you’re welcome to stay with them until they feel at home..

mainly music is a fun, interactive environment for preschoolers and their parents/caregivers. Each session uses music and movement to ignite the imagination, build gross and fine motor skills, expand language and enhance the relationship between 'big' and 'little' people.

​Includes a 30-minute session of music and movement, and we share in an eat/chat/play space. ​Each session is run by volunteers who are identifiable by their blue t-shirts.

We have annual, term, and casual attendance passes available. Please see below. First-time visitors are welcome to join us for FREE*.

Registrations

The effectiveness of mainly music is through weekly participation where children/caregivers can learn songs/actions and get to know others. You register and pay for a term in advance. This ensures you have a place in the session you want to be part of. We have a limited number of casual spaces and once these are filled, the session is closed.

This enables us to plan and prepare for you as well as making check-in quicker on the day.

Term Pass (Prepaid): $45/family unit

Annual Pass (Prepaid): $165/family unit

Casual Attendance (Limited): $5/family unit (if available)

So much more than an event, child dedication is a milestone in the life of your family. It’s an opportunity to acknowledge God’s blessing and thank Him for the precious gift He has entrusted to you. It is also an opportunity for us as a church to partner with you through the adventure of parenthood. Dedications can take place in a Sunday service (typically Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day), in a home, or wherever families gather.
