We meet at The Evangelical Church on the Island. Our worship meeting time is 4:30 PM on Saturdays. 

The goal at Grace Kids is that your child has fun learning the truth of God's Word, singing worship songs, and participating in activities, games, and craft-time with their peers. Our volunteers are excited to speak words of truth and love to your child while helping them to feel comfortable so you can focus in your worship during the service.
