Welcome to the GHFC Kids Discipleship page!
We're so glad you're here.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..." Matthew 19:14
Why does GHFC Kids exist?
Kids are the future of the Church and the world! It is our aim at GHFC to partner with you (the parents or guardians) in creating a memorable path of discipleship for your children. From worship to games, to snacks to prayer time, we want to help establish a foundation of God’s truth in a way that sticks!
We're new! How do I get my kids involved?
1. We encourage first time guests to arrive 15 minutes before service starts (8:45am or 10:45am).
2. Once you arrive, head to the Check-In station past the foyer. You will be asked for basic information to get your child checked in and placed in the class that's best for them!
3. You will receive a sticker for your child, and a sticker for you to hold onto. This is important to keep, as you will use it to check your child out of class at the end of service.
4. We’ll show you where to go!
5. Nursery, Toddlers (2 and 3’s) and Preschool (4’s and 5’s) opens 15 minutes before each service. As soon as you come to church, bring these kids to their classes!
Elementary aged students (6-12 year olds) will join you in the sanctuary for worship until they are dismissed to class.

"It has been a gift to serve at Grays Harbor Foursquare Church as our NextGen Director since 2019. I believe that the next generations are the NOW generations, and that it's critical to equip and empower them for a spirit-filled life. My husband and I live in Aberdeen (go, Bobcats!). We love watermelon, hiking, traveling, playing sports, and spending time with friends. Baby back ribs are my love language! I'm excited to continue to serve our kids and families as we grow in Christ together."
