Children's Work at Grace Baptist Church Peel

"Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise." These are the words spoken by the Lord Jesus when he admonished the chief priests and scribes for criticising the children praising Him. While we hope that no-one in today's church would hold back children from praise, it is possible to be guilty of not placing enough emphasis on their spiritual needs.

If you follow the links (above left) you can home in on each of our two main regular children's ministries. As the Spirit guides and directs, GBCP has undertaken different types of outreach to children over the years. From meetings in Laxey to youth club style activities the church has been able to make a connection with different age groups at different times.

. In our childrens work we try to:

Engage boys and girls with both modern and traditional sound and reverent songs and hymns
Have a good helper:child ratio so that there is always time for one-to-one assistance
Encourage parents of the kids to stay if they want to and find out what their kids are learning
Use a variety of activities to aid their attention span and make it a joy to learn about the Lord.
