Each congregation of Free Grace United is a distinct local church. They vary in size, demographics, and cultural aesthetics. Each has its own story, its own pastors, and its own ministries. In deciding which congregation to join, we encourage you to start by visiting the one closest to you.

FREE GRACE KIDS

Each of our churches are unique, which means that each church offers something a little different for kids during our weekend services. As our churches grow, we develop a church experience especially for them! (Read about Kids Church here.) Our mission at every church is to see your kids cross the line of faith and follow Jesus!

Ages 0-4:

Our services here are family-friendly – meaning that children under 4 get to join their grown-ups for “big church”! Kids benefit greatly from watching the adults in their lives worship Jesus. We provide a kid version of the sermon notes with activities to help little brains stay focused. Here are some suggestions of other things you can do to help your little ones stay engaged:

  • Have your child bring his/her own Bible, and help look up the Scripture in the sermon
  • Encourage them to sing or dance during worship songs
  • Coloring items
  • Small, non-electronic toys for little ones (cars, puzzles, books)
  • The Bible App for Kids and a pair of headphones

If your child gets wiggly or chatty, you can step into the lobby or into our Family Seating room at any time to give him/her a break. You and your kids are welcome here!

Ages 5-11:

Kids Church | Ages K-5th grade

We offer Bible teaching for kids during adult services. This is because our 5-11 year-olds are the age group that is most receptive to the Good News. We take this opportunity seriously! In Kids Church, we have a special focus on tangible aspects of discipleship – helping kids navigate their Bibles, pray in groups, use their gifts to serve others, build friendships, and share their faith – all while teaching the Gospel every week through a Bible-based curriculum.

ROXANNE ASCHEMAN

WHAT CHEER LEAD PASTOR

Pastor Roxanne is a dynamic preacher whose engaging style draws in listeners from all walks of life. Her deep appreciation for the power of stories to bring people together and inspire them to live out their faith comes through whenever she shares the gospel. She firmly believes that each of us has a unique story to tell, and that by sharing these stories, we can guide others toward the hope and freedom that comes from a life centered on God. She’s also the proud mom of a gifted and talented young woman named Aspen!
