At Grace Fellowship

Our vision for the Seed Patch and the Grove is that children would be:

Planted in a safe and fun environment, watered by Christ-exalting adults, and firmly rooted in Scripture; so they can grow into mature trees who bear fruit for the Lord! We aim to connect kids to Christ, to each other, and to the world around them through sound biblical teaching and by building relationships with them individually
