Gate City is a fellowship that understands the importance of children.  We want them to know not simply of our love but of Jesus love for them.  As a result, in addition to the opportunities listed above, we offer graded Sunday School classes each Sunday at 9 AM. 

Each month during the school year, there are special outings and events.  During the summer, we have an exiting Vacation Bible School and a variety of activities that will not only interest your child but help foster a relationship with Christ and a love for His church. 

Upcoming children's ministry events are listed to the right.

Our children's ministry is called Impressions.  The name comes from Deut. 6:6-7,  where Moses has shared the law from God and says, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.  Impress them on your children…”  The goal of a Christ-centered family and the goal of a Christ-centered children’s ministry should be the same:  to impress the truths of God on to the hearts of children.

In keeping with this concept, our nursery and pre-school ministry is called "First Impressions," since as a church family this is our first opportunity to demonstrate and communicate the truths of Scripture. 

Grades K-3 is called "Positive Impressions," as we want to build on the foundation that has been laid with more truth and deeper understanding. 

Finally, grades 4-5 is called "Lasting Impressions," because we want to be intentional in the goal that our children have a personal relationship with Jesus and are not simply prepared for the challenges of middle-school, but the challenges of life and the reality of eternity.
