OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Grace United Methodist Weekday School is to provide the best conditions possible to promote the growth of your child in a loving Christian environment. Each child is guided to attain their own potential-emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually; strengthen each child’s capacity to establish healthy relationships with children their own age; to find joy and satisfaction in creative work and learning; to respect themselves and others; and to encourage a greater awareness of God as our Creator.
“Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.” (Proverbs 22:6)
