Children

Our Future And Our Priority

The Westminster Catechism states, “The chief aim of man is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever.” These truths are foundational to our children’s ministry.

We partner with families to help children ages 6–11 know God deeply, grow in godly character, and develop their spiritual gifts. Through biblical instruction, prayer, obedience, and learning to hear God’s voice, children discover that they are a vital part of His Kingdom.

At Grace, we believe there is no “Junior Holy Spirit.” Children are equipped to move in the gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12), pray with boldness, and serve their communities. As a generational church, we invest in them not only as our future, but as valued participants in what God is doing in His church today.

Leadership Team

Joseph & Leona Medrano

CHILDREN’S PASTOR

One night after Children’s Ministry, which happened to be on a Valentine’s Day, Leona and Joseph ran into each other. That short conversation not only sparked an interest in each other but also a deep passion in their hearts for serving, especially children. They believe children are precious, and take value in laying the foundation for the faith of children. From teaching lessons to playing games, they love every part that comes with being children’s leaders.

Joseph and Leona faithfully attend Grace every Sunday, and love worship. Leona and her family have been attending Grace since 2018, while Joseph has been attending since 2022.  Their love for Grace runs deep, and they take pride in being members of a wonderful church family.

Lemmie Mays

CHILDREN’S LEADER
Lemmie was taught for an early age the delights of serving. She believes God is big and beautiful and His world is full of people needing God’s love. Upon moving to Brenham and searching for a church home the Lord led her to Grace and she knew that is where she needed to be. She has been serving and working in camp ministries since high school and believes that serving and living for the Lord is one of the greatest joys. Children, youth and family ministries have always been something near and dear to her heart, it allows her to experience the Lord in a different way as she gets to witness little ones come to know Christ. She is excited to serve with Kingdom Kids and can’t wait to see what the Lord is going to do.

Jennifer Getz

CHILDREN’S LEADER

Jennifer has been a member of Grace since 2024, and is so grateful that God led her to this church. One of the things she loves most about Grace is how practical and applicable the sermons are, helping her to grow in her relationship with God and learn how to live out her faith in everyday life. Since being at Grace, Jennifer has found genuine community and meaningful friendships that have encouraged her in her walk with Christ. Jennifer now has the joy of serving as a Children’s Ministry Leader, where she gets to help create a fun and welcoming environment for children to learn about Jesus and grow in their faith.

Some of Jennifer’s personal interests are traveling, taking photos, trying new foods, spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and spending time outdoors.
