About

Ministry

Grace Kids

The Children’s Ministry of Grace Community Church exists to glorify God through evangelizing children, encouraging parents, and edifying servants so that the gospel may be spread among our children, families may be supported, and the church may be strengthened.

From infants through fifth grade, we provide a variety of ministries designed to come alongside parents in caring for their children.

For an overview of these ministries, visit the First Time Visitors page.

Richard Harasick

Rich has served in Children’s Ministry since 1986. It is his joy to proclaim the gospel to kids and encourage parents to be faithful stewards of God’s gifts as they raise their children. He currently serves as an elder overseeing Children’s Ministry, and also teaches the Parenting for Life class at Grace Church. Rich and his wife, Karen, have three children.

He graduated from California State University, Northridge in 1985, and is a practicing CPA in the area of forensic accounting. Chris and his wife, Ann, met in 1986 while both were involved in ministry in Crossroads, and they were married in 1988. Chris and Ann have three grown daughters and three grandchildren.
