New Here?

Here’s what you need to know about Grace Church

You’re
Family

When you walk through the front door you are like family. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from, we’re just glad that you came to hang out with us and worship alongside us. We have people in our family from every walk of life and every walk of faith and church background. But we are all united together by the truth and love of Jesus.

The
Bible

We are very passionate about teaching and defending the truth of the Bible. We want to grow together in our understanding of who God has revealed Himself to be, what His plan for redemption is, and who He calls us to be by studying His Word together. Everything we do is rooted in the words God has given us in the Bible.

Modern
Flavor

At Grace Church, we worship with a bit of a modern flavor. We typically have a full band during our Sunday morning services that plays songs by artists like Chris Tomlin, Hillsong, Phil Wickham, and Kristian Stanfill. We also use multi-projection in creative ways to display the beauty of God’s creation and the artistry that He has gifted many people with.

What To Wear

Anything from shorts/jeans and a shirt to a dress or 3-piece suit. We don’t care!

First Thing Through The Doors

You will be greeted by the greeting team and/or the ushers on your way in. They can answer any questions you may have. Feel free to grab some coffee, mingle about, and make your way to the sanctuary.

Children

Our services normally start with two songs, a welcome time, and a short message for younger children up in front if they want to come and hear from Pastor Brian. After that, we open our nursery for 0-2 year olds and a fun children’s church with a lesson for kids ages 3-PreK in the first two classrooms down the hall from the lobby.

Before You Leave

After the service, we invite you to stop by our welcome table, meet a friendly face, ask questions, and get a little gift bag that we’ve put together for you.
