Walking into a strange church for the first time can be a rather uncomfortable experience. We know because every person at Grace was a visitor at some point. We want to try to provide you with a little information to help your visit go smoothly.
The goal of every one of our services is to meet with the God of all creation. He has made this possible through the Bible and through Prayer. The Holy Spirit works through these to minister to us God's grace and peace and to produce in our lives His own fruit. He also works through the gifts that He has given to each believer. So we gather corporately to minister to one another, to pray and to study the Scriptures.
First, we love children. The Lord has always seemed to burden the hearts of our people to minister to children. You will see this ministry attitude in our Nursery, Children's Church, Patch the Pirate Clubs, and Vacation Bible School ministries.
We have Sunday School classes for all ages. We provide a nursery during all services for children through age 3.
Yes, we all know how minor this is. But we also know how uncomfortable it is to feel out of place in a group of people.
First, be sure to bring your Bible. We'll open our Bibles in almost every gathering. If you don't have a Bible, please let us know and we'll be glad to provide one for you.
Our folks generally show up in their Sunday Best for our Sunday Morning Worship Service. We don't encourage folks to show off or to spend a lot of money for particular types of clothing. Our desire is simply to present ourselves before our God in a reverent and respectful way.
The Sunday Evening and Wednesday Evening services tend to be a little more casual.
Children and teens will usually have some recreational time as part of the Wednesday evening programs. Athletic shoes and casual outfits will help them enjoy this part of the evening.
