we get it! Every church can be a little different or a lot different. So, here's what you can expect:
Welcome to Grace City Church. We’ve put together some information here that anticipates and tries to briefly answer some of the questions you may have prior to visiting our church for the first time:
Atmosphere
It's important to us that you feel welcome when visiting. We have intentionally created an atmosphere to help people feel comfortable and relaxed. Because our cafe and worhsip service all take place in the same place, you can bring your coffee into the worship service! That's how chilled we are....WHOOP! WHOOP!
Family Friendly
No matter your family dynamics, you're welcome at Grace City Church and we're excited for you to consider being a part of our church family! Our intent is to serve the whole family. During our worship service we have ministries available for infants and children. Your children will receive teaching straight from the Bible from caring leaders. We have a dynamic growing student ministry! Many of these students gather and sit together in the worship service. They have outings and gather on Wednesday nights for Bible Study in homes. Of course, children of all ages are also welcome to be part of worship service.
Sunday Message
Each message is built upon sound expository teaching straight from the Bible. The Bible is true and unchanging. It is without error and is the inspired Word of God for all people. Every message brings a principle of God's truth that is practical and relevant for daily living.
Biblical Teaching
At Grace City Church, we place a high priority on the teaching of God's Word. The worship service is a time for us to come together as a community to learn, be encouraged and to be challenged by God's Word. Other opportunities exist beyond the Sunday worship service where people have a chance to grow, fellowship, or otherwise be a part of a church family that lives out their faith together. Bible Study Groups exist outside of Sunday and gather in people's homes, businesses or coffee shops. For a complete listing go to the "Ministries" tab and click on "Bible Study Groups."
