WE ARE FAMILY
First-time guests at Grace often have lots of great questions. Here are answers to a few of the most popular ones.
​
ADULTS
Our adults study the Bible with healthy discussion and interaction. All of our discussions are based upon Bible texts and inform our beliefs. If you are new to your faith, you will find the Bible study groups are close but not closed. We have room for you to grow with us. If you have children, we have a graded class for them too. For many, this hour is a favorite time to get close to one another and better understand God’s word in a safe one-hour small group setting.
​
YOUTH
Our youth have two opportunities for a group experience. The Sunday morning Bible Study is a time that has more of a one-on-one feeling to it. The students are encouraged to dig deeper. On Wednesday nights our youth group is energetic and has their own praise and worship time. There is a devotional and then we break into small groups for reflection and discussion.
CHILDREN
Our Grace Kids are encouraged to study the Bible with age-appropriate material. There is usually a Bible story, prayer, scripture memory verses, and a craft. By engaging their senses in learning, our kids find that the Sunday School hour is where they discover who Jesus is and that God is love.
GROW WITH US
NEXT STEPS
When someone becomes a follower of Christ, our pastors take time to disciple them. Our step by step study is called Square One. Each chapter of Square One allows a person new to the faith and curious about our church to plug-in and discover the love and grace of God in a small group setting.
Square One is divided into elementary and intermediate lessons. We never want to overwhelm someone with information but lead students and adults to a place where the Word of God (the Bible) makes sense.
In our church, we often discover that many people come to worship with us with a variety of past faith traditions. We will teach Square One with respect to everyone’s past and help them achieve God’s best for their future.
