We believe that the Christian life requires a "well-balanced diet" of worship. For that reason, we offer two very different weekly worship services that everyone is invited to attend.
Sunday Morning
Pre-Service
A Foundations Class, open to all, runs from 8:45-9:45 AM. Check the calendar for this week's class [note: classes are cancelled for July and August].
At 9:45 AM, there is a short pre-service prayer meeting that takes place in a classroom.
At 9:55 AM, we sing a pre-service song in the main sanctuary as people find their seats.
Corporate Worship Service
Our corporate worship service begins at 10:00 AM and ends at 11:30 AM.
This service is structured around the gospel. We begin with a call to worship God from Scripture, then confess our sins to him and are reminded of our forgiveness in Christ before responding in praise. An elder reads a passage of Scripture related to the sermon and offers a pastoral prayer. Interspersed are hymns, spiritual songs, and Psalms that help our hearts engage with the flow of the service.
One of our pastors preaches verse-by-verse through a section of God's Word for about 40 minutes. Then we sing a final song and are commissioned to go out into the world and live out what we have heard preached. Finally, an elder offers a benediction to bless the congregation and close the service.
As the service concludes, fellowship continues. Coffee is served and people often stay and chat for a couple hours. We are always eager to welcome friends and visitors to our services.
What to Expect
We are a multi-cultural, multi-generational church, and most of our members tend to be young families and single adults. Dress is typically business-casual, and varies from jeans to suits and dresses. You are welcome to wear whatever you are comfortable in! We meet in a school gym with about 300 people. People are friendly, and visitors are common, so please introduce yourself!
You can find details about childcare during the service on the Children's Ministry page.
Translation
We offer live text or audio translation during our Sunday morning services, using Kaleo AI. You can download the app in advance, or scan a QR code in the printed bulletin to follow along in a browser.
Sunday Afternoon
Note: in July and August, our Sunday afternoon services are replaced by fellowship events. Please check the calendar for a current list.
Our 4:00 - 5:15 PM service is centered around prayer. We believe that nothing good can be done apart from God, and, in the words of William Carey, that we ought to "expect great things from God and attempt great things for God." So, we gladly set aside an hour each week to pray for the Lord to work in our members, children, community, and churches around the world.
To start off the night, kids in Grade 1 - Grade 12 join the adults in the gym for 15 minutes of songs and catechism. Then, while the adults pray together, they are dismissed to meet in their GraceKids and GraceYouth classes, enjoying a Gospel-centered lesson, some games, a time of music or memorization, and a snack. Childcare is also provided for 0-5 year olds with age-appropriate lessons.
About once a month, our regular Sunday afternoon service is cancelled for a Fellowship Lunch, Members' Meeting, or Men's/Ladies Fellowship Night. Please check the calendar before coming.
Wednesday Evening
Note: in July and August, Foundations Classes are cancelled. Our corporate prayer meeting and GraceKids Re/Mix are moved to Wednesday nights from 7:00 - 8:15 PM.
We typically have two Foundations Classes running on Wednesday nights from 7:00 - 8:30 PM. These are open for anyone, and you can join partway through a course, just show up! There's no childcare provided during these classes.
