Grace is not just a Sunday church. We are a living, breathing community that strives to help each person become Jesus’ disciples in new and deeper ways. We believe growing in our relationship with God is a lifelong process and one of the most important ministries of Grace. Our staff and volunteers teach the basics of the Christian faith to children, those new to the faith and life-long Christians. We instruct in Communion and Confirmation, and seek to make what is taught relevant to everyday life. Together we join in glorifying God with joyful and meaningful Sunday worship.
Worship
Grace gathers weekly in a virtual way through a recorded YouTube service. This video contains all parts of a Lutheran liturgy along with time for communion and a children’s message. Our video is enhanced with beautiful music provided by our worship team.
We have conducted several outdoor worship services and are beginning to plan for indoor worship. Our church leadership continues to monitor all health guidelines and follow our governing body’s recommendations.
Adult Christian Education Opportunities
At Grace, we feel that a Christian learning group is essential to our relationship with God and our church community. We currently have a six week bible study that is being offered both in-person at Grace and virtually. Check back often to find out when our next educational opportunity is scheduled.
Children and Youth Ministries
We continue to offer education opportunities through online Sunday School for ages preschool through 6th grade. Through online discussion, we review the bible passage for the day and see how it applies to us. Our lesson is rounded out with videos and activities.
Youth in 7th and 8th grades meet to deepen their understanding of their faith through our Confirmation program. In this program, we strive to go beyond individual bible stories and show the bible as a whole unifying story of God’s saving grace. We also have lessons covering our Lutheran faith and how it came to be.
Visit our Youth and Family Ministries page to see planned activities for children of all ages!
