Welcome:
SOME HAVE COMPARED GOING TO A NEW CHURCH TO THE FIRST DAY AT A NEW SCHOOL. New faces, new facility, new fears – it’s all a part of the experience, unfortunately. We understand that, so we try to make it as easy as possible for people to visit Grace Assembly for the first time. You are not going to stand out or be singled out. In fact, you will probably find a lot of people here just like you.
The first thing you will likely notice is you will be met immediately by greeters at the doors who can point you in the right direction. Our smiling hospitality team would love to welcome you, give you direction, as well as answer any questions that you might have. Our hospitality staff will be wearing a “grace shirt.” So look for anyone that has a shirt with the word “grace” on it, and they will be able to help you with anything.
As you enter the church lobby you will also see younger people, older people, and people in between. You will also notice that some like to dress up for church and others like to come casual. We have it all – so come as you are! Also, if you are in need to visit the restrooms, they can be found past our church office and Welcome desk on the right. The adults meet in what we call the sanctuary. That will be on your left as you walk through the entrance.
For those with children, We offer a top notch children's church program during our 11am service where each student will be immersed in the love and truth of the Gospel. When you enter our main entrance in our bigger parking lot, head past our adult meeting space on the left and head to our “Check-in station.” There, our volunteers will check in your child and print off two tags. One tag is for your child and the other is for you to match when you pick your child up. All of our volunteers have been background checked. We want to provide a safe, loving environment for your child to explore their faith in Jesus Christ. Once your child as been securely checked-in, you can head back to the Sanctuary for our adult service which will now be on your right. Bathrooms will be on your left if you need to use them.
We offer two Sunday morning worship services. One is at 9am and the other begins at 11am. We do not intentionally program either service to be different then the other. For the most part we will sing the same songs and the same message will be preached. As you enter the sanctuary you are free to sit wherever you like. You will notice that we love to sing together, and we enjoy listening to quality music. It’s nothing too extreme in terms of “rockin’ out” or “real churchy.” We think you will like it, and hope you feel at home in our adult services.
Then a speaker will bring a practical and hopefully inspiring message from God’s Word, the Bible. It’s usually about 30-40 minutes in length, and we provide message notes to help everyone follow along through the Youversion Bible app. Our main goal is to apply God’s truth to our everyday living.
The entire service is about an hour and fifteen minutes but feels much faster! During our 11am service, we offer childcare for infants up to age 3. Our children’s service offers classes for ages preschool to Grade 5. We do offer a “Crossover” group for all students in the 6th and 7th grade where they will learn how to study God’s Word after the adults sing songs. Feel free to approach anyone with a Grace shirt for directions or any questions. You can also peruse our website for more details.
