When We Meet

At Grace, we view our times of corporate worship as a precious privilege and a time to experience, while still on earth, a little bit of what heaven will be like (Revelation 4-5). These are vital times in which we teach and admonish one another, build each other up, encourage fellow believers and stimulate one another to love and good deeds (Col 3:12-17, Heb 10:24-25) – all as we directly offer praise, worship, and adoration to our God in an attitude of holy fear (Heb 12:28-29).

Schedule

Sunday Morning Bible Study - 9:30 am

Each Sunday morning we meet from 9:30-10:30 to grow in our understanding of, and obedience to, the Word of God. We begin our time with singing, sharing, and prayer, then dismiss the young people to their classrooms.

• Children
  The children meet for age appropriate teaching in the following age ranges: 3-5, 6-8, 9-11. We use a God-centered curriculum (Generations of Grace developed by John MacArthur�s church in Sun Valley California), which focuses on an expository approach to God�s Word with rich application to the lives of children. The curriculum is �unified� in approach which means that each age group is taught the same passage of Scripture at an appropriate level. Over a three year period each group covers the historical books of the Old Testament, the Life of Christ, Acts, and Revelation.
• Youth
  The youth, age 13-18 meet together for a time of in-depth study. Our purpose is to help prepare them with a rock-solid Biblical foundation upon which they will build for the rest of their lives. To this end we rotate through a cycle of: exegetical teaching through books of the Bible, Systematic Theology, OT and NT Survey, and Apologetics and Worldview Studies.
• Adults
  The adults meet together for a time of study and encouragement from God�s Word. We rotate between the expository teaching of books of the Bible and the presentation of Biblical topics. This is a rich time of teaching, interaction, and encouragement of one another to love and good deeds!

Sunday Morning Worship Service - 10:45 am

The purpose of our worship service is to glorify God by praising Him and edifying believers. To this end we worship through song, public reading of Scripture, prayer, expository preaching, and giving. Our singing is a mix of God-exalting hymns and contemporary songs accompanied by a variety of instruments. Our Scripture reading and prayer are led each week by different men within the congregation.

Sunday Night Fellowship Groups - 6:00 pm

Sunday evening is reserved for a time to break down into smaller groups, meeting in homes to sing, share, pray with one another, and review the sermon for greater understanding and application. We do not believe that small groups are the key to the church (sound teaching is), but they have a valuable function in allowing the body to be spiritually healthy. Read more about our fellowship groups in the Ministries section.

Wednesday Night - 7:00 pm

• Children
  The children all meet together for a time of singing and teaching from the Word of God.
• Youth
  The youth (Garamuts � ages 12-18) meet for a time of singing, and teaching from the Word, followed by fellowship and prayer in small groups. We rotate between expository teaching through a book of the Bible and in-depth instruction on Biblical topics. 
• Adults
  The adults meet for a time of prayer and singing in which we adore God for who He is, confess our sins to God, thank God for what He has done, and petition God to meet the needs of our congregation and His church throughout the world.
