Lunch with the Pastors | Scheduled Quarterly | Meets right after service
Lunch with the Pastors is an opportunity for folks that are new to Grace to get to know us. Once a quarter, the pastoral staff and our families share a meal with anyone who’s new. We’ll fellowship, share our passion for serving God at Grace, and answer questions you might have about the church, our mission, theology, and ministries. Right after the morning service. we’ll head upstairs to the youth room for our meal. Childcare is provided.
The next Lunch with the Pastors is always posted in our bulletin and calendar of events. Registration is needed so that we can prepare well to serve you. Contact Cindy McKinney if you have questions.

September – Covenant Membership Class

Dec '21
Prospective Membership Class | Scheduled Regularly Throughout the Year
If you’re interested in understand what we believe and how we live out our faith in this body, then we invite you to join us for a Prospective Membership Class. In this class, we dive into Scripture together as we explore theological issues that are central to faith in Christ. We consider what it means to be a follower of Christ and how we live that out together at Grace. At the end of the class, you’ll be invited to become a member of Grace. Whether you’re ready to make that commitment or would like more time to decide, we encourage you to get to know us, what we believe, and who we are through this class.
We schedule Prospective Membership classes at 9:00 before church on Sundays several times a year. We also coordinate with individuals, couples, and small groups of people to go through the class material at times that convenient. If you have questions, please ask any of our pastors.
Senior Pastor, Christopher Heslep (christopher@graceweb.net)

Covenant Membership Meeting

Covenant Membership Meetings | Scheduled Quarterly Throughout the Year
We place high value on membership at Grace. One of our core tenants says that “without community, there is no church.” In the New Testament, there is simply no concept of being a Christ follower without being part of a group of believers. Discipleship happens alongside others. Service happens with and for others. Corporate worship and collective pray are key components of life at Grace. At our quarterly Covenant Member Meetings, we come together as family. Ministry leaders bring us updates about what’s new, challenging, and exciting. Sometimes we deal with business matters like new apps, facilities, and budgets. And always we pray together for our church, missionaries, and individual needs.

Grace Family Meals | Scheduled about once every 2 months | Meets right after service
We love to fellowship with each other. Sharing a meal is a great way to just be a family. Grace Family Meals take place right after service. Sometimes it’s a coordinated potluck. Sometimes a group of individuals preps all the food before hand. And sometimes, we cater food from a local restaurant. Always, we enjoy each other’s company. We very much encourage visitors and new folks to join us for these meals, as it’s a great way to visit and get to know each other.
