Sundays at 10am we gather for our weekly worship service. Throughout the service we spend time singing, praying, and hearing from God’s Word taught by one of our pastors. No matter your age or your background we encourage you to join us for this great time of worship.

Children of all ages are welcome in this service but we also provide separate childcare for infants and toddlers throughout the service. Students age 4 to grade 4 will be dismissed prior to the sermon each week for their own special time in God’s Word. *All volunteers that serve at GBC been through thorough background checks.

Sundays at 9am we encourage you to grab a warm drink from The Hub area and join us for an engaging time in God’s Word. There is childcare for infants and toddlers, separate classes for Pre-k through high school aged students, and a a class for the adults. These classes run for 9 weeks at a time with a few week break in between. Check out the calendar and plan to attend!

Sunday Morning | Nurseries

Infant & Toddlers
Our nurseries provide a warm and safe environment for infants and toddlers during the morning service. All nursery workers have their background checks and clearances. Parents are notified via text if their child needs anything. *Nursing mothers are always welcome – we have a space set aside just for you in the infant room! *Changing tables in either nursery room are available for use at all times, regardless if your child is staying in the room or with you.

2’s & 3’s
We believe no child is to young to learn about God, so we begin by teaching your 2 & 3 year olds that there is a Creator God who loves them! This class provides structured play time, a short Bible lesson and singing, and a snack. A preschool-size restroom and changing table are both available. All volunteers have their background checks and clearances and parents are notified via text if their child needs anything.

Sunday Morning | Children’s Church

Partway through the morning worship service, children ages 4-grade 4 are dismissed for Children’s Churches.

Preschoolers, ages 4 & 5, have a class (located in the Nursery hallway) where they walk through an overview of the Bible over two years, using a program called Discipleland. They have free play time, games, crafts, Bible lesson, memory verse, snack, and a worksheet to take home.

Kindergarten through grade 4 meet in the greater Kid’s Area for Children’s Church, using a program called Dig In. To help cultivate relationships, kids spend time in small groups, and they earn Character Coins that they can choose to contribute to a group prize. During the program, kids work on their Scripture Skills, see how Jesus is Connected to the Bible lesson, and Pray together. A Parent Handout is texted each week for families to follow-up at home.

Grace Bible Church uses a computerized safety check in/check out process so you can be assured your children are safe while they are having fun!

The sixth graders have their own monthly discipleship time to prepare for youth group (and earn awesome prizes at the end of the year for completing it!).

IMPACT Youth Group is a weekly gathering where students (grades 7-12) engage with the Bible. Youth Group meets every Wednesday from 6:30-8:00PM.

At Grace Bible Church we have multiple ways for men to get involved. We believe it is important that we live in community with other men who are all striving to follow Jesus and help others do the same.

Wednesday mornings from 6:30-7:30am, men are invited to a Men’s Prayer Time in The Hub at Grace Bible Church. This is an interactive time of prayer and being in God’s Word. Even if you can only come for part of the time we would love to have you!

Every Thursday 6:30-8pm we gather to study Scripture together. This is an interactive time in God’s Word where together we learn and grow to be more like Jesus. Men of all ages are invited to join us! No registration required.

Outside of our weekly ministries we also encourage men to get involved in Life Groups and Sunday School. These are both great opportunities to get connected and grow together. Also check out our calendar to see when our next men’s events will take place!

Here to encourage women to deepen their relationships with God, form meaningful relationships with other Christian women, and equip them for ministry, service, and outreach. Throughout the year special women’s Bible studies, events, and retreats also take place.

At Grace Bible Church, we highly value community throughout the week. Life is not meant to be lived alone. In fact, God hates loneliness. You were created to experience life with other people, which is why we encourage you to get plugged into a Life Group. A Life Group is a diverse, smaller group of followers of Jesus where the truth of the Gospel is not only heard, but also actively lived out. Each Life Group comes together to build relationships, talk about life, and study Biblical truth in a guided discussion format. These groups are meant to grow and multiply as we help people find and follow Jesus throughout our community.
