When I visit will you make me provide all my personal information?
-
No, but we’d love to know you visited one of our services and send you a welcome email. There’s a Contact Form that you can fill out. At that page you can also request more information or submit prayer requests.

Whatever is comfortable: T-shirt and jeans, a suit or a dress...we're not particular. Come as you are and you'll fit right in.
What should I expect when I visit in person?
-
At 10:15 we begin worshiping God in prayer, songs, a sermon, testimonies, and giving. We are casual, friendly, welcoming, and enthusiastic. We recognize that we are all needy, imperfect people, so we don't expect visitors or members to have it all together.
-
You can be assured that you will be greeted warmly and genuinely cared about.
What if I don't have a Bible?

You don’t need to bring a Bible. You can download Bible App or Bible Gateway. We normally use the NIV (New International Version), but many of us also love the New Living Translation. And if you prefer a paper Bible, contact us and we’ll get one to you.
When I arrive, where do I go?

Our Programs
Programs for Children
Grace Bible Church has many opportunities for children and youth of all ages. For many years we have served children in the community with an active Awana program, and a week-long summer day camp, VBS. On Sundays, we provide caring, safe nurseries, children's Sunday school and children's church.

Programs for Adults
GBC Adult Ministries exist to equip followers of Jesus Christ to grow in knowledge and application of God’s Word and to serve others, through Growth Groups, EQUIP Elective studies, and Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies. Our Growth Groups ministries include teaching and discussion of God's Word and relevant topics, fellowship, prayer, and caring for one another. Groups meet on Sunday mornings at 9:00 or throughout the week. You are invited to join us!

Prayer Team
We are a family that is committed to praying for each other, especially in times of need. We will pray for you over the phone if you call the church office, and at your request we will mobilize our prayer team members or the full membership base to bring your concerns before the Lord. We serve a God who knows, understands, and cares, and who is the Great Physician, the one who comes alongside to comfort those in trouble.
Care Team
We are people who put their love into action and we do that in many ways. Our Care Team visits those in the hospital or those who are shut in, and they will serve communion outside the church when requested. "Grace Kitchen" provides soup and meals for new parents, or others in need.
