OUR CHURCH COMMUNITY
Learn about the ministries and community life at Grace Life Church
MINISTRIES
Sunday Morning is Just the Start
At Grace Life Church, we believe that attendance on Sunday mornings is just the start of what Christian community should look like. We have opportunities to get plugged into small groups, take classes, serve the neighborhood, and make genuine connection with other people.
SMALL GROUPS
Build community by joining a small group
At Grace Life Church, small groups exist to provide the context and rhythms of life for Christ-centered growth in a life-giving community where Christians connect with one another, and engage unbelievers (Acts 2:42-47; 1 Pet. 2:1-8; Eph. 4:11-13; Col. 3:1-17). We believe small groups are a living illustration of the gospel and its power to save us from sin and reconcile us to God and to each other (Rom. 15:5-6; 1 Pet. 1:22-25). We pray the community they foster will also serve as an instrument of worship, a weapon against sin, and a tool for evangelism (Acts 2:42-47; Col. 3:1-17). Although individual groups have their own personalities, you’ll find these same rhythms present in each of our groups: (1) Word and Prayer – Connecting with God (2) Fellowship – Connecting with each other (3 ) Hospitality- Connecting with unbelievers.
KIDS MINISTRY
Bring the Whole Family
We count it a joy to partner with parents on Sunday mornings by serving you and your children. The Children’s Ministry of Grace Life Church exists to teach the Bible, value children, and focus on our mission of sharing all of Christ, with all people, for all of life.
We offer classes for children ages 1-year-olds to Kindergarten. Each of our classrooms offers a safe place for your kids to play and receive age-appropriate Bible lessons while you attend the worship service.
All volunteers are trained and have had background checks. We have a secure children’s ministry area and a check-in/check-out system for parents and children. Children are welcome to be checked in anytime from 8:50am for the Life Class through the end of the service.
DISCIPLESHIP
Attend our Life Classes
Believers need good foundations in order to grow. Our Life Classes help God’s people at Grace Life Church internalize their faith and connect it practically to everyday life. Life Classes are for anyone middle school age and above.
Classes are divided into six separate training tracks as follows: Foundations, Bible Overview, Christian Theology, Christian Discipleship, Christian Relationships, and Engaging the World.
Classes meet from 9:00-9:45 AM on Sunday mornings prior to gathered worship in the ACA auditorium and designated classrooms.
THEOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAM
Grace Life Institute
The Grace Life Institute exists to form mature disciples of Jesus Christ who are growing in their knowledge and love for God, who take ownership of Grace Life Church’s ministries and mission, and who are committed to helping others follow Christ. Through our flagship Theology Training Program and core ministry skills cohorts, we seek to instill a commitment to Scripture, a better grasp of the biblical storyline, a solid foundation in Christian doctrine, and an increasing ability to connect theology to one’s life, worship, and mission.
YOUTH MINISTRY
For your teens
GLC Youth is the student ministry of Grace Life Church serving students in 7-12th grade (or at least 12 years old). Our primary goal is to teach youth to be life-long disciples of Christ. We achieve this by equipping parents to be the primary disciplers to their children, therefore, building multi-generational life in the church. Join us on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00 PM.
