Our Sunday morning service is a great place to start

What to Expect on Sundays

Here's what a typical Sunday morning looks like in 5 steps.

Arrive

Join us at 10:00 AM. Dress casually or dress up, but come as you are! Grace Life meets at 1604 W 1st Street in the Ankeny Christian Academy. Look for signs from the street. We have several reserved guest parking spots available upfront and there will be a friendly greeter who will say hello as you come inside.

Have Kids?

We look forward to meeting you and your family! Grace Life Kids is available for 1-year olds to Kindergarteners during the morning service.

When you walk in you’ll see our check-in table and a coordinator who will walk you through the process of dropping off your kids. In order to ensure the highest level of safety for our children, we run background checks on all children’s ministry workers, provide child safety training for helpers, and utilize an electronic check-in/check-out system. Check-in begins 15 minutes prior to worship. We also welcome kids to sit with you during the service or in our Future Worshiper’s Room.

Singing

We want to give glory to God for the grace He has shown to us through Jesus Christ. We do this through singing a blend of old hymns and contemporary songs, all declaring the truth of who God is and what He has done. While we have a variety of musicians and vocalists assisting us, the main “instrument” of our singing is the congregation, as we lift our collective voices together in worship to God.

Bible Teaching

We believe that the preaching of God’s Word is the central element of our Sunday service and is the means of our growth and joy in everyday life. The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and every part of it points us toward Jesus. Each week you will hear teaching that communicates the message of the Bible in everyday language. If you do not have a Bible, we have one for you!

Stay and Chat

Linger with us after church and chat with those around you. Get to know us a bit! Before you go, be sure to scan the QR code on the back of the sermon notes. This gives us a chance to pray for you and bless you with hospitality.

We know that getting to know people and building friendships can be a bit daunting. But we think that you’ll find the members at Grace Life to be welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Start by coming on a Sunday morning and learn about more ways to get connected.
