WHAT TO EXPECT @ THE GRACE CHURCH ONLINE
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? NO PRESSURE. NO GUILT. JUST JESUS!
At The Grace Church online, you’re welcome to join with friends from across North America and beyond in celebrating the finished work of Jesus Christ! Each Sunday service lasts around an hour and includes contemporary worship and biblical teaching centered on Christ and the New Covenant.
Unlike most churches, our online service is not simply a video feed from a service happening at a local church building. Our service is designed specifically for YOU, an online viewer watching either by yourself or with a group of friends.
By recording our service in a studio several days prior, it allows you to:
-
-
- Hear the same teaching we offer at our physical campuses
- Be the first to see the service at a variety of time options
- Participate in worship and Bible teaching developed intentionally for you at home
- Avoid any hiccups with internet, A/V, or power outages
- Connect with people worldwide
- Access study questions simultaneous to the message
- Join with others in experiencing church in a smaller, more intimate setting, similar to the early church in the New Testament book of Acts
- Develop a group with a home church feel but with the certainty of music and teaching that stays focused on the New Covenant
- Be a part of reaching more people with the message of God’s love and grace than we could within the limitations of physical church walls!
-
We’re excited to facilitate community through features like commenting, discussion questions, and weekday online groups to help you find community no matter where you’re located geographically!
