WHAT TO EXPECT.
New to Grace Bible Church? We’re glad you’re here! And ... we can't wait to get to know you and your student! Please reach out if you have any questions!
If your student is visiting for the first time on a Sunday, stop by the Welcome Table in the lobby and a staff member will introduce you to someone on the students team.
If your student is visiting for the first time to either Junior High or High School Youth Group, feel free to show up a little early so that we can meet you and them! All students check-in as they enter the building at 7pm. We encourage you to fill out our New Family Information Form prior to dropping your student off. Then they can simply enter either their phone number or yours as they enter! If you have not filled out the New Family Information Form, no worries! Your student will skip the line and talk with someone from our Student Ministries team ... providing emergency contact information. Following youth group someone from our Student Ministries team will reach out to both you and your student.

SUNDAY MORNINGS
Every Sunday, we hope that our students would be contributors in their community, not just consumers. Grace Bible Church hosts 2 services, a 9 am and 11am. Our heart is that students would chose to serve in children's ministry during our 11 am service. If there are students that want to sit in main service, our Junior High and High School leaders will attend the 11 am and create space for any students to sit with them in our "students section".
Thrive Groups are our initiative to provide a space for fellowship, discipleship and personal growth on Sunday Mornings. Dig deeper and go beyond what is offered on Sunday mornings. Connect and share with your community and learn how to make the Church your home. Join us in the Student Center at 10am every Sunday morning.

SUMMER TEACHING SERIES

In a world that never stops rushing, God invites us to something better.
Slowdown is a summer series where we’ll discover the power of stepping out of the hurry and into God’s peaceful presence. Together, we’ll explore how Jesus never rushed, how true rest fuels real faith, and how slowing down actually helps us live with greater clarity and purpose.
Key Verse:
“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
If you’re tired of the constant rush and ready to experience deeper connection with God, this series is for you. Come as you are, slow down, and let Him shape your summer.
Looking forward to growing together!
