What To Expect at Walk Of Grace

Thinking about joining us for church?

If you’re a visitor to Walk Of Grace chapel, we want you to feel comfortable when you arrive. Part of feeling comfortable is knowing what to expect. Hopefully reading this will help you know exactly what will take place when you visit us.

What are the services like?

Sunday morning services begin at 10:30, and generally end around 12:00. We spend the first 30 – 40 minutes singing songs. After the music our pastor generally shares his message for the day. That usually takes us up to about noon, and that’s all there is to it!

On Sunday nights we have a 30 minute service. We like to call it “Church for Busy People”. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for people who are busy on the weekends to still be able to make time for church. It also gives first time guests a great way to check out what our church is like. On Sunday nights we start at 7:00. We sing for about 15 minutes, and then there is a 15 minute message.

Our Wednesday night services follow a different format each week. Our Wednesday night services start at 7:00 and generally finish by 8:30

• On the first Wednesday of the month, we do what we call a Bible Study. We spend the first portion of the service singing much like Sunday mornings, but for the second portion of the service we go over a Bible study lesson prepared by the pastor. This is different from Sunday mornings because it’s done in more of a “class” format, with discussions, questions and answers, and similar things.
• The second Wednesday of the month is Movie night. The pastor picks a movie with a good Christian message, and we watch it together. There is no singing and no teaching on Movie night.
• The third Wednesday of the month is Bible Discussion night. The format is very similar to the first Wednesday, with the difference being instead of the pastor bringing a lesson, the discussion is directed by questions and thoughts that the congregation brings. If you come on Bible Discussion night, feel free to jump right in with any questions you may have, and the group will discuss them.
• The last Wednesday of the night is Game Night. We feel that sometimes spending time having fun with other Christians is just as important as attending a Bible Study, so we take our last Wednesday of the month to do just that. We sit around the table and play games. There are usually 3 or 4 different games going on at once. Don’t be shy, because none of the regular attenders of game night are!!! If you come, jump right in and have some fun. It’s a great way to get to know people.

What is your music like?

We have what we call a “full band”, meaning we have a guitar, bass, piano, and drums accompanying our singer. Our style varies a bit from song to song, but most of our songs fit somewhere in the “contemporary” range (meaning we sing with a more modern style of music… that is, compared to “traditional” style of singing hymns with a piano and/or organ). Our worship team likes to mix it up with different styles, too, from rock, to country, to rock n roll, to island style, or whatever else they can come up with!

We are a very relaxed church as far as participation in the music goes. If you are comfortable standing and clapping and raising your hands, great! We welcome that! If you are comfortable sitting and listening during the music, we welcome that, too! Be assured that you will not be out of place no matter what you choose to do.

Oh, and don’t worry about not knowing the words to our songs. The words to everything we sing are displayed on an overhead projector at the front of the church!

How should I dress?

Some people like to wear dressy “Sunday Best” type clothes while other like to wear jeans and tennis shoes. We want you to feel comfortable either way.

What do you have for my kids?

We currently have a classes during the Sunday morning sermon for kids 13 and under, and for teenagers we have a Sunday morning Youth class.

Not at all. Besides street parking immediately in front of the building, the public school across the street has graciously allowed us to use their parking lot for our church services and events. (In fact, the Principal was excited to have us in the neighborhood!)
