The Sunday morning gathering is a kind of oasis for weary travelers who\u2019ve just completed their journey through another week. We come to see Jesus, to hear about him\u00a0through God\u2019s Word, and to receive the grace of encouraging conversation with other travelers, all of us longing to take one step closer to him. Through this\u2014and more\u2014we\u00a0leave refreshed, ready for another week of spreading the good news of his kingdom in our community, helping at least one other person take one small step closer to Jesus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>

When Should I Show Up?<\/h3>\t\t\t

Sunday Worship Services @ 9am & 10:45am
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

So that you won\u2019t feel rushed, we do recommend that you arrive 15 minutes before the service so that you can drop off your kiddos if you need to, find your seat and grab some coffee from our coffee bar!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

Do I Have to Give an Offering?<\/h3>\t\t\t

Offering boxes are available in the auditorium and in the lobby, but as a guest, please do not feel any pressure to give. Giving is an act of worship for our regular attendees, allowing them to thank God for the work He is doing in their lives and gives Grace Church the means to reach more people for Christ in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>

What Should I Wear?<\/h3>\t\t\t

Our services are for you and we welcome the laid back Colorado lifestyle, so come dressed however you feel most comfortable. We\u2019re thrilled that you\u2019re joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you\u2019re wearing. Dressed up or dressed down, we have a variety of styles at our services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

Do You Have Communion?<\/h3>\t\t\t

We celebrate communion as a church family the first Sunday of each month. Anyone can participate in communion as long as they are a believer in Jesus Christ. The juice and bread we share represent the blood that Jesus shed and His body that was broken on the cross so our sins could be forgiven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>

What Will the Service Be Like?<\/h3>\t\t\t

Our Sunday morning gathering is made up of congregational worship where we sing songs of praise, and sometimes lament, to God. There are also components of prayer lead by elders and pastors, as well as congregational prayer and declarations of historic confessions of the church. However the central component of our service is the proclamation of God\u2019s word. Known as a sermon, message, or teaching, it is when one of our pastors or elders explains and applies a portion of the Bible to our lives, showing how it points to Jesus, and helps us take one step closer to him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

Are There Children’s and Youth Programs Available on Sunday Morning?<\/h3>\t\t\t

Grace Church offers Nursery & Toddler Care (0\u20134yrs.) for your children to enjoy during both services. Our children\u2019s Sunday School for Kids (K\u20136th), and Sunday School (7th\u201312th) are available during the 9am service.
