A road map to your first visit

Here's exactly how it goes, from the street to your seat.

  1. Pull up to campus Our Parking Team will help you find your spot safely and quickly.
  2. First time visiting? We've got a parking spot saved just for you. It's signed, and it's the closest to our Plaza for your convenience.
  3. Head for the New Here Tent Our team will be standing by to assist you and show you around campus. Got kids? We'll make sure you're escorted exactly where to check them in.
  4. Find your seat Select one of our venues on campus to view the service, and our Usher Team will make sure you're greeted and comfortable.

Before & after

Come early and find connection.

You don't have to time your arrival perfectly, and you won't be standing around alone if you're early. The Plaza is open before and after every service.

  • Coffee, tea, and cold drinks available around campus, free every service.
  • Seating built for connection, not just waiting around.
  • Lawn games and a playground, so the kids can run.
  • Ministry tables and our Next Step corner, to learn more about connecting at Grace.
  • Our pastors and prayer team, around and glad to talk through anything you need.
Where you'll sit

Multiple spaces to experience the service

On campus we have two venues for you to experience the service in. Both have live worship and the same message, and both are built to be comfortable for whatever you need.

Teaching from the Bible during a Sunday service at Grace
The teaching

Gospel-centered teaching, always from the Bible

We're big on this one. Every Sunday, someone opens the Bible and works through what it actually says, then gets specific about what it means for your week. Not a pep talk with a verse stapled on.

No insider language, no assumed background, nothing you needed to read ahead of time. If you've never opened a Bible in your life, you'll still be able to follow.

For the word of God is alive and active.

Grace Kids

Your kids will love it here

Grace Kids is available every service, newborn through 6th grade, in the Kids Center in Building C. This is more than childcare. We craft each space to be tailored to their age, so their hour is spent having fun, building relationships, and learning the truth about who Jesus is.

  • Secure check-in. Tag-matched in and out, so nobody leaves with the wrong person.
  • Background-checked team members. Every one of them, trained before they're ever with your kids.

Come a few minutes early your first visit. We'll get your family in the system once, and every Sunday after that takes about a minute.

Students

Students are part of what we do

On Sunday mornings, middle and high school students are in the Worship Center with the rest of us. That's on purpose. There's something a student learns by watching the adults who love them worship that they can't learn in a room by themselves.

They're not just sitting there, either. Students serve on teams and grow alongside the adults around them, which is exactly where we want them.

Then Wednesday nights are theirs. Students take over the whole campus, starting at 6:30pm and running to 8:30pm, for worship, teaching, and small groups.

If it's your student's first time, one of our youth leaders would love to meet them afterward.

Tell us what you need. We'll handle it.

Sunday should never be the hard part. If any of this would make it easier to be here, just say so ahead of time and it's done before you park.

Wheelchair seating

Accessible seating throughout the Worship Center. Our ushers will walk you right to it.

Mother's Room

Off the Kids Center lobby in Building C, with the service streaming in so you don't miss the teaching.

Outdoor seating

Coffee and a seat on the Plaza if a big room isn't where you want to start. Plenty of people begin right there.

Something else

If there's anything that would make Sunday work better for you, ask. We'd rather know.

Want to see it before Sunday?

Walk the campus on a quiet weekday. No crowd, no service, just you and someone who can answer anything.

Good questions

Everything else you're wondering.

How long is a service? +

About 60 minutes, start to finish. If you come to the 8:30, you'll be out well before 10:00.

What should I wear? +

Whatever you're comfortable in. We're a casual church, and you'll see jeans, shorts, boots, and the occasional suit in the same row. Nobody is checking. Wear what you'd wear on a Saturday.

Is anyone going to put me on the spot? +

No. We won't ask you to stand up, introduce yourself, or fill anything out. You can come, sit, listen, and leave, and that's a completely normal first Sunday.

What if I'm not a Christian, or I'm not sure what I believe? +

Then you're in good company, and you're welcome exactly as you are. Plenty of people here are still working it out. You don't have to believe anything, sing anything, or give anything to be in the room.

If you want to dig into it, start here.

Can I take communion? +

Communion is open to everyone in the room. We take it as a remembrance of Christ's sacrifice, and we'd encourage anyone who believes to take it with us as part of worship.

If that's not where you are, no problem at all. Let it pass and nobody will notice or mind. We share communion periodically through the year, not every week.

Do you have wheelchair-accessible seating? +

Yes, our Worship Center has accessible seating throughout. Let anyone on our Guest Services team know and they'll walk you right to it, or text us ahead at 530.444.4248 and we'll have it ready before you arrive.

Make This Sunday the Best Day of the Week

We're excited about what God is going to do in your life this next season, and we'd love for you to come experience His story unfolding here at Grace.
