Our Vision

We believe in a church where people feel they belong and in doing so rise up to fulfill the calling of God in their lives. We believe that church is family, therefore it's a safe environment to step out and become who God has called you to be. Our vision, in simple terms, is we believe in the power of our living God. We believe in you and together we will fulfill the journey God has for us. The local church is the hope of the world, and we will carry that hope into our schools, universities, families, workplaces, where ever we go!

With the above in mind, here at Grace Community Church, we aim to keep:

Connection with God, connecting with each other, and connecting with our world

Firstly, we connect with God in worship. Worship is not simply singing songs but a daily lifestyle that speaks of our devotion to God.

Secondly, as worshippers of God, we are then connected to a community of His people in a local church. It's a place of family, friendship, care, mutual encouragement, and growth. This is not an institution, but something that is alive and active.

Thirdly, we partner with God in His mission to connect more people with the good news of the Gospel, helping them to know who Jesus is and how He changes our lives through His Holy Spirit.

And what remains foundational; is expressed in our name. People who live constantly with an awareness of God's unmerited grace towards us, expressing that grace among one another and the community around us.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

Hello and Welcome to Grace Community Church. We are very excited you have decided to join us, whether it be a passing visit or a frequent visitor. We welcome you all with open arms. Here is all the information you will need when you visit us on Sunday. There is something for all ages so please continue down this page to find out what is best for you.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30 am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. Parking is available outside the church on Grove Street. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who is located near the entrance.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access at the front of the building and comfy seating is available within the church.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10:30 am with a warm welcome from one of our team members. Then follows a time of sung worship, led by our worship band. We typically have 2 or 3 songs lasting approximately 20 minutes. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God.
We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. One of our leaders will then give a sermon that is bible-based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then finish with a final worship song or with a word of encouragement. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

What about my kids?

We believe that children and teenagers are vital to the life of the Church. Due to our current building project, we are restricted to just our main hall, therefore we have a kids' table set up at the back of the church for all Primary school-aged children. During the preaching, the children are invited to join us at the table, where we look at Bible stories and have different activities for them to join in with. There is also room for younger kids to play and move about. Once the building project is finished we will have a dedicated Sunday school area. Please bare with us whilst space is limited, this is only a season!

We believe in the power of all generation worship, we all have something to give and learn from each other no matter our age. With this in mind, we encourage all generations to take part in worship together.

Getting Connected

Stronger

We are part of the AOG UK denomination who has the strapline 'Stronger Together.' This is a statement we stand upon. Therefore we have a fortnightly Midweek meeting called, 'Stronger', 8pm on a Thursday evening. We currently meet in the Church hall AND via zoom, enabling those that struggle to come out in the evenings for whatever reason to still be able to connect together with God and with each other.
