We believe the church belongs to the community and learns to speak the language of the community. You don’t have to learn a whole new vocabulary to understand what’s happening here! We’ll make the adjustments, because it matters to us that you get it!

The Bible and the truths of Christianity are timeless and unchanging, but they can be communicated in many different ways. You will hear the Scriptures taught at Grace, and sometimes we go all the way back to the original languages to be sure we’re finding all God intended for us. But they will be presented in a manner that relates to needs and questions you have today!

We celebrate and worship in a musical style that is fresh and new–the language of the heart! Because when we sing our praises to God, we intend to mean it!

Who ever said you had to be bored in church?

You never know what you will find at a Grace worship celebration–possibly a drama or a snippet from a recent movie, sometimes a song in a style you least expected.

You can count on truths from God’s Word and services that honor Jesus Christ as Lord. But you just might be surprised by a few things, too!

That’s because we believe God made us in His image. We’re creative because He is! What else would you expect from a community that loves the arts, like Englewood!

Do you want a church family that is just happy being who they really are? Or would you prefer to have to show up dressed a certain way, with a certain expression on your face, and of course leaving all your bad habits at home?

We vote for being real–and we think God expects that! If you want honesty, Grace is for you!

It’s not that we don’t want to see spiritual progress in our lives. Not at all! We all believe God is still working on us! We just don’t pretend He’s already done.
