Your First Visit to Grace Church

We warmly welcome your visit to Grace Church and hope you will be blessed as you worship with us.  We hope this page will answer common questions.  If you have any other questions, please call the church.

How should I dress for church?

We tell people "come as you are."   On any given Sunday, you'll see people who are dressed formally in suits and ties and others who are dressed casually, so chances are that you won't feel under-dressed or over-dressed.

Where should I sit? 

We have ushers who will help you find a seat.  Feel free to arrive a few minutes early to enjoy the prelude music, and to pray in preparation for worship. 

Are children welcome?

Yes indeed!  For younger children, there is nursery care available in the spacious nursery just off the hallway in Ketchum Hall.  Our experienced nursery care provider has been with us for many years.  On the other hand, you and your child may prefer to stay together, and that is perfectly all right.  Older children sit with their families.  We have crayons and coloring pages available in the entryway to help occupy little hands.  Children can learn to follow and enjoy the predictable and comforting rhythms of the liturgy. 

Is it difficult to follow the worship liturgy?

The worship liturgy that we use is printed in the bulletin you'll receive as you come into church, so you'll be able to follow along easily.  Participate as much as you feel comfortable.  Some visitors prefer to sit near the rear so they can follow the lead of people around them regarding when to stand up, when to kneel, and so forth.  For more information on our form of worship:
