What to Expect at Spirit of Grace

What is available for my children?
Children are always welcome at Spirit of Grace! 
On Sunday mornings at our 10:03am service, we offer:
  • For ages 6 weeks through 3 years:
    SpiritSprouts is our staffed nursery care ministry. Bible stories and songs are taught in a safe, caring environment.
  • For ages 4 years through 5th grade: 
    SpiritKIDS is our children's worship service. High energy multimedia, music, crafts, and games make an experience your kids will love.
  • If you'd prefer to keep your children with you in worship, they are absolutely welcome.  We provide coloring sheets and crayons if you want help corralling youthful energy - just ask at the Information Center.
Can I take communion?
YES! We welcome all to the Lord's Table. Jesus wasn't about excluding people, and neither are we.

Our First Impressions team will guide you to the front for communion. You’ll receive a piece of bread in the palm of your hand, which you then may dip into one of the cups. The first cup is white grape juice, and the second cup is red wine. If you need gluten free bread, please ask the person serving bread. As you return to your seat by the center aisle, you are invited to touch the water in the baptismal bowl as a way of remembering that we are pulled together as a community of God’s people through baptism
What is worship like?
All of our worship services follow the pattern "Gathering, Word, Meal, Sending." 
  1. Gathering — We are gathered together with music and prayer
  2. Word — We hear a reading from the Bible and a message from our pastor. 
  3. Meal — We receive Jesus through the sacrament of Holy Communion
  4. Sending — We are sent to live out our faith in everyday life with music and a blessing.
What should I wear to church?
​We are a casual gathering of Christians, and we don't draw rigid lines about what clothes are appropriate for church.  "Business casual" is pretty dressed up for us, and jeans and T-shirts are the norm.  No matter what you wear, you'll fit right in.
Is an offering collected?
Yes, we collect an offering each week to support the ministry of Spirit of Grace.

But: as our guest, please do not feel obligated to give.  The worship service is our gift to you​, and we hope it brightens your week.
As a Storefront Church, where can I park?
The nice thing about being in a storefront church is that there is lots of convenient on-street parking downtown on Sunday mornings.  We set aside specially marked spaces in front of the church for visitors.  As our guest, you are welcome to use one of those spaces to make your visit more convenient.
Is the Church accessible for persons with disabilities?
Yes!  Our entire ground floor space is fully accessible.  There are curb cuts on either end of our block with corresponding parking spaces, and there are no steps into our building.  Our bathrooms are fully ADA compliant.  There are also additional disabled-marked spaces right in front of the church building, with one step up from the street to the sidewalk.  If you have other questions about accessibility, please contact us.
