Our Worship includes a variety of styles to glorify God ranging from Traditional to Blended. We have one service and the style changes each week. We encourage all members to get worshipfully involved in the areas of reading scripture during worship services, communion guild, counting teams, greeting teams, Choir and ushering. There are many opportunities to serve the Lord at Grace Lutheran.
Our Internal Parish Life and Focus: “Project Restoration” begins with the scripture based theme “Restore unto me the joy of thy Salvation and uphold me with Thy free spirit.” (Psalm 51:12) Reconciling relationships is at the core of God’s desire, He sent his son Jesus to reconcile His creation to Himself. God wants all people to be saved and come to know the true faith. At Grace Lutheran we focus our teaching practices by incorporating a practical application in our daily lives, instruction in scripture, Luther’s Small Catechism, and facing experiences with the constant presence of Jesus in our lives. Our instruction is designed for Adults and Young people, at the very core it moves with, relates to and adjusts with the changing times of society in the secular world. Equipping all the Saints with tools that God has provided us for our salvation. Teaching and Learning the unchangeable Word in a changing society.
Our External Focus as a Parish: “Come Celebrate at God’s Place Called Grace, A Life Living and Learning Center to the Community.” Continued development and growth has occurred in this area with the introduction of ministry based on Jesus constant presence in our lives, “Cruisin’ with Jesus” a car show; “Runnin’ with Jesus” a 5k run; “Hoopin’ with Jesus” 3 on 3 Basketball; “Holy Ground” Golf Benefit and “Walkin’ with Jesus” are some of ministry activities engaged in the Parish life. Canvassing and proclaiming the Gospel to the community has been done by Adults and Young people under the theme “Let your feet do the walking and the Holy Spirit do the talking.” All of these activities are supported by our Adults and Young people’s membership auxiliary team “The Grace Nuts” with the central focus: “We’re nutty about Jesus, our works are a result of God’s grace, giving us faith.” (Ephesians 2:8-10) The Grace Nuts are to be Living examples and bring witness to Jesus in our lives. The Grace Nuts promote good service,
community and inviting fellowship that leads to peace and mutual edification. (Romans 14:19)
