Welcome to Grace UMC
Join us at one of our worship services at 8:30 am and 11:00 am. Sunday School classes begin at 9:45 AM. Enjoy a cup of coffee and good conversation during Fellowship Time in the Welcome Center at 9:30 am and 10:30 am.
 
Grace Children’s Church is offered during both worship services. Children ages 3-8 are invited to join us for games, crafts, and Bible time. Children will sit with their families during the beginning of the service, then after the children’s moment, they will be called to leave for Children’s Church. **The WAVES of Grace Children and Youth evening programs meet each Sunday from 4:00 pm-6:00 pm.**
