Get to know about Grace Church
We are a local body of believers in Greenville, North Carolina. We are an autonomous, independent, unaffiliated with any group or denomination. Families, friends, loved-ones, shut-ins, locals, visitors, missionaries, deacons, pastors, staff, etc., all parts of a church body that exist to support and grow in Christ. We welcome EVERYONE! Whatever your story, however your dressed, however you feel… It doesn’t matter to us, it matters to Him. We don’t attend church to because we are supposed to. We attend church to hold ourselves accountable and worship God.
We teach the entire Bible, Old and New Testament. We break down God’s story of reconciling and redeeming a broken humanity to Himself through the life, death, resurrection, and future return of Jesus Christ. We define to connection of the Old Testament (establishment of His great commission) to the New Testament (redemption of His promise). We breakdown the stereotypes and trending rumors by Evangelism. Understanding the Word teaches us how to defend our faith.
We believe Baptism is a public sign of your Christian faith. As it is written in the Bible, we believe in immersion baptism. It is also required to become a member of Grace Church.
We firmly believe in giving resources to advance the gospel in the city of Greenville and the world. We support various ministries and missionaries both locally and worldwide through “Faith Promise Missions”, a missions ministry started at Grace.

For health safety, we changed communion and tithing processes. Communion is offered upon Sanctuary entry with a disposable sealed container of juice and cracker. Tithing plates are no longer sent around during service. A tithing portal is available for online acceptance or a drop-plate at the entry of Sanctuary.
For nursery safety, check-ins and -outs are required by signature and ID. Only adults are permitted to drop-off or pick-up, and they must be the adult registered during check-in.
We love and cherish our youth as the next generation of disciples in Christ to spread His Gospel. We nurture the youth at all ages with tools and resources from Awana, Word of Life, and many other respectable sources.
Sunday school is before the Worship service in the Sanctuary in the mornings. We have set appropriate classes to help them better understand the lesson, and providing a safe place to express themselves and grow with God.
During the school year, nearly every Sunday evening we host Awana for preschool to high school age. The classes are taught by volunteers, church members, and family members.
Throughout the year, we host Word of Life for rising 6th graders to seniors. This is not the same as Awana, but more challenging. Introducing daily bread, further investigating God’s Word, and building a strong discipline of your child’s relationship with God. They experience volunteering, attend Reverb, summer camp, and many exciting experiences.
