Children at Grace from ages 4 through 4th grade have their own worship service on Sunday. They will be dismissed during the service just before the Scripture text is read.

Grab a coffee after the worship service and join us in the fireside room for an exciting Sunday School series where we’ll travel through the actual lands of the Bible with Expedition Bible!

In this class, we’ll watch high-quality, faith-building videos from Joel Kramer as he explores:

The real locations of famous Bible stories

Archaeological discoveries that confirm God’s Word

Ancient cities, seas, mountains, and artifacts that bring Scripture to life

The goal of this class will be to build your faith with actual evidence that God has left behind for us that confirms that his word is true. 

Discover the Bible Like Never Before!

The Fighter Verse is selected each week as a helpful tool for meditation and memorizing scripture.

We are so grateful for all the time and effort you put into loving our Neighbors and the next generation this summer! Come celebrate a job well done! Bring a picnic supper and we'll provide a Brownie Sundae Bar! August 23rd from 5-7 pm. Please join us!

Registration is now open for GYM! GYM is for students in 5th-12th grades. We will be studying Exodus this year and are excited to get going!

The first night will be a FUN night on August 26th from 6-7:30! Regular GYM will start Sept. 2nd (and then every following Wednesday) from 6-8 pm. High Schoolers are encouraged to stay until 9 pm for Late Night.

Mark your calendar for the Grace Golf Tournament! Cost is $55 per player which includes green fee, cart rental, and cost of prizes. Tee times are from 1-2:00 PM. Awards will take place around 6PM after the final group finishes. Sign up your foursome at the church Welcome Center beginning this Sunday!

As we reach mid-August and State Fair time, many of us are gearing up for big changes in schedules. From summer's relaxed and lazy days and erratic schedules to fall's daily routines and expectations of timeliness (not my forte, but I'll do my best!).

At Grace we are also looking ahead to scheduling opportunities like Sunday school, GYM, small groups, and Bible studies. 

There is one more opportunity I'd love to see many of you take part in: A production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" the weekend of December 12-13. This fun play offers entertainment for all ages and a great message of God's greatest gift to all those who believe. We will incorporate our kids' Christmas program into the production so all our Grace kids can participate. Anyone is welcome to audition, and there is also plenty of room for backstage and background help for those who would rather not be on stage. Auditions will take place August 29th and 30th, and September 12th and 13th, so mark your calendars and get ready for a very exciting fall at Grace Community Church!

Check the linktree for more information on these opportunities. We send a weekly email full of information, including small groups, bible studies, and ways to get plugged in. If you aren’t getting it and would like to, please contact the church office!

The 4+2 Supper Club at Grace is a fun and easy way to get to know more people at Grace! Rotations change every month, where you are matched with a different couple in the church. One couple hosts and makes the main dish. The other couple brings a side dish. Plan a date for dinner that works for all, then invite 2 more people to join you as guests.

Tap the button below to be added to the rotation. If you have any questions or would like to try it out as a guest sometime, please contact Robin Smith at 515-298-0678.

A Discipleship Triangle is a group of three Christians who meet weekly to read God’s Word

obediently (Matt. 7:24–27), pray fervently (James 5:16), and bear burdens (Gal. 6:1–5).

Triangles provide a context for disciples of Jesus to have true fellowship with God

and one another by walking in the light and practicing the truth. It's our vision at Grace that

every church member be an integral part of a triangle that encourages them to grow in their faith, pursue specific acts of obedience, and actively battle sin.

They consist of 2-4 people (same gender) who meet weekly. Click the link below to find out more, or talk to Pastor Ben.

We praise God for the sacrificial giving from our church family and visitors!

Here's how to give to the church general fund:

1. Go to the Giving tab on your Church Center app and follow the prompts to give online.

2. Find the Giving Link on our Linktree.

3. Place your offering in the box in the courtyard.

Children are always welcome to stay with you in the service, but here are options:

• Nursery: Available for children ages 0-3 on the north side of the building. Drop your child/ren off any time between 9:20-11:45. Please make sure to sign in and leave some information about your child.

• Children’s Church: Children ages 4-4th grade stay with you in service until they are dismissed for Children’s Church. This takes place in the youth room, and kids have their own church service with singing, prayer, offering, and a lesson. Children may be picked up at the conclusion of the service or can remain in the room until after Sunday School. Children will not be dismissed unless an adult is there to pick them up.

• Parent/Child room: Parents can take their children here for a quiet space to calm down during the service. This room is not staffed, but feel free to use it if that is the best option for your child. This room will have the service livestreamed, and it is right next door to the nursery.

• Nursing Room: Available Sunday mornings from 9-12. It is across the hall from the nursery. This room will also have the service livestreamed.

Note: All of our childcare staff over the age of 18 have been through Ministry Safe training. We will always have 2 adults in each room.
