FAQ

  • Grace church seeks to reach people who are far from God. Although our approach is anything but traditional, we believe in and maintain a conservative theological position. Visit gracelife.com for a complete list of our beliefs and statement of faith.

  • Grace Church is non-denominational. We are part of a network of churches called mPact Churches.

  • Our hope for our weekly services is to reach people and connect them with God and one another. Each service will feature live worship and biblically-centered messages to help you connect with Jesus and build a life of meaning and purpose.

  • Grace Church is led by local elders, with an oversight team, while listening to the members and attendees. We get wisdom and accountability from outside sources, while getting personal buy-in and the voice of the people from the local elders. The lead pastor is pastored by the oversight team, comprised of leaders who pastor large congregations. Their advice and insight is invaluable to our Pastor’s decision-making process.

  • Pastor Kendrick communicates with a warm, humorous, and personal style. Each weekend, you'll find his messages are Bible-based, offering practical life guidance, rich in wisdom yet easy to understand. Whether you have been following Christ for some time or are curious about what a relationship with God looks like, you’ll feel as if Pastor Kendrick is talking directly to you.

  • Grace Kids is a fun and exciting environment for 6weeks-PreK, K-4th grade, and 5th-8th grade that is offered in each of our weekend services. Our programming includes a time of music and worship, an engaging lesson from the Bible, and grade/gender specific small groups where kids can meet new friends.

This time is for 6th-12th graders to connect, have fun, meet student leaders, and make friends. There will be fun games, snacks, and a great opportunity to make connections. All students are invited to come hangout with our team and other students!

    After our All Student Hangout session, students will have the opportunity to sit together during the 11:15AM service in the Worship Center!

    Then on Wednesday nights our Students will gather locally for a night of Worship, a message from one of our leaders, and fun games/activities.

    On the First Wednesday of every month we will have IGNITE at the Chapel Hill campus from 6:30PM-8PM for Student-lead Worship, a relevant message and a time to connect with other students. For information about getting a ride from Alamance to Chapel Hill, please reach out to john@gracelife.com
