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/ourbeliefs 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.

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 6 weeks-PreK, K-4th grade, and 5th-8th grade that is offered in each of our weekend services.
