Summer at Grace

Summer connected, encouraged, and in community.

Welcome to the Summer at Grace

Summer at Grace is an invitation to stay connected, grow spiritually, and enjoy meaningful community all season long. Through our Summer on the Mount sermon series, weekly devotional content, special resources, and a variety of small groups and fellowship events, we’re creating space to follow Jesus together—even in the slower rhythms of summer. Whether you're around every week or in and out, there’s something for you.

This Week at Summer at Grace

Wednesday, 8.27 – Ladies' Small Group | 7 PM at GCHQ
This women’s group is diving into Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen—a powerful video series that helps break toxic thought patterns by anchoring our minds in Christ.

Thursday, 8.28 – Ladies & Kids Park Meet-Up | 10:30 AM at Striker Park
Relax, connect, and enjoy some time outside with other Grace City women and kiddos. Bring snacks, sunscreen, and friends! This is our last park meet-up of the summer, so we would love for you to join!


Sunday, 8.31 – Worship Gathering | 10 AM at 2533 Crescent Ave
Join us for worship on Sunday as Pastor Chris continues our series Summer on the Mount: Jesus' Upside-Down Kingdom, and we work through Matthew 7, where Jesus teaches us how to treat others, warns against false prophets, and calls us to build our lives on true obedience to him.
