The ultimate purpose of Praise and Worship is to bring people into the presence of God so they can receive from the Holy Spirit and from the Word of God. We believe that Praise and Worship should create an atmosphere in which people can experience the presence and the glory of God in their midst.

Our style of worship may be new to you, so we want to explain why we worship the way we do. Praise at Grace Christian Church is upbeat and lively and our Worship is heartfelt and filled with reverence for God. Worship is an expression of our hearts to God. The list to the right is an example of what you might experience in Praise and Worship and in the services at Grace. We’ve included these supportive scriptures to help answer any questions you may have.

We are blessed with many talented musicians and singers at Grace Christian Church which enables our Praise and Worship to include a wide variety of music – hymns to Christian Rock and everything in between. Our singers and musicians understand the importance of music in worshiping God and continually strive to increase their knowledge and use of musical talents God has blessed them with.
