There is something holy about finding your place in a community.

Not because everything is perfect, or because everyone has it all figured out, but because there is room to show up as you are. Room to sing. Room to pray. Room to wonder. Room to be known.

At Grace, we believe church can be a place where people find connection, belonging, and hope again. A place where every voice matters and every story has a place in the song.

Come find your place here.

We are excited to celebrate with our pastor, Dr. Gregory S. Neal, and Kade Rogers as they launch the Inclusive Faith Podcast.

This new podcast creates space for honest conversations about faith, identity, belonging, church hurt, hope, and inclusion. In the first two episodes, Greg and Kade share why these conversations matter and begin telling part of their own story as gay men in ministry.

At Grace, we are grateful for Pastor Greg’s leadership, his witness, and his continued commitment to creating a church where people know they are loved, welcomed, and fully included.

The first two episodes are available now to watch or listen.

Watch, listen, and subscribe at www.theinclusivefaith.com/podcast

If you know someone who might need this kind of conversation, we invite you to share it with them.

Wednesday nights at Grace continue to grow into something beautiful.

Last night was a meaningful evening of modern worship, prayer, and community, and we are so grateful for everyone who was part of it.

Good news: our worship leader Quinn will be back with us again next week.

Come be part of The Pathway next Wednesday.

Pride Fest Hub is live! 🌈

Grace is getting ready for Capital City Pride, and we need all hands on deck to help make this our biggest year ever.

Our Pride Fest Hub is your one-stop place to find everything you need: sign up to staff the Pride Festival booth, reserve a seat on the bus for the parade, register to walk with Grace in the Pride Parade, and learn all the details about how we are showing up throughout Pride weekend.

Pride is one of the most important ways Grace gets to share a clear message with our community: you are beloved, you are welcome, and you are not alone.

What if it’s tomorrow?

Maybe tomorrow is the day you hear something you needed to hear. Maybe it’s the day you walk into a room and remember you’re not doing life alone. Maybe it’s sitting next to someone, sharing a smile, singing a song, or simply breathing for a moment in a place where you are welcome.

Maybe it’s not dramatic or loud or instantly life-changing, but something small shifts.

Worship is tomorrow at 10:15 at Grace.

Come as you are. We’d love to see you.

There’s something really special growing on Wednesday nights at Grace, and we’d love for you to experience it with us.

What a fun evening at Grace! 🍦🎶

Last night’s Ice Cream Social was filled with great conversation, laughter, sweet treats, and wonderful community. It was so good to see people gathered together enjoying time with one another across generations.

We also had an incredible evening of music during The Pathway as we continue leaning into this exciting season of worship at Grace. A special thank you to everyone who helped make the night possible and to all who joined us.
