Contemporary Worship

9.00 AM - Sanctuary

The 9:00am Contemporary Worship Service meets in the Sanctuary every Sunday. We encourage a come-as-you-are spirit that spills over into how we dress, how we express ourselves in worship and ultimately, how we hope to meet with God in the midst of our community. Join us as we let our guard down, lift our heads up and experience God's grace through band-driven music, prayer, and the study of God's Word.

Traditional Worship

9:00am and 11:15am

Traditional worship meets at 9am in the Chapel and 11:15am in the Sanctuary each Sunday. The Chancel choir provides music leadership every Sunday honoring a strong choral tradition, a rich heritage of hymn singing and the regular introduction of new music and styles that enhance the worship of Almighty God. Pipe organ, piano, orchestral instruments and handbells provide accompaniment and stand alone as solo musical offerings. Through our worship we respond to God and each other. Through our music we engage more closely to God as we celebrate Christ and experience His love.

Choral

  • Chancel Choir
    The Chancel Choir is the major vocal ensemble at our church.  Comprised of singers who enjoy singing in a large choir, membership comes from all segments of the church population and represents a wide variety of talents and experiences.  Some music experience is expected in vocal or instrumental music for membership.  This choir is the regular vocal ensemble for Sunday worship services and other major worship opportunities.  In addition, the choir regularly presents major religious choral works with orchestral accompaniment.  Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 PM in the Choir Rehearsal Room in the Music Suite.  The Chancel Choir is open to anyone from high school age to senior adults, and there is no audition necessary.  The Chancel Choir is under the direction of David Leestma.
  • Encore Choir
    Our 50+ Choir is made up of those that love to sing and can attend rehearsals during the day.  This choir sings once a month in the 9:30 AM worship service in the Founders’ Chapel, for retirement homes, and at meetings of senior adults at other churches and in the community.  Membership is open to anyone in this age group – the only requirement is a love of music.  Rehearsals are on Tuesday afternoons from 2:00 to 3:00 PM in the Handbell Room, which is located in the Music Suite.  The director for the Encore Choir is Aaron D. Wilson.
  • Ensemble Singing
    There are three different ensembles that meet periodically to rehearse and sing for the Chapel Service and other worship opportunities.  You can find a place in the Ladies’, Men’s, or Mixed Ensemble.  Membership is open to members of the Grace congregation, singers from the Chancel Choir, as well as guests and friends.  The ensemble coordinator is Aaron D. Wilson.

Handbells

  • Chancel Bells
    This choir is the principal handbell ensemble at Grace.  The Chancel Bells ring at regularly scheduled intervals for Sunday morning worship as well as for smaller worship services and groups in the community.  They regularly participate in handbell festivals and events for church related activities.  Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 PM in the Handbell Room.  Lee Bost is the director of handbells.
