Church of Grace is designed to help people "make a difference” in their lives and the lives of others. We are known for being a church with excellent Bible teaching and friendly, accepting people with a deep desire to serve God and the community.
At Church of Grace we have three high priorities:
- Moving worship experience.
- Faith-strengthening Bible teaching
- Excellent programs for children, junior high and senior high youth
Because so many people have a desire to learn more of the Bible and God's ways, Dr. Tom Barkey utilizes his skill of verse-by-verse teaching to help people grow in their relationship with God. Dr. Barkey's style is down to earth, animated, and visual. Dr. Barkey's ability to put truth into practical terms helps to change people's lives.
At Church of Grace we feel strongly that everything must be done in a biblical way that promotes growth in our relationship with God. We are a Spirit-filled church and therefore believe in, and experience, the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We are aware of the abuses that have occurred in some churches, and the bad reputation Charismatics and Pentecostals have with some people. It is our goal to assure you that nothing happens out of order or out of pure emotions. We are here to honor God, serve people and change the world.
