It is the desire of the leadership and congregation at Grace Life Church that all who come would feel welcome here and free to enter into the joy of the Lord. The information below will be helpful to our first time guests who may not be familiar with our style of worship. Your questions or comments are always welcomed.

Some would define Grace Life Church with terms like charismatic, Pentecostal, Spirit-filled, full gospel, independent, and nondenominational. These terms can vary widely in what is communicated depending on the ideas, beliefs or experience of the one using them or hearing them. Some of these terms are becoming cloudier and faded in what image they may create.

Christians are part of Christ’s body that He is raising up to proclaim His Kingdom, its power and its promises. Col 1:24, “I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church.” Eph 1:22-23, “And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

Each of us as individuals that are in Christ and Christ is in us are members of His body. We believe each individual church is a part of His body comprised of the individual cells we all represent. Each cell is significant and has an important part to play in the life and health of each church and community. 

No Liturgy, Written Prayers or Predetermined Program.
We desire the Holy Spirit to lead people and meetings rather than only be led by a set routine or program. The leadership endeavors to see God’s order in the service while also meeting the needs of those present. Our desire is to lift up Jesus Christ as we magnify Him with our whole hearts. Come expecting to meet with the Lord and His people, drawing love and grace from Him and each other.

Songs With Bible Reference
The songs used to worship the Lord are diverse and usually projected on screen for congregational singing. Some hymns are sung, but mostly contemporary Christian songs that include scripture verse and scripture paraphrase set to music. In this, the Lord Jesus Christ is praised and we are greatly encouraged by His life through His own words!

Singing In The Spirit.
“I shall pray with the spirit and I shall pray with the mind also; I shall sing with the spirit and I shall sing with the mind also” I Cor 14:15. Singing with the mind is singing in our native language as described above. Singing with the spirit (also called “tongues”), is singing in the language (tongue), believers may receive when baptized in the Holy Spirit, Who leads these spontaneous choruses of worship (See Act 2:4 and I Cor. 14:3, 21-22) One voice, one mind, one heart to love and glorify Jesus!

Prophecies and Messages.
I Cor. 12:7-10, “But to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge, to another faith, and to another gifts of healing by one Spirit, and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues”. We believe these expressions of the Spirit are for Christ’s church today, and that He has given instruction in His Word concerning their purpose and use for edification. These gifts may be seen expressed in our congregation as the Holy Spirit prompts an individual. We ask that the prophecies and messages be shared with the church leadership, prior to bringing them before the entire congregation. This allows for confirmation that the prophecy or message is indeed for the entire church body.

Lifting Hands, Clapping, Shouting, Dancing.
These are expressions of worship and love for God who is worthy of all praise. Psalm 63:4“I will lift up my hands in thy name”. Psalm 47:1, “O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph”. Psalm 149:3, “Let them praise His name in the dance.”

Laying On of Hands and Anointing With Oil For Healing.
James 5:14, “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.”



Welcome to Grace Life Church, we hope feel free to enter into worship as you are comfortable and God’s Spirit leads you. May we bless the Lord with our hearts and worship.
