To the heartbeat of Grace Church—those who serve and those who want to—you’re invited!

Whether you are currently on the Safety, Kids Check-In, Welcome, Deacons, Prayer, or Missions Teams—or if you’ve been looking for a way to get involved for the first time—please join us for our Grace Teams Meeting immediately following the service on Sunday, March 15.

• Current Servers: Come for a quick huddle and a "thank you" lunch.

• Interested Guests: Grab a slice of pizza and see where you might fit in!

RSVP HERE: We want to make sure there's enough pizza for everyone! Please let us know if you’re coming by March 12 so we can get an accurate head count for pizza.

Email Will at will@graceva.com with any questions!

We will meet all together and go over any church wide things we need to discuss while we are eating lunch. Then we will break off into our various groups for 20-30 minutes to discuss and check in on area specific things. 
(Deacons please plan to stick around 15 minutes or so after) 

We are hosting IF: One Night this March! It’s one night to stop, to fix our eyes on Jesus, and to be reminded that our time is short and our purpose is clear—to help everyone everywhere know Him. Together we will get to experience powerful Biblical teaching, engage in deep conversations, and be encouraged to surrender their lives in greater obedience to God. Mark your calendars and ask a friend to join you! More details to come!

Be a part of an unforgettable night where every guest is crowned a King or Queen! We are looking for energetic, kind-hearted volunteers to host the Hangout Room—the ultimate "chill zone" for our guests during the prom.

What You’ll Be Doing:

As a Hangout Room volunteer, your mission is simple: Make it the best party in the building!

• Keep the Popcorn Popping: Serve up snacks and keep the treats flowing.

• Be a Friend: Spend time talking, laughing, and hanging out with our honored guests.

• The Vibe: Whether it’s playing a game, chatting, or just making sure everyone feels included and seen, you are there to provide a comfortable and joyful space for guests who might need a break from the loud music of the dance floor.

Requirements:

• Mandatory Training: All volunteers must attend our Night to Shine Training Night Monday January 26 at 6:30 PM. This ensures everyone is equipped to provide the best experience possible for our guests.

• Background Check: To prioritize the safety of our guests, a current background check must be on file.

  • If you already have a background check on file with us here at Grace, you’re all set!

  • If you do not have one, Grace will provide and cover the full cost of the screening.

• A Heart for People: No special skills are required—just a big smile and a welcoming spirit!

We invite you to join us for a special time of celebration and covenant as we dedicate the children born into our church family during 2025.

Baby Dedication is more than just a ceremony; it is a moment for parents to publicly commit to raising their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It is also a vital opportunity for us, the church body, to pledge our support, encouragement, and prayers for these families as they begin this journey of faith.

Please join us as we welcome our newest little ones and cover these families in prayer.

Email office@graceva.com if you’d like to participate in this year’s baby dedication.

Join us during the Life Group hour for a special presentation from our friends "down the hall!" We are excited to welcome Kathryn Bremner, Executive Director at Grace Christian School, as she shares exciting updates on what God is doing through their ministry.

What to Expect:

• School Updates: Hear about the growth, vision, and upcoming projects at GCS.

• Student Stories: Listen to firsthand accounts from students as they share how their time at the school is shaping their lives and faith.

• Community Connection: Learn how we can continue to support and pray for the faculty and families right here on our campus.

Don't miss this chance to celebrate the work of Grace Christian School and see how our neighbors are thriving!

Community isn’t just a nice idea—it’s where our faith comes to life. This year, we aren’t just "joining groups"; we are recommitting to walking alongside one another as we follow Christ. Whether you’ve been in a Life Group for years or you’ve been waiting for the right moment to start, January 4 is your day.

Life Groups are the heartbeat of our church. They are the places where we:

• Deepen our understanding of God's Word.

• Develop friendships that go beyond Sunday mornings.

• Find Support during life’s highs and lows.

Join us on Sunday, January 4, to find a group that fits your schedule and season of life. Let’s make 2026 the year we truly grow together.

The Mystery: The Gym. The Weapon: A Mystery. The Suspects: You and your friends!

Join us for a unique and interactive game night experience as we play a life-size version of the classic board game, Clue! Instead of moving pawns, you will be moving through the "mansion" (our church gym) to gather clues and crack the case of Who Did It, With What, and Where.

We'll fuel our investigation with plenty of hot pizza and good company. It's the perfect way to spend a Friday night getting competitive, making new friends, and having a blast!

Join us as we celebrate the incredible Charlotte Miller on her retirement!

After 23 years of dedicated service as the Administrative Assistant here at Grace, Charlotte is hanging up her keyboard. It's hard to imagine the office without her warm smile, tireless work ethic, and the countless ways she's supported our staff and congregation over the years.

To honor her dedication, we're hosting a Retirement Potluck Lunch on Sunday, November 2nd, immediately following the worship service. The event will take place in the Gym here at Grace. Grace will provide the main course, and we ask that you bring a favorite side dish or dessert to share.

More than just food, we want to share our appreciation! Please come prepared to tell a favorite story, share a memory, and express our collective thanks for the remarkable work Charlotte has put in.

Let's make this a celebration worthy of her 23 years of service!

Liturgy has a rich history for the Church. Liturgy emphasizes repetition week after week that impresses things of scripture on the heart of the believer and involving the whole congregation in worship. There are beautiful aspects we often overlook in our worship today that we want to take time and focus on. We won't get the full effect since we don't do this on a regular basis, but it's a tradition with beauty we can still learn a lot from. 

Join us to worship in an old and new way before life groups. If you’re volunteering in Grace Kids we highly encourage you to come so you can worship before volunteering. 

Join us Sunday August 17th as we join with other churches in our area to seek God's grace for the upcoming school year for Mechanicsville Elementary School. We will meet over at the school and lift our voices in worship and spend time in prayer for teachers, students, admin, bus drivers, cafeteria and custodial workers, and all those involved in the school.
