Teaching Style
We preach expositionally. We expound and teach the Bible as God gave it to us, mainly preaching through entire books in the Bible, over the course of a series.
Sunday Services
~ 8:30am Outdoor
~ 10:30am Indoor/Online
GraceKids children’s ministry will be offered at both services, indoors, for infants through 6th grade, with check-in on-site. Masking is still required for GraceKids through Sunday, June 13th. GraceKids Policy through 6/13. Read below for the update on the GBC Covid Policy plan.
Covid Policy Update - Please Read Before Attending
Steps the Elder Team has agreed on:
~ We will maintain an outside service (8:30am) and an indoor service (10:30am) at least through the month of June.
~ The CDC advises unvaccinated people, including children, to continue wearing masks. Given the recent end to Virginia’s universal mask mandate, and in light of the dropping infection rates along with the various challenges and perspectives around navigating COVID, we are not requiring anyone to wear a mask at GBC, nor are we discouraging anyone who feels more comfortable wearing a mask. This policy is now in effect for our worship services, and will go into effect for GraceKids starting June 20th, to allow for parents and volunteers to adjust to changing circumstances.
~ As of Sunday, May 30, the indoor service does not require registration. You may sit where you choose.

About Us
Our mission is DISCIPLES MAKING DISCIPLES - Loving God and People Through The Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are a thriving and diverse community, joined together by common purposes: expositional preaching, passionate worship of God, the pursuit of Christ-likeness together, and a desire to advance the gospel locally and to the ends of the earth!
Jesus is central to everything we believe and do as a community. And everything we know about Jesus is found in the Bible: God's written word given to us. So, we expound and teach the Bible as God gave it to us - generally preaching through entire books of the bible through a series of sermons. We also pray purposely and sing theologically rich songs. We respond to God's word through participating in the Lord's Supper (typically the 2nd Sunday of each month), giving our offerings, and other forms of worship born out of the truths of Scripture.
Our Values
- Emphasizing God's grace in salvation and in our pursuit of holiness
- The Word of God through expositional preaching
- Passionate worship through singing theologically rich songs
- A culture of discipleship through: Home Groups, serving, intentional learning, local outreach, cross-cultural missions, biblical counseling, and loving one another
What to Expect
Worship Style
We passionately sing theologically rich songs in a contemporary style. The aim each week is to have the songs align with the theme of the text that's being preached.
Relaxed Atmosphere
While we take worship and the Bible seriously, everything else about us has a relaxed feel. Wear what’s comfortable, grab a free cup of coffee when you get here, and you’ll fit right in.
Have Kids?
We offer something for infants - 6th grade. On your first visit, arrive a little early and we'll help check-in your children at the Welcome Center (inside), and then give you a quick tour of the building.
Next Steps
Everyone has a next step. What's yours? We hope our church can be a place where you can call home and where you can grow to love God and love others more like Jesus. We're all on this journey of faith together and we're excited for you to take your next step with us.
The Gospel
The gospel is the amazing news of what Jesus accomplished in his life, death, and resurrection. Exploring the gospel is the most important venture we could ever undertake. Want to know more?
Beliefs
As a community, we share some key truths that bind us together. We call these our Confession of Faith.
Children
Your kids are important to you and they're important to us too. Even more, they're important to Jesus! We believe that from a very young age children can learn to love and follow Jesus Christ, so we are eager to come alongside parents in seeking to transfer the Gospel to everyone in GraceKids.
Youth
The Youth Ministry is for students from junior high through high school (7th - 12th grade). In everything we do, our burden is to advance the Gospel to the next generation.
Music
We love to passionately sing! When we gather on Sunday mornings, we love to sing theologically rich songs in a contemporary style.
