GP Updates

Questions are a natural part of living. We have all had them. . .some insignificant and some life altering. The curiosity of how things work, how things fit together, what makes something the way it is are part and parcel to being a human being. Our next sermon series, “Big Questions” is an attempt to bring some definition to some of the questions that our church family has brought up on how to reconcile matters of God, the bible, culture and society.

Over the next several weeks, we will dive into questions dealing with theology, gender and sexuality, parenting, and cultural tensions. This series is designed to be a type of introduction to these topics as we work as a faith community to think well on these questions and in some cases. . .being ok with the answer “I don’t know”. Join us as we humbly process and shape answers to some of your big questions.

There will be a memorial service for Ron Philips this Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 11am at GracePointe Church, followed by a reception in Helm Hall.

Breakout is our mid-week elementary ministry where we gather together and dig a little deeper into what it means to live for God. Join us for a fun time playing together, praying together, and studying God’s word together!

You are invited to join us for a family friendly evening of fun! Get your family dressed up in their silly costumes and walk our parking lot to be greeted by friendly volunteers at their festively decorated trunks and collect candy. Join us inside for more fun with bounce houses, photo ops and more!

Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.

We hope you will join us! For more info and to register for your workbook w/video access, click the button below.
