SUNDAYS
At Grace City Church, Sundays are all about celebration and renewal.
If you are New Learn about What to Expect on Sundays.
At Grace City, we gather throughout the week for different activities and groups – but our main gathering happens on Sunday mornings at Isabella Bird Elementary [Get directions]. Everyone is welcome. The dress is casual, so wear something comfortable. Feel free to grab a bagel and coffee or stop by the information table as you wait for the service to begin.
Our worship is both structured and spontaneous, both contemporary and historic. Our services last about an hour and a half, and include music, prayers, Scripture readings, communion and teaching that’s straight out of the Bible.
Following the service, we invite you to hang around, as most of us do, and make a new friend. Our Sunday gathering offers several age-appropriate children’s programs. Learn more about our GraceKids.
NEXT STEPS
You started coming on Sundays but how can you further get connected? We value the intentional sharing of our lives with one another and the active purposeful participation of every believer in worshiping, serving, and sharing Christ.
Here are some next steps we ask that you take:
- Give Us 6 weeks to get a feel for what we are about.
- Join a Gospel Community Group. These are small groups of 8-12 people that meet throughout the Denver area. Check out our calendar if you are looking for a time that works for your schedule. If you need help connecting contact us.
- Get in the Directory. One of the hardest things is putting a name and a face together. We make it easier with a mobile app directory. This is not a long term commitment but a way to be known and get to know others. Just fill out a card on the welcome table and drop it in the offering. We then follow up with getting a quick photo to go with the basic contact info.
BELIEFS
God desires to be known, therefore we commit to faithfully study, teach, and obey the Bible, where He reveals Himself and His will directly.
God is Father, Son, and Spirit in One, therefore we embrace diversity, unity, and fellowship as essential components of our life together.
God is the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, therefore we gladly welcome His preeminence, providence, and provision in our lives.
God is the substitute Savior, therefore we celebrate the Good News of Jesus Christ as the source of our salvation, the center of our worship, and the heart of our discipleship.
God is the indwelling Spirit, therefore we depend on His active presence to empower, guide, and transform our lives into the image of Christ.
God is unconditionally loving and undeservedly kind, therefore we strive to be a culture of patience, forgiveness, generosity, compassion, and enthusiastic welcome.
God is righteous and holy, therefore we set ourselves apart to Him, pursuing lives of radical nonconformity to the world, the flesh, and false religion.
God has accepted us by free grace, therefore we reject legalistic performance and condemnation in favor of a culture of repentance, faith, and grateful submission.
God is our Champion, therefore we eagerly invite our neighbors to hear and experience the benefits of His victory with us.
A good summary of our Christian faith is found in the Nicene Creed.

Our partnership with TGC is an expression of our own commitment to renewing our faith in the gospel of Christ and to reforming our ministry practices to conform fully to the Scriptures.

LIVING WATER INTERNATIONAL
Living Water International exists to demonstrate the love of God by helping communities acquire desperately needed clean water in the name of Jesus — “the living water” — who alone satisfies the deepest thirst of our souls. Our partnership with LWI enables us to live out the gospel by freely sharing the gift of life all around the world.
