Believer's Baptism

Believer's baptism is professing your faith by following Christ's example and obeying Him by being baptized. We are offering baptism at our Night of Thanksgiving on November 25 at 7PM. This baptism is open to adults, teens, and children who have put their faith in Jesus Christ and desire to follow Him. If you wish to be baptized or would like more information on baptism, please contact Bob Zonts, our family pastor, by Sunday, November 23.


A Night of Thanksgiving

Join us for a night of worship, praise and gratefulness as we look forward to the Thanksgiving holiday on Tuesday, November 25 at 7PM. This will be a time of worship through scripture, song, and baptism that will allow you the opportunity to express thanksgiving and praise to the Giver of all good things. Childcare will be provided for those in preschool and younger.

For more information, please contact the church office.

New Worship Times

God is doing AWESOME things here at Grace! Our desire is to continue to follow God's direction by providing opportunities for our community to GROW closer to God, PURSUE relationships with others, and to SERVE the world. With this in mind, we have expanded by adding a new Sunday worship service!

    Outreach Opportunity
    Light of Life Mission

    Looking for a way to reach out to the Pittsburgh community? Here is an outreach opportunity for you. You are invited to join with us on Saturday, December 13, as we visit the Light of Life Mission in Pittsburgh to serve meals to those in need. We will be meeting in the church parking lot at 4PM.

    Vision For the Future

    We want to encourage you to join us as we seek God's direction for Grace Community Church.We will be receiving one more special offering that will go directly toward Vision for the Future. As we desire to steward what God has given us, the 1st step is to ask God to miraculously provide as we reduce debt on our current facility and prepare for future opportunities. Please prayerfully consider what part God would have you play in this exciting process. If you wish to give toward Vision for the Future prior to our next special offering in September, please use one of the special offering envelopes which are available in the lobby. Thank you for your prayer and sacrificial giving in this endeavor.

    Our next special offering dates: December 24, 27-28


    Newcomers' Class


    God is doing some phenomenal things here at Grace. With the addition of our 4th service, we have seen our attendance jump to over 1400 people a week! We count it a privilege to be able to "honor God by reaching people with the Good News of Jesus Christ and teaching them to become fully devoted followers of him!"
    However with this growth, we are experiencing a few parking issues, especially between the 10:00AM service and 11:30AM service. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We will do our best to shorten the length of our services to help with the traffic flow.
    We are also asking for your help in minimizing these issues. Please consider attending the 8:30AM Service. Please try to bring one car per family instead of 2 or 3. Please follow the instructions of our parking attendants.
    Please remember that this is a temporary issue. God has some great things planned for us in the near future. Please continue to keep our leadership in prayer as we search for a future home that would best fit our needs.


    Grace Prayer Ministry

    You are invited and encouraged to meet with us for prayer every Saturday from 5:00-5:30PM and every Sunday from 7:30-8:00AM in the Youth room. This time is dedicated to praying for God's direction for our church, our leadership, and for those who walk through our doors each weekend. This is a safe environment where we welcome God to be a part of every aspect of Grace Community Church.

    There is no pressure to pray individually. This can be hard or intimidating we realize. Our goal is to have an opportunity to come together and join hearts and faith, whether praying or being in agreement as others pray. All are welcome!

    Additionally, if you have a prayer request or praise that you would like to submit, please contact the Grace Prayer Ministry Team. Any prayer requests that are submitted will be confidential to the Prayer Ministry Team and church leadership. We recognize that your prayer requests and comments deserve the utmost in care and protection and we strive to honor that trust.
