1. A Fresh Start
Have you ever wanted the opportunity to make a fresh start -
to discover a place where you are accepted for who you are
and can grow into who you want to be. Perhaps you went to
church in the past and have gotten out of the habit. Or,
maybe you’ve never been to church at all. Wherever you find
yourself, Palmyra Grace is ready to help you make that fresh
start. You will find people who are growing together in the
journey of life.
2. Real People
At Palmyra Grace, you’ll find real people - in other words,
people just like you. It is not about a building, a place,
or an organization - our church is about real people! Some
words that describe the people at Palmyra Grace are
“friendly, warm, open, accessible, and loving.” Come as you
are, and be yourself!
3. We Are Smaller
That’s right. When everyone else is emphasizing bigness, we
understand that being small can be a gift. It is true you
can lose yourself in a crowd in a bigger church, but you can
also be lost to the pastor and people when crisis come into
your life. A small church not only opens the door for a
“forever” family that loves you it also makes it possible
for close friends to help in time of deep need.
4. Practical Messages
Each week you will be presented messages from the Bible that
will easily apply to your life. We want you to walk out of
Palmyra Grace with a greater understanding of God’s Word and
plan for your life and how you can practically live that out
during the next week. If you are just checking out what
Christianity is all about, you’ll easily understand what
we’re talking about. If you’ve been a follower of Jesus for
years, plan to be challenged in your faith. Believe us – no
naps on Sunday mornings at Palmyra Grace!
5. Authentic Relationships
At Palmyra Grace, church isn’t just a once a week event – it
is about relationships. We’re excited about the newly
forming friendships that are happening at our church. We
know that authentic relationships are hard to come by, and
that’s why we’re making them a big emphasis.
6. Exciting Children’s Ministry
Children are a gift from God, and we treat them that way!
Every week, we offer children’s ministry for birth through
1st grade at the same time as the adult service. Our gifted
team of teachers prepare valuable programs for the kids
every week – stories, crafts, games, and snacks – all in a
safe environment. We think your kids will love it!
7. Conviction
We hold certain Biblical truths to be non-negotiable -
truths that have been held precious by followers of Jesus
through the ages. You’ll find our approach is to “major on
the majors” and “minor on the minors.”
8. A ‘Down to Earth’ Pastor
Every week, you’ll hear how he is seeking to live out the
message – openly sharing the ups and downs of life. His
desire is to change lives by meeting people where they are
and moving them to become fully devoted followers of Jesus
Christ. He wants you to experience the life that God longs
to give you – a life full of hope, meaning, and love.
9. Fun
We believe that life (and church) should be “fun.” Life
isn’t always easy, but living life together can be an
incredible journey. Worship that honors God, practical
messages, and real relationships – now, that’s fun!
10. Dynamic Teen Youth Ministry
We have an excellent ministry for your teenager in grades
7-12. Steps of Faith Youth ministry meets every Wednesday
night at 7pm and shatters the stereotype that "church is
boring." Your teen will experience God at work through
relevant Bible teaching, crazy games, and
fellowship with other like minded teenagers. Teens have the
opportunity to get involved with youth conferences,
retreats, mission trips, camps, small groups and many other
awesome opportunities. Check out the
youth page!" |
