Frequently Asked Questions
Why are we adding a second service now?
God is growing GracePoint, and we want to lead from strength, not reaction. Over the past 18 months, attendance has steadily increased across every ministry—especially among young families and children. Our Kids Ministry has grown nearly twice as fast as overall attendance, and most classrooms are full each week. Moving to two services allows us to create space before we’re forced to, ensuring that families can continue finding the way of Jesus in a healthy, sustainable environment.here the description goes.
What will happen to the Sunday Discipleship Hour and Adult Bible Study (ABS)?
Our current Discipleship Hour will transition into Midweek at GracePoint, launching on Wednesday nights in 2026. This will include Adult Bible Study and age-specific programming for kids, preteens, and students. The purpose of ABS isn’t going away—it’s being reimagined. We’ll preserve its strengths: biblical depth, discussion, and community. Wednesday nights will provide more variety and make it possible for families to grow together.
Will the worship style or experience be different between the two services?
No. Both services will be identical in format, worship style, and teaching. The same message, songs, and atmosphere will be offered at both times (9:00 and 10:30 AM). This isn’t about creating two different churches—it’s about multiplying opportunities for people to experience the same unified worship and vision.
How will this change affect Kids, Students, and Families?
Kids Ministry will now offer full programming during both services for birth through 6th grade. This means every child can experience age-appropriate discipleship and still attend worship with their family. Students will worship on Sundays and engage in discipleship midweek. This shift allows every age group to have the best of both worlds—time in corporate worship and intentional, age-level discipleship.
How will GracePoint stay unified as one church family with two services?
We’re committed to remaining one church, one vision, and one mission. Both services will share the same heart, teaching, and leadership. To stay connected across hours, we’re planning intentional spaces of unity—like a meaningful connection time between services, all-church gatherings (Vision Nights, Serve the City, and seasonal events), and continued shared small-group rhythms. Our unity has never been about being in the same room at the same time—it’s about being on the same mission together.
