WHAT TO EXPECT AS A GUEST AT AGC

Variety… that’s what you’ll find when you visit our church. But one thing you should expect is a personal, uplifting worship experience. Our services are geared for participation. We typically worship as we live, with enthusiasm.

Childcare

A nursery generally is provided for infants and toddlers. This loving, comfortable atmosphere helps show children at the earliest ages that church is a good place to be.

Bible-oriented activities are often provided for preschool and elementary-age children. At this level, young children are taught to sing, pray, memorize Scripture and learn important Bible truths. They are instructed and led in worship at their own levels. We practice the highest levels of protection for our children. All those serving have been vetted through background checks.

Worship experience

Our services may include quiet times of waiting in God’s presence, spiritually savoring the sacred atmosphere.

Other times they may be vocal with collective praise as worshippers are invited to spontaneously express love and adoration to God. No sincere worshipper need feel out of place at Amazing Grace. And each expression will blend without disruption into the flow of worship.

Spiritual gifts

An interesting aspect of worship is the operation of spiritual gifts. The planned service order may be suspended as individuals speak or share as prompted by the Holy Spirit, under the supervision of our leadership (1 Corinthians 12-14).

One may speak out in an unknown tongue, a Spirit-guided language other than that of the congregation. Another individual, or perhaps the same one, will then give the interpretation.

On occasion, the Spirit may prompt someone to speak out, to prophesy, in the language of the congregation. The gift of prophecy, the gift of tongues and the gift of interpretation, and other spiritual gifts bring the church immediate challenge and confirm Bible truths. They will exhort, edify, and comfort.
