Ministries at Grace
Find Your Place at Grace
At Grace, all means ALL. Come grow, come serve, or come just as you are. There's a spot here with your name on it.
Children & Youth
Speaking faith and welcome into the lives of our kids and teens. Every space is led by Safe Sanctuaries certified staff and volunteers, so you can worship knowing your little ones are loved and safe.
- Nursery Birth – Age 3 · Every Sunday and at many weekday events
- Grace Place Older 3's – 2nd Grade · Stories, music, art, and play
- Grace Land 1st – 4th Grade · Growing in grace, serving as acolytes, and more
- Youth 6th – 12th Grade · Text Allison at 318-572-3855 for updates and the monthly youth newsletter
Teach, lead a group, bring snacks, or chaperone a mission trip. Kids and teens need adults who show up and keep it real. It takes a big heart and a little patience. Background checks required.

Faith Formation
Wherever you are on your faith journey, there's a next step here. From classic Sunday school classes to small groups built around a shared passion, find a place to learn, ask questions, and grow alongside friends.
Community Groups · Sundays at 9:30 a.m.
Lead a class or group, help gather resources, or dream up the topics and experiences that will inspire what's next.
Worship
Worship takes a whole crew, in front of and behind the scenes. Share a gift you've got, or step out and learn a brand-new one.

Facilities
Safe, inviting, well-kept buildings and grounds for every ministry. Make repairs, oversee updates, and keep our spaces secure. It's a never-ending but rewarding task.

Finance
Work with our leadership board to keep ministry well funded through budgets, financial accountability, and our annual stewardship campaign. A vision for long-term financial health is a big plus.
