Awesome service. Great worship team. Pastor Dan's teachings are deeply rooted in the Bible with life experience to back up his teachings. Pastor Dan's teachings has help me through some difficult times in my life. It's not just credentials or the titles, it's about life experiences. You'll get MEAT at Grace! If you want milk like a baby, Grace is not for you. We may not be jumping up and down with holy ghost fire and tongue speaking apostolic worship, but all congregations are encourage to follow the leading of the spirit by the lifting up one's hand as an acknowledgement. But, you are welcome to speak in tongues and jump up and down if it's your style.
I've been spoiled. I come from Venture Church in Los Gatos where I had the privilege to have Chip Ingram, founder of Living on the Edge as our Pastor. When Chip left as Senior Pastor at Venture to dedicate his time to Living On the Edge, I was extremely sad, and didn't think I'd ever find another home church that I loved as much as Venture. After church shopping in Reno lol, I discovered Grace.
Grace Church mission is to help those with addictions and all the funds stay right here in Reno. Grace has many campuses for those with addictions to recover and commit their life to Christ. Many are young women who were living on the streets, and may have had their children taken away from them, some were in jail, while some just fell on hard times and weren't able to get their lives back on track. Its just amazing to see the work that Grace does for our Reno community. The practical biblical teaching I found here is solid and life giving.
Pastor Dan and Pastor Miguel discuss life's issues openly and honestly dealing with everything from drugs, porn, spending addiction to parenting and dealing with the demands of modern life in social media, celebrity obsessed world. I am getting a clear view of God and my role in the world. I thank God for this church and it's dedicated servants!
I especially appreciate how the messages aren't watered down but speaks the truth in love so that we grow in our Christian walk with Jesus Christ. I never leave church feeling like there must be more but Pastor Dan helps us to grow in our walk with Christ. Grace is a big church but they offer 2 Sunday services and there is never a parking problem.
This place is awesome! I've been attending consistently for nearly a year now and I think I've finally found my church home. The sermons are heartfelt, uplifting and modern.
The greeters (hello people) are very welcoming and friendly. On rainy days they'll even walk you to car carrying an umbrella for you if you've forgotten yours. Very sweet. I can honestly say I look forward to attending services. If you are looking for a big family oriented church, or just a comfortable non-threatening, laid back church, this is the place for you. Oh and did I mention the band, (especially Nick) are awesome! I look forward to rocking out in worship.
Keep up the good work Grace Church. read more
