Christmas is a time to pause and remember what it’s all about—Jesus. It’s about coming together as a church and as a community to celebrate the hope, peace, and joy found in Him. This season, we gather to worship, to reflect, and to adore the One who gave everything for us.

A note from our pastors

Dear Grace City Family,

Merry Christmas!

What a joy it is to celebrate this season with you. As we pause to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray your heart and home overflow with His love, joy, peace, and hope.

Looking back on 2025, we are in awe of God’s faithfulness and all He has done in and through our church, both locally and globally. As we look ahead to 2026, and prepare to move into our forever home, our hearts are filled with both gratitude and expectation. We have seen God do countless miracles in and through Grace City over these past ten years and anticipate our greatest season yet is upon us. We trust that God has even greater things in store for Grace City and for your lives personally.

We are truly grateful that you’re part of this remarkable church family and pray that the peace of God would rule in your hearts and guide your steps in the year ahead.

We can’t wait to celebrate the wonder of Christmas with you at our Christmas Eve services!

With love and gratitude,
Andrew, Christina, Justice, Adriana,
and Your Grace City Church Family

 

For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6–7
