What to Expect

Being new at a church is like starting a new job or going to a new school. It can be exciting, confusing and a little unnerving.

So here’s some information we hope might help.

Please know that you are welcome at Grace Fellowship. We want you to relax, have fun and encounter God’s grace and love.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

In Pickerington, just a short drive from Columbus, Canal Winchester and Lancaster, at 7140 Reynoldsburg-Baltimore Rd. (State Route 256), one block west of Allen Road. Get directions.

When does church start?

Sunday at 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.

We offer nursery, youth and adult Sunday school classes during both services.

What can I expect?

First, just come as you are. Our worship service lasts about an hour and 15 minutes. It includes singing, announcements, Bible teaching and special media such as videos or skits. Under the direction of our Senior Pastor Keith Minier, we use lots of different elements and people to try to communicate the truth of who God is.

First-time visitors are also invited to Common Grounds, our coffee house café, for a complimentary breakfast item or specialty coffee.

How can I learn more about what you believe?

Our goal is to put you in relationship with Jesus at the center of your life. Read our statement of faith and then join us for New to Grace, a class where we share not just what we believe but why we believe it. You’ll learn more about us and we’ll learn more about you. Lunch and childcare are provided. Contact us if you’re interested in attending the next session.

Where can I go to learn more about what Grace has for my family?

Our First Impressions volunteers are available at the front door and Welcome Center in the lobby. They’re happy to answer questions and give you more information about the many classes, programs and services we offer for all ages. Be sure to tell our volunteers that you’re a first-time visitor because we have a small gift bag we’d like to give you that includes a coupon for a complimentary beverage or breakfast item at our coffee house café, Common Grounds.

In addition, we invite you to join us for New to Grace, where we talk more about who we are, what we believe and how you can plug in.

What programs and services do you have for kids?

We love kids so, of course, we offer lots of safe, engaging environments to teach kids about God’s truth, beginning at an early age. In addition to nursery services, we start teaching at age 18 months through preschool. K-6th graders can get involved in NEXT, and 7th-12th graders can check out our youth group, SEVEN.

How can I get involved with the church?

Plugging into small groups, church-wide activities, studies and outreach ministries is a great way to meet new people and grow in your faith. See all the ways you can connect at Grace.

I have questions. Is there someone I can talk to?

Any of our pastors, staff or leaders would love to talk with you about anything, anytime. Just contact us.
