Weekly Meeting Times:

*The following officially launches in March:

College Connect: This is our connection point at 10:15 every Sunday morning right before the main service. College Connect happens at the lower patio in front of the church, there students are able to reconnect with one another, hear from the college director about the Word and the plans for the week, and go together to the main service. This is the doorway into the ministry for many first-time visiting students on Sunday morning, and the connection point for our GFC local and nonlocal returning students. It is the rallying and reference point for the ministry.

Grace Sunday AM: This is the 10:45 main service with Buddy and Aaron on Sunday mornings. We believe that part of our students moving into adulthood is having them engage in the main service with other adults, and not having their own separate service on Sunday morning. This environment of the Word and corporate cross-generational worship is where we want our students to primarily engage on Sunday morning.

Generation Salaam: Every Wednesday at 5pm, we travel to apartment complexes in Clarkston and share the love of Christ with the kids who live there. It is a great place for students to serve and learn what it means to demonstrate God’s love. If you want to be a part of Generation Salaam, meet in the High School room at 5pm. We worship and pray together, and then leave at 5:30. This is where we participate in God’s Missional Kingdom.

House Church: This is our student led community that meets every Thursday night at 7:00 in a local student’s home. House Church accomplishes the “temple–house” model you find in the early church within the book of Acts. Thursday night is a mirroring of what you find on Sunday morning with the Word, worship, and fellowship, but in a more intimate and student led environment. House church is the place we see the most vibrant community happening. Contact John@gfc.tv to learn where House church meets.

Logos: This is our biblical and theological enrichment forum that meets once every other week on Tuesday evenings (starting March 13th) from 7:30-8:30 at the 1123 House Chapel. Logos is where our students will be able to dive more deeply into the gospel and rich mysteries of God through an engaged learning environment. This is not a service, but a time of fruitful education. We believe our college students are hungry to experience a collegiate style of lecture and dialogue concerning the Christ they wish to know deeper. Logos is the forum where biblical and theological knowledge, lead into a deeper experience of life with God and others. To learn more about what Grace believes, check out our statement of faith.
