Welcome to Grace Church Gisborne! If you are in the Gisborne area and looking for real hope, we would love to get to know you better. Our biggest desire for you is that you would come to know and understand the life transforming message of the gospel and be fully equipped to serve Christ in the place he has put you. No matter where you are from and what stage of life you are in, be assured of a warm welcome with us. If you are a parent or caregiver with babies or toddlers, we welcome you and all the family to worship with us this coming Sunday

Having children included during the service is a normal part of church life for us, but there is a creche room available should the need arise.

The people are pretty relaxed, easy going, and our Sunday services are structured. This helps all of us to worship well. Here's what a typical service looks like:

• A greeting, a call to worship, and a prayer
• We regularly confess our sin, and hear God's assurance of our forgiveness
• We celebrate the Lord's Table weekly (Communion)
• We have a short children's talk, helping our young people feel included
• Through song we praise God, expressing our hearts and gratitude
• An expository sermon is preached in order to explain and apply the Bible
• We conclude with a prayer and benediction, ending our formal time
• After service we enjoy a time of fellowship together, over a drink

While meeting together on the Lord's Day (Sunday) is the highest priority for us here at Grace, we also meet together on Thursday Evenings for a time of Prayer, Psalm singing, and to hear a message from God's word together.
