Week of March 15

WORTHY OF IT ALL (WOIA) - PRAYER NIGHT, MARCH 25
As part of our Worthy of It All two-year discipleship journey, we’ve committed to hosting three unique prayer gatherings in 2026—and the first is Prayer Night on March 25 at our Pickerington Campus. This will be a powerful opportunity for our church family to come together and seek the Lord in unity as we prepare our hearts for Easter.

For many of us, prayer is an area where God wants to stretch and grow us. Throughout this journey, we’ve said we would challenge one another in key areas of discipleship—and this is one of them. Let’s lean in together.

Childcare will be available, along with an age-appropriate prayer experience for elementary-aged kids.

*This first Prayer Night will be held at the Pickerington Campus at 6:30pm. Childcare is available and will provide an age-appropriate experience.

FREED UP
The truth is that everything we have comes from God. As we strive to live every aspect of our lives as though God is worthy of it all, we need to be great stewards of what He has blessed us with. Regardless of where you are financially - living in surplus to struggling with your finances - we invite you to FreedUp.

This five-week seminar offers culturally-current resources to help guide and equip believers to manage money through Biblical wisdom. FreedUp runs from March 25 through April 22. Click the button to register.

TOUGH TOPICS - SERMON SERIES OVERVIEW
Tough Topics is a teaching series designed to help people navigate the questions culture is already asking—about faith, truth, and how Christians are supposed to think and live today. Rather than letting culture set the definitions, this series invites us to wrestle honestly with what the Bible actually says, what it doesn’t, and how Christianity should shape our perspectives on the issues that matter most. Aimed at believers who want clarity and confidence—and seekers who are genuinely curious—Tough Topics equips us to think biblically, speak thoughtfully, and live faithfully in a world full of strong opinions and confusing messages.

WHAT THIS SERIES IS NOT: This series is not an apologetics series or an academic exploration of Bible facts; it is intentionally designed to move beyond surface-level knowledge into meaningful understanding and application.

SERMON LINE UP:
  • 3.12/3.15: How do Christians Think About The Government, Happening This Weekend: Big Give Weekend
  • 3.19/3.22: Gray Issues (Yoga, Halloween, Tooth Fairy, etc.)
  • 3.26/3.29: Other Faiths
GLOBAL TRIP OPPORTUNITIES
Grace believes that God makes it our individual and corporate responsibility as messengers of the Gospel to help meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people, both locally and globally. We do this by mobilizing Grace on short term teams to help people meet, follow, and share Jesus. Click the button to check out upcoming opportunities.
