Grace is on the move! 

God has blessed the seedling that was Grace Church, and grown us.  So after much prayer, we're moving, being transplanted to a larger space, at First Christian Church, 1401 N. Cherokee, Dothan.  Thanks be to God!

We are so thankful for our fellow Christians at First Presbyterian, who made our start possible, in their chapel. We're expectant as we enter the next phase in our congregation's journey, learning to trust in God's provision,  and thankful for the generous hospitality of our fellow believers at First Christian.  They have opened their arms and their building to us, and we are so grateful.

So come and see: Same time, new place!

But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. John 4:23

Welcome to Grace!

Something ancient, something new, something tried, something true

We are a new church in the Dothan area, experiencing and sharing God's grace as we strive to live in a way that gives Him glory. We come from a variety of backgrounds - Baptist, Roman Catholic. Methodist, Episcopalian - but we share a common vision: to see God worshiped and His Good News shared in a "river of Life" that combines three great streams of historic Christianity: Scripture, Sacrament, and Spirit - all of them pointing toward Jesus Christ as LORD.

Our worship, teaching and preaching are firmly rooted in Scripture - God's Word, the Bible. Because ALL Scripture is God breathed (2 Tim 3:16), it is authoritative, trustworthy and life-giving, and points to Jesus Christ. (John 5:39) [Go to our "Sermons" page to download and share messages from God's Word.]

In Scripture we see God using outward, visible signs to point to inner, invisible workings of His grace - Sacraments - which, for those that have a genuine faith, celebrate the reality of God's salvation. So we celebrate Baptism and the Lord's Supper as powerful and transforming events which act out the story of salvation through Jesus Christ. (Gal 3:27, 1 Cor 11:26)

God's Spirit is not dead, and our churches need Him: to be born again, to pray, to grow as Christians, to assure us of our salvation, to equip us for ministry. We expect God's Spirit to be true to the Scriptures he breathed out. And we know that his Holy Spirit will always point to Jesus. (John 15:26)

We worship in the Anglican tradition, so our services include both praise songs and traditional hymns, Bible readings, powerful preaching and teaching focused on Christ, prayers, and frequent celebration of the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion), all designed to form and encourage disciples (followers) of Jesus Christ as Lord (Leader) of life.

Come experience a fellowship of Christ's followers who have been saved by, and want to share with all, God's "Amazing Grace.*

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
the hour I first believed.

The Lord has promised good to me:
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures."

*The words of "Amazing Grace" were written by an Anglican pastor, John Newton.

WHEN

WORSHIP

We meet to worship Sunday evenings at 5 PM at First Christian Church of Dothan, located at 1401 North Cherokee Avenue.  Our worship includes music, bible readings, a sermon, and a celebration of Holy Communion each week. During the service all elementary school age children are invited up for a children's moment, then leave before the sermon for Children's Church.

BIBLE STUDY

We meet for group Bible study Monday nights at First Christian Church in the Fellowship Hall from 6:15 to 7:30 PM.

We have journeyed through the first book of the Bible, Genesis, as we grew from a church plant to an established church.

We have recently finished Exodus, looking at how God rescues and changes people from slaves to their "masters" into a new neighborhood of people loving Him and each other.

To hear past Bible studies, go to the "Bible Study" tab.

We're currently in the book of John, which started January 14th.   Our format is called "Jesus 'n Java."
