5 /5 steven s: Local here. If youre looking for a church, please pray over Grace Southwood before reading my review. Trust where God may be leading you-which may not be to this location.
This is where my wife and I attend church. It is a Non-denomination, biblical teaching focused, Gospel spreading fueled, giving-driven Christian Church. Ive attended Grace since 2012. Ive attended a few other churches in town since moving here for school in 2005 and I can say BCS has a great assortment of Kingdom-focused churches to call home. One of the big reasons Ive stayed at Grace is because they are a college and international student friendly church.
Im a big fan in the way Grace does church - they keep away from becoming a big mega-church site or celebrity-pastor lead body and instead pray when the church is full to start another church in the area. The advantage is, despite the busyness on Sunday, you get the feel of a more intimate church. This is the second campus in the Grace Network in the BCS area. The preaching is biblically focused, heavily logos in rhetoric, and often presented in a min-series format. It is not uncommon to have the pastors in the Grace network rotate out with each other for a 4 week mini series, which provides a nice change of pace from the Status Quo.
The church is contemporary in music and setting. One personal aspect I love about the Staff is how open and vulnerable they are willing to be. Like any church, I would recommend attending a few times and making a concerted effort to get plugged in with a Sunday School class or Homegroup before making a decision on staying or not.
