What do a foyer, living room and kitchen have to do with church?

We have a dream…to see hundreds and thousands of spiritually restless people discover that becoming a follower of Jesus Christ is transformational. GRACE Church seeks to do this by creating a series of environments where people can belong and become all that God created them to be.

Foyer
	(foi er, foi ya ) n. an entry.  It s the place in your home that serves as the welcome area for guests and new friends. It s the first step, and it s often your only chance to make your guests feel comfortable enough to return. That s exactly how we ve designed our entry environments at GRACE Church. Our Sunday morning worship services are  foyer environments. We want our guests to come back, so we do everything with them in mind.
Living Room
	(liv ing room) n. a room in a home, with sofas, chairs, etc., used for social activities, entertaining guests, etc. When guests arrive and are welcomed into your home, you invite them into the livingroom. Everyone finds a comfortable place to sit, and the interaction begins. At GRACE Church, this is where you connect with people like yourself. Smaller and more interactive than the foyer environment, these gatherings offer genuine opportunity to begin friendships.
Kitchen
	(kich en) n. a room or place for the preparation and cooking of food. What is the most popular room in your home? The kitchen. This is where lasting friendships are made. And that s the kind of environment we are striving for in our small groups. Small groups are where people meet regularly for Bible study and prayer, and commit to accountability, friendship and support. They are the safe place to open your heart, share your life, and ask the tough questions.
