Anticipated Questions
When are the service times?
Sundays at 10:00am at the Lowe's YMCA in Mooresville, NC (170 Joe Knox Avenue).
What's the music like?
Contemporary. We are a small church plant. For this reason, we currently do not have a worship band. However, it is our prayer and desire to develop and grow this ministry. Our highest priority at this point is the faithful proclamation of God's Word and we believe the worship ministry will grow from a body of believers who prioritize God's Word. We are currently using worship tracks that are led by various volunteers in our church. This will change as our church grows and this ministry is more fully developed.
What's the preaching like?
Expositional. Pastor Chris is a verse-by-verse expositional preacher with a conservative and high view of Scripture. Our pastor's desire is to preach messages that present the inspired Word of God with such faithfulness and sensitivity that God's voice will be heard and His people obey Him. We believe the preaching of God's Word should promote life-change that produces Christ-likeness.

How should I dress?
Comfortable. Most people dress casually, but wear whatever makes you feel more comfortable. Dress up or dress down. We're just glad you're here!
Where do I go when I arrive?
Main or Side Door Entrances. You can enter through the main entrance or the side entrance by the parking lot of the Lowe's YMCA. Look for the Grace Point directional A-frame signs at each entrance.
How long is the worship service?
Our Sunday morning worship services last about 60 to 75 minutes. During that time, you will experience engaging worship music coupled with biblical teaching designed to move you toward a lifelong walk of application and response.
How do I get connected and build relationships?
We believe the best way to get connected and build relationships at Grace Point is through serving and community. To learn more about serving opportunities, visit our "GET INVOLVED" page. To learn more about community life, visit our "SMALL GROUPS" page.

What are the core beliefs of Grace Point?
Grace Point Church affirms the 2000 Baptist Faith & Message.
- The Scriptures: We believe the Bible is God’s word to all people. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source for truth, for Christian beliefs, and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
- God: We believe God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all humanity by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make mankind aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.
- Humanity: We believe humanity is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. He is the supreme object of God’s creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by disobedience toward God called “sin,” which separates us from God.
- Salvation: We believe salvation is a gift from God to humanity. Mankind can never make up for their sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can a person be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into their life by faith.
- Eternity: We believe people were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.
- Baptism: We believe baptism is by immersion and it symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. It is a public declaration that a person has accepted Jesus Christ as personal Savior. Baptism does not save you; but shows the world that you have already been saved. While baptism is not required for salvation, it is a biblical command and demonstrates your love and obedience to Christ.
- Lord’s Supper: We believe communion is an ordinance given to all believers by Jesus Christ to remember His sacrifice for us and to symbolize the new covenant. The elements of bread and juice are symbols of Christ’s broken body and shed blood. Communion is not a means of salvation, rather it is a testament of a believer’s faith in the atoning work of the cross.
What is available for my children during the Worship Service?
As a new church plant, we are still developing the leadership of our Kids Point and Student Point Ministries. Perhaps God is calling you to serve on the leadership team to develop these ministries!
We have a volunteer team of adults who lead age appropriate lessons each week for preschool and elementary age children.
