A small church that intends to stay small

Grace Chapel was founded in 1963 by eighteen families who wanted a church within walking distance of their homes. Six decades later, we're still on the same corner of Willow Street, still small enough that a missing face gets noticed and a phone call follows. We are a congregation of retirees, young families, second-shift workers, and college students, and we have never all agreed on everything — which we've decided is a feature, not a problem.

What we believe

We believe God's grace is a gift, not a wage — which means nobody earns their way into this room and nobody gets kept out for falling short. We take the Bible seriously and read it together, honestly, including the hard parts. We believe worship is meant to send you back out: to your family, your job, your street, with more patience than you came in with. Practically, that means we spend a good share of our budget on the food pantry and the youth program rather than on ourselves. If you have questions about doctrine, denomination, or where we land on a particular issue, ask Pastor Reyes directly. He'd rather talk than have you guess.

Come see for yourself

The best way to know a church is to sit in it once. Services are at 9:00 and 11:00 every Sunday morning.
