Join us on August 16 for our annual BBQ competition and potluck at Bready Park! It will be a time of good food and easy conversation.

RSVP here.

Join us for our August Family Meal potluck.

We will be primarily spending time presenting the proposed budget and answering related questions.

Let us know you will be there by signing up here.

Our Upper Elementary students (4th & 5th grade) have the opportunity to step out of their regular classroom and serve alongside our ministry teams on the 5th Sunday in August.

If your child is interested in participating, please sign them up here.

Note: There will be no Upper Elementary class on Sunday, August 30, but all other Journey Kids classrooms will be open as usual.

Men have gathered around sporting events for generations, largely because staring directly at another man and saying, "Tell me about your hopes, fears, and emotional wounds," remains deeply unsettling. Instead, we invented football. A sporting event provides the perfect environment for male friendship. You can sit shoulder-to-shoulder without making excessive eye contact. You can ask, "How's life?" and then immediately say, "they should run the ball here!" if things get too vulnerable. For many of us, it's the closest to therapy we will get. So join the men of Grace Hill for our NFL Watch Party as the Detroit Lions take on the Buffalo Bills in what experts are calling the best game of the week and what your wives call, "that's tonight?!? You didn't mention that before..."

Food Theme: Wing Night. Bring wings to share. Traditional wings. Boneless wings. Smoked wings. Grilled wings. Buffalo wings. Garlic parmesan wings. Korean wings. Dry rub wings. We are not here to settle the theological debate over whether boneless wings are actually wings. We are here to celebrate the fact that someone had the courage to deep fry a bird, cover it in sauce, dip it in white sauce, and say, "it was very good." Whether you're a lifelong football fanatic, a casual fan, or someone who only watches for snacks, come hang out with other men pursuing faith, friendship, and the increasingly difficult task of staying awake past halftime.

RSPV here.

Join the women of Grace Hill on Saturday, September 19, from 9am - 5pm for our first women's retreat. We will be meeting at Briar Patch Inn in Middleburg.

Our purpose for the event is to provide dedicated space and time for community and spiritual formation as a group.

We would love for you to join us for the retreat! Registration will close on August 15th. Sign up here.

Plan to join the men of Grace Hill for their third annual retreat.

We'll be heading to Camp Eder, 75 miles from home, deep among the woods, apple orchards, campfires, and the comforting absence of email notifications and Saturday kids sports. The retreat will include Bible study, discipleship, prayer, sports, fishing, games, good food, meaningful conversations, and enough quiet to remember what your own thoughts sound like.

Register here.
