Spiritual growth is a challenging topic and, for some, an elusive reality.

The exposition of Galatians in October revealed to us three significant principles to aid us in our pursuit of holiness as we draw close to God and worship Him:

          1) The external influences that hinder our Spiritual Growth (Galatians 5:7-12).

          2) The internal influences that hinder our Spiritual Growth (Galatians 5:13-15).

          3) The necessary steps of Spiritual Growth (Galatians 5:16-18).

As you consider the evidence of your relationship with God, I encourage you to encompass those thoughts in prayer. Our Father in heaven has already shown us how much He loves us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Chart your course, find your hope, and base your trust on the love of God. Pray to Him. Consume His word found on the pages of the Bible. Find encouragement among His people in the fellowship of the church.

May the Lord bless you as you seek Him in all things.

The recent launch of our church's brand new Youth Group ministry has been successful in bringing in students and leaders, to grow a good community for those youth students to grow in their love for the church. 

Studying the Gospel of John

We have begun a thorough study of the Gospel of John in order to highlight the magnificence of Jesus the Son of God.

Alongside that lively study, we are challenging students to be evangelists in their own lives, as well as to be disciples in the study of God's word.

We also have enjoyed some small but intense tag football games!

6th - 12th Grade Students are Welcome

Please be in prayer for our students and leaders as we seek to reach out to the lost students of our area.

And if you know of any youth students who would enjoy some community, invite them along, Sundays 5pm-7pm!

We had a great time celebrating Reformation Day with all sorts of educational activities, food, music, and fun. Adults and children alike learned about our rich heritage as Christians and about the sacrifice made by those who came before us to preserve Scripture and Biblical Theology. 

Children's Church this month

What Makes People Special?

People are special because we are made in God's image, as male and female, to know Him.

This month we will learn about Jonah, Nahum, and about God's people being taken into captivity by the Babylonians. 

Looking Forward to Christmas Eve

In November, the Grace Kids ministry will be organizing our seasonal Children's Choir who will perform in the Christmas Eve service. 

The Children's Choir is open to ages Preschool - 5th grace and will meet for practice every Sunday evening at 5pm.

If you are interested in participating or have additional questions, please contact Christie in person on Sunday or by email at, Christie@GraceMaricopa.org.

As the temperatures drop and the seasons change we find new opportunity to Praise & Worship God.

Every Sunday we have the immense privilege of coming together with fellow saints to worship the living God.

We do not worship God through the service of human priests, nor with a veil keeping us outside His holy presence. We gather together in the Grace of God to lift our voices as one Church to the King of Glory, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Please continue to pray for our volunteer worship leaders, our musicians, and our AV team, that we would all strive for excellence to glorify God.

Our church planter in Oklahoma, Pastor Nathaniel Jolly, has been hard at work preaching the Gospel in Harrah. He has recently completed a sermon series over Ephesians and has been leading the saints at Providence through a mid-week study over the allegory of Pilgrim's Progress.

As the Scripture promises, the faithfully preached word has not returned void (Isaiah 55:11). The Lord has been steadily adding to His church at Providence, including a young 16 year-old who was attending a seeker-sensitive church. This young man was surprised to hear a church that preached from the Scripture and "took it seriously."  This young man has been baptized and now gathers together with the saints at Providence under the faithful teaching of Pastor Jolly.

I plan to visit Pastor Jolly and Providence Bible Church in January of 2026 to worship with them and encourage them in their minisitry.

Please continue to pray for Pastor Jolly and Providence Bible Church as they faithfully serve our Lord.

Our Deacon Ministry has been hard at work around the campus over the last month making repairs and improvements.

One of the more noticeable changes is the outdoor speaker system. Each Sunday, the music and sermon will be broadcast to the speakers outside as well as inside.

Make sure you let our Deacon Team know how thankful we are for their service to our church.

The Engineering diagrams for the construction of our new worship building have been submitted to the City of Maricopa for approval.

Please continue to pray that God will guide us to hire a construction company and contractors for this project.

Pastor Dan is developing a workbook that will supplement the 5 part sermon series on Biblical Marriage.

Please pray for him as he works on this project.
