What to Expect 

You can expect a casual and friendly experience.  Come as you are, we will love you!  Grace leases most of a shopping center near the beach at Virginia Beach. Our worship center seats 415 people. The service begins with contemporary music, and then there is a short welcome period. The Sunday talks are usually about 30 minutes long. Our Children and Youth ministries are very strong.  If you are a guest, our offering is for our regular attenders; please just enjoy yourself.   

How to Attend

We hope you'll join us for a weekend service to see for yourself what we're about. Through multi-media presentations, contemporary music and practical messages, we present the ageless truths of the Bible in a format that's easy to understand, even if you've never been to church.   When you come, here are some of the things you will do.

 

1. Pick a Service. We offer three identical services at 8:00 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Sunday mornings. We recommend arriving about 10 minutes early to allow time for parking and seating.

 

2. Wear Something Comfortable.   Dress is casual. You will see everything from jeans to business casual. Wear what you are most comfortable wearing in a large group.

 

3. Follow These Directions. Grace is located in the Lynnhaven Beach Square shopping center at 2961 Shore Drive in Virginia Beach, VA. We are about 1.5 miles east of the Lesner Bridge over Lynnhaven Inlet.

 

4. Park. If the church parking lot is full, please park at Lynnhaven Colony Shoppes located next to our shopping center.

 

5. If you have children, drop them off before the service at the B.E.A.C.H., our Children's ministry. The B.E.A.C.H serves children from birth to fifth grade.

 

6. Worship. Go to the Worship Center for the adult service. It's located off our front foyer.

 

 

Where is Grace Strong? We are often asked about our distinctives... First, we are one of several great churches in South Hampton Roads; we don't pretend to have a monopoly on these things. But, we have been blessed with some conspicuous strengths:

  • Grace
  • Authentic Worship
  • Great Teaching
  • Dissatisfaction with Status Quo
  • An Embracing Community
  • Strong Children's and Youth Ministries
