A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR
I am so glad that you have taken the time to visit our website!
We look forward to a great 2023 together as a church family. Our worship service is at 10:15 am. Throughout this year we are studying the letter to the Ephesians. It has been such an encouragement to read how different life is when we live our lives “In Christ” as Paul describes it in this letter. Every week after our service we provide refreshments in our Fellowship Hall featuring high quality coffee from local coffee shops and homemade treats made by our church members. We also offer children’s and youth programs along with adult classes at 9:00 am on Sundays. Combine all this, and those joining us leave refreshed in their faith and ready for the week ahead.
We are a mask-friendly community, yet many are now worshipping with us without masking. Face coverings and hand sanitizing stations are located at each entrance. You can click on the livestream link under Watch at the top of this page to join us for Sunday worship at 10:15 am if you are staying away from large group gatherings, but we would love to see you in-person as soon as possible! If you are visiting in person for the first time, park in the large parking area behind the church and enter through the red doors. If you have mobility issues, please feel free to park in the front circle lot. Nursery and Children’s Church are available during the service – just ask where when you arrive.
Our church loves Jesus and loves one another. We also want our community and the world to know about how deeply God loves them! Hope you can join us on a coming Sunday. Let me know if you have any questions at kris@trianglegrace.org.
With Warm Regards,
Pastor Kris Perkins
Senior Pastor

Introducing our Church App!
Exciting News
We are so excited to share our new church application.

You are going to love having this at your finger tips at all times. At a touch of a button, you will see our monthly calendar, directory of covenant partners, weekly e-news, view sermons, get access to our livestream, tithe and donate, submit prayer requests, sign up for activities and join groups. We hope you find Church Center to be a useful tool. Watch the tutorial below to get started today. You will receive an invitation today (check your spam folder as well) from Church Center so that you can access the directory. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Nikki or Karis . We will be available during the Brunch on Sunday as well to answer your questions.
New Member Class
Begins October 5
Want to deepen your relationship with Triangle Grace Church in the coming year? Join us for a 7-week experience as we explore together the fellowship, theology, and ministries of TGC. We will consider what it means to live out a life of faith as a community considering the history of our church, our Presbyterian roots, theological essentials, growth groups, service opportunities, and engagement with the culture around us. Even more, we will grow together in friendship as we share our own faith journeys with one another week to week. Those who would like to become a member (we call them “Covenant Partners”) can do so at the end of More Grace. More Grace will meet on Thursday evenings at 7:00PM at the Perkins' house starting October 5.
You'll be glad you did!
Small group begins soon
If you've always wanted to be part of a small group but have never known how, now's your chance! Pastor Molly will be leading an 8-week opportunity to connect with others as we open scripture together. It will likely be an evening study but please reach out to Pastor Molly if you'd like to join and let her know what times work best for you!
