Good Friday
March 29th - 6pm

Schuylkill Haven Area High School

We're a church full of imperfect people with every kind of story imaginable, and we're saving a seat for you.

You are loved here.

It’s our culture. It’s our DNA. It’s just who we are.

At Grace Free Church, you’re going to find people just like you.
People from every walk of life. People from all over the county. People who are going through the same things that you are.

You’ll find a place that is welcoming.
A place where you’re not judged. A place where you are loved for who you are. A place where you can come as you are to experience the incredible love of God.

We are fun and casual, with great music and a biblically-based message that applies to your everyday life. Whether you're exploring your faith or you’re a church regular, there's something for you here!

We can't wait to meet you!

What to Expect

  • Parking Team

    When you arrive look for the folks wearing the yellow vests. They'll help you find great parking, and can even hook you up with a ride on one of our shuttle carts! We anticipate a full house, so we recommend arriving at least thirty minutes prior to the service.

  • First time with us?

    We know that visiting a church for the first time can feel overwhelming and intimidating, so we've got a little something for you to say thanks for checking us out. Just stop by the Welcome Table to grab your free gift!

  • Modern worship music

    We'll begin our service with a few songs, played in a modern worship style by a live band. The words will be on the screen, so feel free to sing along...or if you just want to listen that's ok too!

  • An inspiring message from God's Word

    Next, we'll hear a moving message from the Bible as we reflect upon Jesus' journey to the cross.

  • The Lord's Supper

    We'll also celebrate the Lord's Supper together at this service, but you don't need to be a member of this church or any church to take part. If you place your personal faith in Jesus Christ, we invite you to join us in communion.

  • Wrapping Up

    After the message, we'll sing another song or two together, and that's it! All in all, our service will last about an hour.

Frequently asked questions

I've never been here before. Will I fit in?

Yes you will!

Look, we know that visiting a new church can feel overwhelming and intimidating, but knowing what to expect can help make things better.

When you visit with us you’re going to find people just like you. People from every walk of life. People from all over the county. People who are going through the same things that you are.

And if you're worried about being new here, don’t be! We are a rapidly-growing church, and most of our people are “new here.”

You’ll find a place that is welcoming, a place where you’re not judged, a place where you are loved for who you are, and a place where you can come as you are to experience the incredible love of God.

Will I be singled out?

We hate awkward church moments too. You won't be singled out or made to feel uncomfortable. We want you to be able to enjoy your time with us and experience a meaningful service.

No weird introductions. No “raise your hand if you’re new here” junk. No forced, awkward social interactions. Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, you'll feel comfortable here.

What is the music like?

Our live band plays a variety of modern worship music. Feel free to sing along, or if you just want to listen that's ok too! Check out our GFC Sang on Sundays playlist on Spotify to hear some of the songs we play at Christmastime.

What is the preaching like?

You'll hear messages from the Bible that are inspiring and relevant to your life—things that you can apply right away to make your whole week better! Check out some recent talks on our website.

What should I wear?

We don’t care what you wear as long as you are wearing something, so dress however you feel comfortable.

Seriously, anything goes—from jeans and t-shirts to your Sunday best. Our lead pastor often wears jeans, t-shirts and sneakers (usually loud sneakers) to speak.

What if I haven't been to church in a long time (or ever)?

It's ok, you won't be alone or feel weird. You'll find people with all different kinds of church backgrounds here, and our worship services are easy to follow and don’t require that you have any past church experience.

I grew up Catholic/Lutheran/Baptist/Pentecostsal/... Can I still attend here?

Of course you can! We have people from every denominational background calling our church home. We are for Jesus, and we are for you!

Will I like it here?

Yes...we really think you will! This is a place for everyone—a safe place where you can come with your questions, doubts, fears and struggles—and no matter who you are you are welcome here.

Whether you can't wait to get involved or you're just testing the waters, we have a place for you. We can't wait to meet you!
