Grace of Calvary (GOC) Lutheran Church welcomes all people with a “Risen Christ” window showing Christ’s abounding love. People who come immediately experience a very loving, warm group of serving, caring people.

 

We cordially invite you to worship God with us and celebrate the New Life God gives us in the raising of Jesus Christ, our Lord from the dead.

 

Children are an integral part of our worship service.  Worship activities and Bible-story-based children sermons are given for children aged 3 thru 8th grade at all services.  A Parents’ Cry Room, with sound, is available adjoining the sanctuary.
