Music Ministries

At Grand Avenue we have an astounding choir led by a minister of music who specializes in choral and hand-bell performances. As the Rev. Dr. Isaac often reminds us, sacred music does not exist solely for our enjoyment, but for the worship of God!

Handbells ~ 6:00-6:45pm, Wednesday

Grand Avenue Bells is a talented handbell group bringing the beautiful sound of bells into worship. Historically, the bells from church bell tower were the sign of the presence of God. Grand Avenue Bells plays various arrangements of well-known hymns inviting experience of God’s presence into our place of worship. It is another great opportunity to participate to our music ministries. We prepare eight anthems throughout a year and collaborate with the Chancel Choir for special musical services.

Chancel Choir ~ 7-8:15pm, Wednesday

Our Chancel Choir is a dedicated and faithful musical ensemble who shares the gospel of Christ through their voices, hearts and minds in worship of God. They prepare anthems for worship service on every Sunday morning, special music on Easter, a Christmas musical service such as the Lessons and Carols, and other occasions. It is an exciting and fulfilling opportunity to sing for God while growing in spirituality and fellowship in Christ. The Chancel Choir is an all-volunteer choir and welcomes all who want to sing.

Youth and Children's Ministries

Sunday School ~ 9am-9:45am

  • We meet from 9:00am to 9:45am on the second floor in the Sunday school wing. 
    We also offer classes for Tweens and 7th thru 12th grade youth.
  • Our children’s Sunday school experience is a dynamic, fast-paced, and Bible-centered time designed for children utilizing a one room Sunday school system for 4 year olds to 4th grade.  We start with snacks and Christian songs, have prayer time, a short Bible lesson, and then an activity based on our day’s lesson. 

Wednesday Night Tweens ~ 5pm-6pm

  • We meet 5:00pm to 6:00pm during the school as long as Stuttgart School district is in session.
  • Designed specifically for 4th and 8th grades we have a fun and faithful hour with snacks or a light mean, songs, prayer time, small group, and games.  As our students enter we have food and drinks for them.  After eating we go to our small groups and have a short prayer time and lesson.  We talk about how God loves us and how we can lean on God to get us thru good times and tough times alike.   After small group we have game-time, outside if weather and conditions allow, and dismiss.  Our goal is to form disciples of Jesus by loving our Students as Christ loves us. 

Summer Programs

  • During the summer we want to connect with our Students regularly.  While our Sunday school goes year round at 9:00am, we connect once a month with a game or movie night to keep in touch with all of our students.  We have nights for our various ages groups and  primarily advertise via Facebook for these events.
  • Throughout the year we have various Community Outreach events to serve our community.  Ranging from block parties, swim camps, to Trunk or Treat events we believe in wedding service with fellowship at Grand Avenue!

Discipleship Ministries

Bible Study - 5:30-6:30pm, Tuesdays (Church Library)

We are currently approaching the end of a nearly year-long Bible study which used a book called The Path, which takes the main events, stories, and themes of Scripture into a condensed form. It isn't a summary of Scripture, it is Scripture, just in an abbreviated form. By walking through the Bible from beginning to end, our vision for God's kingdom-making work has been transformed!
Snacks are provided and the study is in a conversational format!
