I have found Grace Church to be incredibly welcoming, friendly and supportive due to its strong value placed on community and lovely congregation members, as well as a wonderful place to worship because of their charismatic, spirit led prayer and praise. I would highly recommend visiting Grace if you are seeking a place to connect with God and a church family you can really get stuck in with.

I have been going to Grace Church for a few years now, they are a great team and very welcoming.
The music is kind of upbeat and not typical church music, more in line with the 21st century.
Would recommend Grace Church to anyone who is seeking guidance with Our Lord Jesus.
They do a great deal of work around the city of Nottingham with the homeless and very focused about mental health issues, they have members who are well trained in mental health.
They also offer family support, along with their own food bank, should anyone be in need.
Great place, great team and very welcoming.
I would recommend a visit or you can find them in the City evengilising.

Their minds have crossed the infinite sea and comprehended that which is incomprehensible.

Highly recommend as a group of people who are determined to follow Jesus love to worship and preach the gospel in Nottingham. Vision is well communicated and leadership is strong, accessible and approachable. You'll be sure of a warm welcome!

There is no shortage of passion and love for Jesus in Grace Church. Worship is responsibly administered, with contributions from the congregation being a part of the service in an orderly manner. Departures from this are faithfully managed by worship leaders, elders or mature members of the congregation, and so are vanishingly rare, and are minimal in their length and impact. You will always hear the gospel via contributions during a Grace Church worship service, regardless of any other parts of the meeting.

The band is loud enough to be heard by everyone, but quiet enough that the congregation's singing is definitely not secondary. People are reasonably good at welcoming visitors in the main meeting, but where welcoming and pastoral care really shines is in the small groups. As these are lead by many people with different gifts and competencies, they are fairly different from one another, meaning that a lot of an individual's potential problems with under or over emphasis of certain issues, or their need of expertise in certain issues, can be solved by going to a more suitable small group. Unfortunately, the only way to find this out is through experience, but fortunately, God has a wonderful habit of pointing people to the right small group.

The sermons are usually very evangelistic, making great use of rhetoric and illustrations to hammer home the points made, and as such are very engaging. The typical Grace Church sermon often starts from a bible passage and brings in other supporting scriptures, with vague lack of specificity only rarely being an issue in the more topical, less expository sermons, which are often very inspirational. Regardless of the style, there are always good points well made to take home and meditate on. In small groups, you have the opportunity to discuss the sermon and apply it directly to your own life, and to the lives of others you know. This enables you to get something from every sermon, regardless of how applicable it is, on the surface, to you.

Becoming part of the Church is easy if you are up for actually becoming part of it; we don't cater particularly well to nominal Christians, but when a person wants to serve on a serving teams, get involved in one of many ministries, or faithfully attend and grow together in community with believers, they are quickly welcomed in. Truly helpful pastoral support does require engagement with small groups and willingness to take part in some of the pastoral help offered. If you don't want to be helped, unless God puts someone on your case, you won't be helped just by coming along and not participating. I have experienced God putting people on my case, so don't discount coming along if you just aren't sure what God wants you to be/do; it's quite possible you will find out.

If you are particularly intellectual, finding a suitable small group is hugely important for your growth; you won't find a great deal of intellectual stimulation if you don't go and look for it.

A very welcoming church that works hard to serve the city it is in. The worship is very well lead and always God-focussed, whilst being sensitive to be lead by the Spirit. Preaching is consistently challenging and the gospel is always articulated clearly. The vision of the church is well communicated by the leaders. I would highly recommend Grace Church to anyone in Nottingham looking for a new church or thinking of going for the first time!

Previously I had given this church a one star review as I believed it's lead minister may have been the most spiritually abusive minister in Nottingham. The elders have now (wisely) removed him. Though I'm at a distance it looks like the church is one track to a healthy future and would commend it as potentially a good home church for anyone.
