City of Grace

Love Our Church Home! My family and I feel so welcomed every time we step onto this campus! The worship team is so energetic. So many opportunities to get connected in the church family. There is a place and space for every kind of person! I especially love our moms group MOTC!

My church and I love it.

I grew up at Word of Grace (now City of Grace). Way before the new buildings and it just the small little church. I love Pastor Gary. I would give him 5 stars. We moved but I had always considered this my home church. When we moved back to AZ I started again and was really disappointed with the young adults ministry and praise and worship. I left when I wasn’t getting anything out of it and not much longer did they join with City Church. I think they are struggling but I have hope for them. Pastor Terry is the new head pastor and he has the Joel Osteen vibe, which isn’t for me, but he is very nice.
They are non– denominational and love their congregation enough to handle sins or situations other churches don’t want to touch in fear of being labeled as ‘haters’ or what not. I hope that anyone who attends will understand their views do not come from hate. It makes me sad that the other reviewer had such a negative experience and I don’t doubt that she wasn’t treated with kindess as every church seems to have those rude people. I am not sure what she means by ‘closed-​minded’ but I know there are people like that at every church. I hope others do not have that experience and I hope the church can work on that as a whole. people need to feel welcome and accepted as they are.
They are also awesome with the community– homeless outreaches, drug addiction help, and so many things I cannot begin to list. If you ever want to help your community City of Grace would be a great place to get ideas of where/​how you can help.
If pastor Terry isn’t for you I would recommend Cornerstone Chandler (my home church) or Central Christian. They are not closed-​minded but they also won’t ignore sins that are major issues. IE divorce, porn, sex, sexuality, infedility, etc. Good luck on finding your home church!
