… and open another!
It was three years ago TODAY that we launched Grace Hills Church and had our first public worship service in the Malco movie theater next to Belk. Since then…
- Dozens have found new life in Jesus.
- Dozens more have gone “all in” through baptism.
- Many more have re-engaged with God.
- Several marriages didn’t wind up ending.
- Broken people have found healing from hurts, habits, and hang-ups.
- A daughter church is beginning in Siloam Springs.
- Two missionary families have been sent to Papua New Guinea.
- Volunteers have served hundreds of hours in the community.
- A bunch of kids have coats this winter.
- And plenty more!
So we celebrate three years of God’s faithfulness, but we’ve always been a forward-focused church, so while we’re going to have a great time this coming Sunday, we’re also saying “goodbye” to our theater and making a big, bold move to the Pinnacle Hills Malco starting with our big Premiere Sunday, January 25!!
THIS WEEKEND’S MESSAGE
We’re in the middle of our BOLD series and this weekend I’m sharing four of the biggest lessons we can possibly learn about taking risks and growing our faith! So it’s a good weekend to show up with your doubts and fears, and your friends!
Also, check out the video I made this week.
NEWCOMERS LUNCH
This Sunday, we’ll host our final Newcomers Lunch at Dink’s BBQ at 12:30. If you’re new to Grace Hills or are interested in going “all in” as a member, join us! Lunch is on us and we’ll share the story, the vision, and the values of Grace Hills. If you can’t make it to lunch, you can also watch and join online.
THE BIG PREMIERE SUNDAY
We’re gathering steam toward our big launch Sunday at the Pinnacle Hills Malco on January 25. We’re going back to ONE service at 9:45 because of our extra space. This is one of the best opportunities we’ve ever had to bring others to church in the theater. So here’s my challenge:
- Pray!! Pray for God to give us favor with people in Northwest Arkansas who need to discover or re-discover Jesus and his church.
- Invite! Spread the word. One way to do that is to hand out the little invite cards we’ll have available this coming weekend. Another is to go right here, right now, and “Invite” others to join you for the Premiere Sunday and share the event to your timeline.
- Join the Crew. Every weekend, a lot happens behind-the-scenes at Grace Hills, from setting up to tearing down, welcoming and guiding guests, changing diapers and corralling kids. Hit Reply and let us know what you’d like to try out!
I’ll see you this weekend at the theater (the one by Belk, one last time…).

LADIES, JON US FOR THE IF:GATHERING
IF:GRACEHILLS is a weekend retreat where we will gather, worship, and connect. We will wrestle with the question, IF God is real… THEN what? Through worship, teaching, and testimony, we will prayerfully discover how to live out the calling God has placed on our lives.
We will gather at 1:00 pm on Friday, February 6 and the retreat will close after we have Sunday morning worship together on Sunday. All meals are provided. We will be staying at a beautiful home on Grand Lake (in Oklahoma). Address will be provided with your registration packet, which you will receive after you register. For more information about the IF:Gathering go to www.ifgathering.com. Any questions, contact Angie Cox at angie@gracehillschurch.com. REGISTER HERE!
