Who We Are
 Grace Church is an evangelical, charismatic church. We enjoy being together and we enjoy the presence of God. We are a regional church with a variety of backgrounds from 16 area towns and villages. Grace Church is located in New Glarus, Wisconsin — “America’s Little Switzerland” - about 20 minutes south of Madison. We like contemporary worship, study of God’s Word, coffee, potlucks and fellowship!
Being connected to a community of believers affords the greatest opportunities for spiritual development. We know that God is deeply interested in every area of life: work, worship, rest and play. We believe that healthy relationships touching all these areas make a healthy church, enabling us to meet the challenges of our own lives and our culture. Grace Church is affiliated with the Fellowship of Christian Assemblies (FCA) and the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE). Our Vision
 Our vision is to impact individual lives and families in New Glarus and the surrounding area with the life-changing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Partnering with other life-giving churches to serve people, we foresee vibrant communities of believers who honor God and impact their world.
Our Values
- We value the Bible as the infallible Word of God and as the primary source for determining doctrine and how to live the Christian life.
- We value prayer as vital, effective and real communion with God.
- We value the spiritual gifts God has given, enabling us to fulfill The Great Com
 mission of sharing the Gospel throughout the world. - We value walking out this spiritual journey together through healthy relationships which provide for fellowship, encouragement and discipleship.
- We value the unity of believers and honor other life-giving churches and individuals who love God.
- We value the peace and joy available to all believers who pursue God and His plans.
- We value being culturally relevant as a church while remaining committed to sound doctrine.
History
In 1992, a small group of believers began regular meetings in search of a fuller, Spirit-led Christian life. After several months, Pastor Roger Olsen was asked to help pastor and establish the church. His commitment was for 6 months only, but the Lord had other plans and the church began to grow under Roger’s leadership. Over the years, four part-time staff and a full-time youth pastor have joined the pastoral team, each one contributing in their areas of gifting. Sunday worship celebrations have now grown to 200 adults and children. What to Expect
 On a Sunday morning you will be welcomed as you enter the front door into our coffee house-foyer. It is likely to be a little noisy with the sounds of music and friends sharing a cup of coffee and baked goods. Help yourself!
Grace provides many opportunities for spiritual growth and social interaction for all ages through topic-oriented small groups; the International School of Ministry; Sunday Christian Education Hour and dynamic teen and children’s ministries. Many ministry opportunities are available at Grace including Youth and Worship Team ministries. You will be surprised at the size of the 200-seat sanctuary, large custom-built Children’s Church area, nurseries and other special rooms for various ages. The worship music at Grace is contemporary and the service itself is informal and very comfortable. When you visit, you will enjoy the Lord’s Presence, His Word and His people. We are very excited about the future of Grace Church. Come grow with us!
