GraceHill Church

A Place to Gather, Worship, and Grow

GraceHill’s vision has come to life in a new church home that embodies the warmth, connection, and faith of its growing congregation. Previously meeting in a commercial space, the church now has a facility where worship, fellowship, and ministry can happen under one roof. The church’s layout brings together its core components into a cohesive environment that supports both Sunday services and everyday ministry.

Fellowship at the Center

The Fellowship Hall is the heart of GraceHill, bringing together all areas of the building and reflecting the church’s sense of community. When people arrive, the space is meant to feel open and welcoming to everyone. A coffee bar invites conversation, and the exposed structure and systems give the space a simple, authentic character. The Fellowship Hall is a place where the GraceHill community comes together.

Where the Congregation Comes Together

The Worship Space is the focal point of GraceHill, serving as a defining feature both inside and out. Designed to accommodate 400 people per service with a flexible table-and-chair layout, it provides an open and functional environment. A double-height ceiling and indirect daylighting from the southeast and southwest bring natural light into the space. On the exterior, a cross at the corner of the building is illuminated at night and designed to serve as a deacon as people approach from Harney Street. The building is designed to give a pedestrian-friendly feel, making it approachable to the community. Inside, the Worship Space includes a stage, AV booth, and Cry Room to support worship and community needs.

Spaces That Support Ministry

The Child and Youth Ministry, Multi-Purpose Space, and Office Suite provide functional and flexible areas that support GraceHill’s programs and staff. The Child Ministry is adjacent to the Worship Space, allowing children to move easily between areas during services. It includes a Gathering Space, two flexible classrooms, and a Nursery connected to the Cry Room.

The Youth Ministry is separate from other programs and includes a kitchenette and space for games and activities. These spaces are designed to be available outside of worship times, offering youth a place to hang out.

The Multi-Purpose Space is a large, open area designed for a variety of activities. It lies between the Child and Youth Ministry spaces, providing access to the entire community.

The Office Suite serves as the hub for GraceHill staff and is located near the main entrance. Designed to feel open and welcoming, it includes offices, workstations, a front desk, and conference rooms that maintain visual connection to the Fellowship Hall.
