Who we are
An ordinary congregation trying to be a good neighbor
Grace Harbor was planted in 1967 in a school cafeteria and moved into the Roswell Road building in 1974. About four hundred people attend on a typical Sunday across two services. Our staff is small, the volunteers do most of the work, and the annual budget is presented to the congregation every January.
•All children's and youth volunteers background checked and trained yearly
•Annual budget and financial report presented openly to the congregation
•Fifteen percent of every offering goes back out to local partner organizations
Reviews
From people who found a seat here
“I had not been to a church in twenty years and honestly dreaded walking in. Someone showed me where coffee was, nobody asked me to fill anything out, and I came back the next week.”
Michael B., Attending since 2023
“Our small group brought meals for six weeks after my surgery. That is not a program, that is just what they did.”
Ruth E., Small group member
“The youth group is the one place my son will actually talk about hard things. The leaders take them seriously.”
Angela F., Parent, Dunwoody
FAQ
If you are thinking about visiting
What should I wear and what happens when I arrive?
Jeans are common at both services and a jacket is common at neither. Park in the main lot off Roswell Road, come in the glass doors and someone at the welcome table will point you to coffee, the sanctuary and children's check in. You will not be asked to stand up or introduce yourself.
What do you do with children during the service?
Infants through fifth grade have age grouped classrooms with a secure check in system that prints matching tags for you and your child. You are welcome to keep children with you in the service instead, and there is a comfortable room with audio at the back if you would rather step out.
How long is the service?
Both services run about seventy minutes, ending at 10:10 and 12:10. There is coffee and conversation in the lobby afterward, and nobody minds if you slip out during the last song. The 9am service tends to draw a smaller crowd if a full room feels like a lot on a first visit.
Can I use the pantry or request a wedding if I do not attend here?
Yes to both. The food pantry is open to anyone in the area on Tuesday and Saturday mornings with no membership requirement. Weddings and memorials for people outside the congregation are booked through the office subject to calendar availability, and a pastor will meet with you beforehand.
