About Grace Lutheran Church

Grace Lutheran has been part of the Round Rock community since 1979. Two large stained glass windows enhance the relaxed, casual setting where youth and adult men and women serve as ushers, acolytes, assisting ministers, and communion assistants.

The entire Worship Service and songs can be found in the church bulletin, available in large print as well as being viewed on the projection screen. A variety of music including flute, violin, guitar, piano and organ accompanies Worship each Sunday.

Children of all ages are welcome in Worship. A children’s bulletin is provided. A staffed Nursery is available for children 3 years old and younger during the Service. Activity bags for young children, containing books, puzzles, crayons & coloring books and small toys are provided for children to use during worship. A Children’s Sermon is part of each Sunday Worship.

Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday. All baptized Christians are welcomed at the Lord’s Communion Table. Children who do not yet receive communion are invited to receive a blessing.

Grace Lutheran Church is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Refreshments are available after Sunday School in the Taylor Educational Center, located behind the Sanctuary building, near the fenced playground. Sunday School meets for all ages from 9:15am to 10:10am on Sunday mornings except during the summer months. Children, ages 3 to high school, have classes in Grace House, located next to the church building. Adult classes are held in the Taylor Educational Center.
