01
It is finished
Jesus did not come to give us a better self-improvement programme. He came to finish something. The Christian life is not about earning God's favour - it is about living from favour that has already been given.
About
A church for people who want to think, ask hard questions, and encounter grace without religious pressure.
Grace on Sunday started small - a handful of friends in a video call, asking the questions they couldn't ask out loud anywhere else. It has since grown into something worth describing properly.
How it started
It began as a question we couldn't answer.
A few of us had been in church our whole lives and were tired - tired of performing, tired of pretending the questions we had at 3am didn't exist, tired of being told the answer was always to "try harder."
In late 2024 we started meeting on Sundays over Zoom - no programme, no worship band, no sermon. Just the questions we'd been carrying through the week and a Bible open in front of us.
The format we kept coming back to was the oldest one we knew - the one Jesus used. Someone asks a question. Everyone gets to think. The answer is usually shorter and kinder than expected.
We've been meeting every Sunday since.
What we believe
The Gospel, plainly.
Theology in language anyone can follow. If church words have ever felt like a wall, start here.
02
The New Covenant
The old covenant was conditional - bless me if I obey. The new covenant is unconditional - Jesus obeyed in our place. We do not relate to God on the basis of our performance, ever again.
03
No condemnation
For those who are in Christ, the verdict is already in. The shame, the guilt, the "you should know better by now" - these are not the voice of God. They are echoes of an old contract we are no longer under.
04
Rest, not striving
There is a kind of weariness that no amount of effort fixes - only rest. Christ's invitation is not "try harder" but "come to me." We are learning, slowly, what that actually means.
Who can join
Everyone. No prerequisites.
You don't need to call yourself a Christian. You don't need to know the Bible. You don't need to have your life together. You don't need to dress for it, sing along, or say anything at all if you don't want to. There's no membership form, no statement of faith to sign, no class to attend first.
For "spotless boys & girls" there's mainstream church. For everyone else - for delinquents, misfits, sinners, prostitutes, thieves, adulterers, drunks, tax collectors, and everyone in between who knows they fall short and needs a second life - there's Grace on Sunday.

Facilitator
Duane
Duane moderates Sundays - keeping conversations rooted in scripture and pointing toward grace. He's not a pastor, not a performer, not the answer guy. He's a member who happens to be holding the mic that week. Everyone here is a peer.
