I love my church I have never had a church home just attended church then I decided to go to Grace of Amarillo because I heard pastor Bill on radio and he has a comedic way in his preaching and I'm goofy and get his technique and I can relate and understand very well to his approach also when I first attended I went to prayer group and after pastor Bill sat with me and we talked for almost two hours he understood what was going on with me and I found my forever church for those who had a bad experience I'm sorry for that but we are all human we are not perfect and neither are any churches hope this helps

I have been going to grace church for about a year now and me, my husband and my mother in law love it. They make you feel very welcome and don’t pressure you into anything. If you are looking for a Christian church, this church is the best. They have activity’s for the men, woman, teenagers and kids. You also get a gift as a new comer to the church. They have a book store and free coffee and also allow you to watch church outside of the main room just in case you have loud children or just want to watch it on screen. You can also watch it online which makes it so much better if you can’t make it to church. Come down to grace and check them out. Pastor bill is the senior pastor and he’s so good at explaining the gospel from the Bible. We love it.

Great welcoming atmosphere. No additions or subtraction from the bible. Pastor frequently encourages attendees to verify in the scriptures what he preaches.

We visited Grace several weeks ago for the first time. Got there plenty earlier and sat in the end of a row in the middle. Just before service started, an older lady came up to us and told us we were in her friends seat and asked us to move. Mind you there are plenty of the seats all over the place so we didn’t understand why but instead of causing a scene we just got up and moved. But great to see this is how you welcome to people to your church. Sorry we weren’t in your clique. we won’t be back.

Love this church so much! You don’t actually have to take a picture because all of the info is already on the website. I just wanted to. Lol

Disgusting. Awful and hateful. They have a woman who works in there fronting as “Jewish” when she by far is NOT Jewish. She (the secretary Lauren) by text attacked an Israeli soldier and even took it to the level of having the soldier threatened with “trespass.” From the church, all over a misunderstanding. Clearly this “church” doesn’t handle things Christ like or with any level of respect or integrity. If this is the quality of people employed here and authorized to handle new comers that’s truly unacceptable and frightening. It speaks volumes about the true core of the soul of the church. Rotten. Pick somewhere else.

Learn the Word, verse by verse. I'm from a small town and like this location because I dont like feeling like a number. Pastor Bill and his associates are awesome. I highly recommend this place. Check him out on Radio by Grace, a 24/7 nationwide station on the Word of God from several pastors in the Calvary Church Network and/or try Grace Church Amarillo on YouTube.

Extremely friendly and helpful people. Shortly after entering the church we had a gentleman approach us and introduced himself offering assistance. The music was very nice. Comfortable seating with clear view of the stage even from back row. The sermon was entertaining and well presented. The pastor did keep the atmosphere light and cheerful. I would not have any issue returning or recommending this church.
