What Is Resurrection Grace?

Resurrection Grace is a United Methodist church community on Florida's Space Coast, formed by the union of First Church of Melbourne and St. Mark's. It describes itself as "one church across beachside and mainland," with two campuses and a stated welcome for people at any stage of faith — its own framing is "belong before you believe." If you are looking for a United Methodist congregation in the Melbourne or Indialantic area, or trying to understand what this particular church offers before visiting, this covers what the site states.

Where it is and how it came together

The church identifies itself as a United Methodist community of faith serving Florida's Space Coast. Its two campuses are in Melbourne and Indialantic.

The two congregations behind it have separate histories:

The site presents the merger as a deliberate choice: "We chose unity to serve our neighbors on the Space Coast." It frames the combined church as rooted in roughly 140 years of faith while "stepping forward together in new life."

What worship looks like

Resurrection Grace lists several ways to participate in worship, which is useful if you are deciding whether the style fits you:

• Classic worship — held in the sanctuaries
• Modern worship — also in the sanctuaries
• Shoreline worship — gatherings at the shore, reflecting St. Mark's beachside heritage
• Online — a live stream of worship, plus a "Watch" option for the latest sermon

The church summarizes this as going "from Classic and Modern worship in our sanctuaries to the shoreline and our live stream online." In other words, you are not limited to one format or one location, and you can sample a service online before attending in person.

Groups, service, and outreach

Beyond weekend worship, the site describes three main areas of involvement:

Community Groups. Small groups, Bible studies, and living-room gatherings. The church's stated reasoning is that "transformation doesn't just happen in rows; it happens in small, accountable circles" — places where "names are known and stories are held sacred."

Ministries and service. The church says service is "how our theology becomes visible in the city," and points to local outreach, including an initiative called The Church Has Left the Building.

Events. An "Upcoming Events" section is part of the site's main navigation, alongside Worship and Watch.

Who it says is welcome

The recurring message across the site is openness. The church calls itself "a safe harbor for honest faith and grace where your questions belong, and your story is held with care," and states plainly that "everyone is welcome." Its invitation is "Belong Before You Believe" — meaning you are not expected to have your beliefs settled before joining the community.

This matters if you are someone with unresolved questions about faith, or if you are returning to church after time away. The stated posture is that doubt and honest questioning are acceptable starting points rather than obstacles.

How to take a next step

The site organizes its entry points around a few clear actions:

• Start Here — the church's main on-ramp for newcomers
• Worship & Locations — for service times and campus details
• Community Groups — to find a small group
• Upcoming Events — to see what is happening soon
• Watch — to view the latest sermon or the live stream

If you are new, watching a sermon online first is a low-commitment way to get a feel for the teaching and worship style before choosing a campus or a service format. From there, "Start Here" and the events list are the natural next steps.
