I need to know in what order the wedding party goes into the church. We have one flower girl, a ring bearer, two brides maids, one maid of honor, two groomsmen, the bride and groom, one mother, one father(both divorced) two grandmothers, one grandfather. Please tell in which order these people need to be ushered into the church.

I'm going to list the general order for the entrance of the people that you mentioned.  Depending on the arrangement of your church or event center, you can modify some things as you choose.

 
1.  Grandparents of the groom
2.  Grandparents of the bride
3. Parents of the groom
4.  Mother of the bride
5. Officiant and groom and best man and groomsmen if they don't escort the bridesmaids
6. Bridesmaids, beginning with the one who will stand farthest from you
7.  Maid/matron of honor
8. Ring bearer, then flower girl, or they may enter together
9.  Bride and her father
 
You can either have all of the men enter together early in the ceremony and have the bridesmaids and maid of honor walk in alone, or you can have only the officiant and the groom enter, then have the men escort the ladies.
 
You don't mention whether the parents who will be attending are those of the bride or groom or one of each.  If the groom's mother will not be present, then his father would sit in the front pew on the groom's side.  If they are divorced, the mother can sit in the first pew and the dad in the second pew directly behind her unless they are on good terms and are willing to sit together.  The same would apply if it is your parents who are divorced.
 
I hope this helps.  Please write again if you have other questions.
