To Raise up Generations of Families that are Built to Last
Welcome to the Grace Church website!
Welcome to our website.
Our desire is to make this site friendlier and more accesible. Whether you are a regular attendee, a member of our online community, or simply just checking us out, we hope you enjoy your stay with us.
You may be wondering, "What defines the heart and soul of Grace Church?"
We recognized several years ago that the family may be the key to reviving the soul of America. It has the potential to redeem our national and global cultures that are unraveling before our eyes. We live in an age similar to that of the Old Testament "judges" when, due to the lack of a firm spiritual and moral foundation, everyone simply did what seemed right to them. That's a rather shaky basis for a culture. It also corresponds to the definition of anarchy - a state of disorder that results from the absence of legitimate authority.
Central to the disintegration of our culture is the breakdown of the family unit. We Christians are often quick to criticize government for it's failings. But government is generally a reflection of the culture we have constructed. Grace's vision is to address our cultural deficiencies by raising up generations of families that are built to last. The pursuit of that vision requires us to address several areas in which the Church has abdicated its leadership and influence.
It begins with a strong spiritual foundation. Grace is committed to the systematic, accurate, and consistent exposition of God's infallible Word, the Bible. Our teaching team does include topical messages dealing with "hot topics," but our main diet of truth comes straight from the Scriptures.
We build on that foundation by addressing six key "pillars" that are relevant to our national culture. Those pillars are: Financial Wisdom; Durable Marriages; Sexual Purity; Effective Parenting; Divorce Recovery (an important issue in a culture where divorce is rampant); and Loving Our Neighbors (in practical and observable ways). We certainly haven't "arrived" in our practice of any of those pillars, but we have clearly identified them as strategic priorities, and we are committed to providing solutions in each of these strategic areas.
The ultimate goal - to "Go Global" with this vision. That means that Grace is now working to "export" this ministry concept to specific nations and cultures around the world. This requires a commitment to align our "missions" program with our stated local vision. It's in process, and we're making progress.
The goal is nothing short of a "spiritual master plan" to stabilize and revive American and global culture with the powerful and eternally relevant message of Jesus Christ, our crucified, risen, and coming King. I invite you to join us in this great endeavor.

We invite you to come out and discover that our church really is a place where loving grace overflows. Our worship services take place SUNDAYS @ 8:15 A.M | 9:45 A.M | or 11:15 AM. The dress is casual. The music is decidedly not your Grandma's music. The teaching is challenging and designed to apply the truths of the Bible to your life.
We appreciate your visit to our website, and hope you'll drop by Grace in person to check us out this weekend.
