Community Connections
Each Sunday morning, Grace Church is filled with members and friends coming together to worship the Lord. Our services are always open to all!
But hundreds of others in our community also call Grace Church "home" and fill our halls every week. We are pleased to offer our building and facilities to community organizations whose missions and values align with our Five Marks of Mission.
Scout troops, prayer groups, support groups, musical groups and low-cost summer camps are just a few of our community connections. See the listing below to learn more about some of these organizations. If you are interested in using our facilities for meetings or special events, please contact Shari Bonham, Director of Development and Ministries Coordinator.
Unfortunately, during COVID-9 most of our ministry partners are are not using our facilities at this time. We look forward to the day when our halls are full again and we welcome them back.
