Who We Are


	Welcome to Grace Presbyterian Church A Church with an Historical Past, an Active Present and Challenging Future

Who We Are

In the past 10 years, Grace Church has grown from an average of 60 people in worship to an average attendance of 123. In the same amount of time, the congregation has grown from 140 members to 253. All of this growth has occurred while the community has been rapidly shrinking due to continued economic problems. While numerical growth is wonderful, the mission and ministry growth is even more exciting. The growth is possible only because of the strong leadership and vibrant congregation that desires to seek and follow Jesus Christ. Come and join us!
