Denomination: Evangelical Free Church of America
Grace Church held its first service in September 1991 as a surprising 600+ people assembled to worship together in a warehouse located near 146th Street and U.S. 31. For the first six years of Grace’s existence, rapid growth and limited space were realities that led to the building of the current 146th Street facility in 1997. Along the way, with a laser-focus on the Kingdom of God, we began to consider how we as the church can heal the brokenness of this world. There are six specific broken places that all permeate and run rampant throughout our lives and our world. Amid all of this, we have seen God do some miraculous things at Grace over the course of more than two decades. Ultimately, what we care about most is making disciples of Jesus and launching them into the mission of God. All we do – every ministry offered, each worship experience, any effort we make to reach out to this community and around the world – is rooted in our desire to challenge people to follow closely after Jesus Christ and live a life that reflects the desire He has for his Church to bring healing in this broken world.
