Today is the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.  Countless millions of babies have been aborted over these past 37 years–lives of unborn children that were taken in a culture of death.  At Grace, it is our desire to celebrate a culture of life, valuing all live, including those with special needs.  Each life matters [...]

The Gospel

When Jesus asked the question, "Who do you say that I am?" He was asking a question that we all have to answer. As Christians, we have one message to believe and one message to tell--the gospel of Jesus Christ. What God has accomplished for sinners through His Son Jesus Christ in His life, death, and resurrection is not only central to who we are but sufficient for all that we do. If you have never heard of this gospel, we encourage you to consider the two ways to live. In this presentation, you will understand who God is, what He has done, and why it is absolutely necessary for you to turn to Jesus and trust in Him.

When you come to one of our meetings expect to be greeted and welcomed by people just like you.
