Greeting From Our Pastors |

As our vision statement proclaims, "We are a community of faith that seeks to reflect the light of Jesus Christ…" Such light, while symbolically shining from our church tower, is best represented in the lives of many who live and serve here. As we celebrate God's presence in worship, grow in faith through studying the Bible, support and care for one another in love, and reach out to others in need, we reflect God's gracious love and light. We are grateful for and excited about all that God is doing here and hope that you might likewise sense the wonders of God's presence and become a part of the Grace community. We stand ready to assist you in making this your church home.
Thank you for your interest in Grace Church, and may God bless you.
Grace and peace,
Pastors Rudy Tucker Jr. & Meredith McNabb
