About Our Church

In 2003, God blessed us with our present property on Mouse Creek Road and enabled us to build a facility to house our worship service. We call our sanctuary “The Family Room”. We understand, your family knows all about you but loves you anyway.

Our Mission & Vision

Our vision and mission is to help connect people to faith

Help each person discover their spiritual gifting, identify their passion area of ministry, and then provide an opportunity for them to use their talents and abilities for the building of the Kingdom of God.

A LITTLE LESS ALONE

Grace Community Church exists to extend God’s grace to people. We are here to turn non-Christians into converts, converts into disciples and disciples into mature, fruitful leaders who will in turn, extend God’s grace to others.

Our motto at GCC is: Love God, Love People, Transform the world.

Our emphasis for ministry is: CONNECT:  with others, with God and then, we will transform the world

Our goal is to help each person discover their spiritual gifting, identify their passion area of ministry, and then provide an opportunity for them to use their talents and abilities for the building of the Kingdom of God. Host God and make Him the center of everything we do, and every time we gather – to break bread and enjoy meals prepared by our great cooks, as well as to break the Bread of Life!

Love your neighbor as yourself 

Love God with all your heart, with all your strength

The Family Room 

A family room is a place where folks can come and just be themselves. It’s comfortable. It’s a place where people connect with one another and talk and laugh and sometimes even cry. A family room is a life giving room where love and encouragement are shared.

Wouldn’t it be nice if going to church were like going in to a family room?…
