The Grace Evangelical Church

decided to make new use out of its family life center and many of its

330 members fell-to and brought about the transformation.

Renovations for the new worship

center began the first of June under the supervision of member Jeff Brown,

a local architect. The space now houses a new stage, sound and lighting

equipment, several walls have been put up, carpeting installed, and two

class rooms were created.

Each summer finds many members

traveling in all directions and this past summer found college age students

spending 10 weeks in Brazil in evangelism and outreach work, adults spent

two weeks in Tanzania helping to build a training center, and some of

the church's adults spent two weeks in Turkey ministering to international

children.

Grace Evangelical continues

to support 21 career missions serving throughout the world.

It has expanded its women's

ministry with a mid-week Bible study on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. and this summer

a study called "relief from bondage" was taught.

The church is a nondenominational,

biblically rooted and culturally sensitive church that is moved by a "Great

Commission vision." This vision equips and enables men, women and

children to communicate Christ through significant relationships with

God, one another as believers and with nonbelievers.

It has grown from meeting in

homes in 1973 to meeting at Woodward Academy, Hood Elementary School,

the Tri-City Building and in 1987 purchased land on Flat Creek Trail for

its permanent location.

The congregation is served

pastor, and Andrew Hill has just come on board as youth minister.

Worship services are Sunday

at 9:30 a.m., fellowship time is at 10:45 a.m. and education classes are

at 11 a.m. AWANA for children is Sunday at 4 p.m., along with activities

for the junior youth.

Small care groups meet in homes

throughout the week. Senior high girls meet at the church Tuesdays at

7:30 p.m. and senior high boys meet Wednesdays at the same time.

The church is at 164 Flat Creek

Trail (across from Flat Creek Baptist Church) and can be reached at 770-487-0791.
