 Our Story


 
 

Our journey began with a dream—a vision that resonated deeply with friends and neighbors. In the summer of 2019, this pioneering spirit led us to gather in homes, various locations, and eventually, our present home at 6482 Suwanee Dam Road in Sugar Hill, Georgia (Lanier Middle School).

Launching a church plant amid the challenges of a pandemic may have seemed audacious, but the fact that our doors are opening in 2021 stands as a powerful testament to the unwavering, authentic, and trailblazing faith that God has ignited within us.

Through every twist and turn, we have remained steadfast in our belief that God consistently leads the way, guiding us to this very moment. Welcome to our journey—a journey of faith, growth, and an ever-expanding community."

the Grace Family
of Churches

 

Over the last 35 years at Grace, we have discovered that Family is the best way to describe the connection between our churches. We’re not a denomination, network, and we often joke none of our preachers are good enough to pull off video venues. Instead, we raise up local pastors, leaders, and elders within the communities where God has called us.

We follow Jesus’ example to be present in those communities--the neighborhoods, nations, and next generation. And then we work together as a Grace Family of Churches to resource every church plant to flourish, develop next generation leaders of their own, and catalyze Jesus movements among Muslim communities worldwide.
