In the last 3 years, Grace has grown 25% in the worship center alone. We baptize new believers and launch missional communities more often than ever before. Grace Student Ministry has doubled; as many as 150 students participate on Wednesday nights. At times, we host as many children in Grace K!DS as our OJ campus, which is built to serve twice as many people.

You may have felt it in the church too. If you’ve ever struggled to find a seat or watched the cars back up down the road on a Wednesday night, you’ve experienced the growth.

Phase 1: Next Gen Addition We will add over 10,000 sq. feet of large and small group space to accommodate current and future growth in Grace Kids, Joy, GSM, and the EEC. This includes an outdoor sport court and play areas. We see this space being used for discipleship training for all ages until we complete phase 2. Phase 2: Expanded Worship Center & Sending Center We will upgrade and expand the current worship center to serve 600 people in one service. We will build dedicated space to accommodate adult discipleship training classes and gathering space for the purpose of equipping, encouraging, and sending out disciples to make disciples for the glory of God.
