“A place for spiritual peace, healing, and loving connection to all.”
Adapted at the Administrative Meeting, September 27, 2020.
1. We are a family.
Since its beginning, Grace has been a family-like church in which those who have immigrated, moved, or relocated to the Tri-Valley area found a home as well as the love of Christ. No one is left out at Grace. Everyone is welcome and loved. This is who we are.
2. We are servants.
Facing the changes in demographics in the Tri-Valley area, Grace is reaching out to the community through the gifts and graces God provides, such as concerts, quilts, and public lectures. Our Joyful Noise Preschool Center completed 27 years of faithful service to the community in 2014. Even with new changes, we are here to serve you. This is what we do.
