Remember to wear a Grace Lutheran Church t-shirt!  It can be the current "Grow in Grace" t-shirt or something vintage! It will be fun to see the different designs from over the years.

Grace was planted in this community in response to God's call and a deep desire to share God's love in Christ Jesus with this community! Worshipping together, having fun with each other, and enjoying food and fellowship is an important part of who we are as we "Grow in Grace." Please plan to attend and celebrate Grace Lutheran’s 25 years! We hope to see you there!

    Submit Your Photos

    We need your photos! We need your help telling the story of Grace with photos. Please fill out this form for every photo you submit and answer the questions that you can. We do ask that one person not submit more than five photos. Please contact Lori Tabbert at tabrph@yahoo.com if you have any questions.
