More information: “Since 1960, Grace has only had three senior pastors. One served for 30 years, one served for 23 years and the current pastor has been serving as senior pastor for nine years (also as associate pastor for seven years prior). God has been very good to us,” the church said. “Grace desires to be a useful resource and home for the Monroe community. We do exist as a church to proclaim God’s grace through faith and love to all. We preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified. But we also love to open our doors to the community to be a resource for things like election precinct hosting, A.A. meeting hosting and community fellowship events.”
A different church will be featured each Friday in the Church Profile feature on the Faith page.
