Grace Staff

Grace Church is staffed by enthusiastic and dedicated followers of Christ! Each of our team members has answered the call to glorify God through their ministry at Grace Church. Not only has the Lord equipped these Gracers to lead our ministry, but He has also empowered them to equip the Grace Church congregation in serving these ministries as well!

Sunday Team Leaders

Our Sunday Teams help make worship happen. They serve on Sundays to prepare, welcome, and lead us in worship. They work behind the scenes and up in front. Most team members serve about once-a-month, and we literally could not do worship without them. Sunday Teams are a great way to get to know people and an even better way to live our your Faith.
