Leadership
Grace City believes in the shared leadership of the local church. While Christ is the head of the church, He entrusts men and women to care for the church and provide leadership to fulfill its mission. The plurality of leadership helps our church to practice wisdom and humility while following Christ’s direction for His church.
Our elder team provides the long-term vision for our church and protects its mission and direction. Our staff leads the day to day ministries of the church.
