About Us
Grace is a church where people of all backgrounds and from many different places in their spiritual journey can come and grow. Each Sunday you will find us meeting together to be encouraged in our faith as we spend time participating in heart-felt worship, listening to Christ-centered preaching, and getting involved in ministries that promote healthy relationships with others seeking to live like Jesus.
Our ministry campus is located in the scenic community of Gladstone, Michigan, just north of Escanaba along the shores of Little Bay de Noc in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula. Although we enjoy a small town atmosphere, the Lord seems to be growing Grace into a larger regional church, as we continue to reach out to people from all over Delta County and even to some from other parts of the Upper Peninsula.
We give thanks to the Lord, as he continues to bring new people to Grace that are looking for a church family. We are also excited that so many of us are growing in our faith, as we are learning to apply God's Word to our every day lives. Our hope is that the Lord will continue to work through us to reach out to our community. We believe every one needs to hear the story of God's love through Christ; and we want to take the Good News of Jesus to our friends and neighbors in Delta County and beyond.
So, wherever you are in your spiritual journey, we invite you to come and see what God is doing in our church family. Join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. We also encourage you to check out some of the other ministries that are scheduled through out the week. (see “service information”)
