Growing Grace Fellowship

growing GRACE FELLOWSHIP Jesus said, “I will build my church.”

Matthew 16:18

grow with us WHAT

A new 13,000 square-foot, $6 million church in which to share God’s Word, teach His children, and minister to our community.

WHY

Because God calls us to love our neighbors and to share His incredible grace, and we need more space to make that happen.

WHO

All who long for God’s persistent love, His pervasive grace and His unrelenting forgiveness.

WHERE

At 335 McGregor Drive, just one block from our current location.

WHEN

Now! We plan to break ground in the spring of 2025.

Dear Fellow Redeemed in Christ,

We have a joyous problem!

Nearly two years ago, Grace Fellowship was blessed with a substantial financial gift that allowed us to purchase a lot just one block from our current space.

Since that time, we have been meeting, praying and planning for what could be Grace Fellowship’s “forever home,” and now we are excited to share those plans.

In 2008, Grace Fellowship began as an idea of sharing the Good News of Jesus with our down valley neighbors. We quickly moved to worshiping in the gym at Gypsum Elementary School, and a year later, in the auditorium at Eagle Valley High School. We even added a weekly service to minister to those at Castle Peak Senior Life. And now, of course, we find ourselves in our current home in the Santa Fe Furniture building with a joyous problem – the problem of busting at the seams!

In the last chapter of Matthew, God calls us to, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” We want to do exactly what our Lord tells us to do, and with a new church building, we believe we can do just that.

I invite you to prayerfully consider giving to this new mission and capital campaign. The project is ambitious, but it is also exciting and full of hope and assurance of our Lord’s promises. I would be honored to meet and speak with you personally about this project and your potential participation, and my hope and prayer are that we position ourselves to continue to serve our congregation and community, sharing the greatest news of all – that Jesus is Savior!

in His loving grace, Pastor Austin Kraft Grace Fellowship Church

Sanctuary Services Sundays and holidays continue to witness us arranging additional chairs and spilling over our seating into the lobby. Help us grow God’s House to comfortably seat 250 guests at any given service.

“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

Matthew 18:20

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”

1 John 1:7

Fellowship as a word may best define our church body’s personality and the ministries we’re called to embrace.

Help us grow our fellowship opportunities with a full kitchen, and both large and intimate gathering spaces found indoors and out.

CLASSROOMS Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Matthew 19:14

Today we find our teachers and kids gathering almost anywhere but a classroom – in our kitchen, in the furniture store next door, and outdoors when the weather permits. Help us grow our learning environment to include four classrooms, a dedicated nursery, and flex space for our teenagers.

HELP US

GROW

The most exciting leg of Grace Fellowship’s journey is in front of us!

God’s blessings are obvious, His nudges apparent, and His door-opening undeniable.

The phase of designing our new church building has been contemplated and planned for more than two years, and we are ready to further grow our mission to “Proclaim the Good News of Jesus, Nurture faith in Jesus, and Serve our community in the name of Jesus.”

Please join us as we follow God’s lead on this journey, and embark on raising $6 million to build a 13,000 square foot church building all for

His glory.
