Living the Christian life isn't always easy and is not the norm. However, God is faithful and always will do what is best for His will and for those who love Him which gives me a peace in this crazy and fallen world.

Darcie &Jonathan's Story
Before Christ, I wouldn't want to hang out with that person today. Something inside me just clicked and I was ready to dive in, And that's when I knew I needed to go His [Jesus'] way. Because everything would be better. Not easy, but better. That's how we get saved is through Jesus.
-JonathanJesus really molded my heart through this process. I wouldn't want to have had to go through what I went through without the hope of knowing it's a temporary pain... It's a hope for the future. Our story has been this stained glass. It's just been broken over and over again and God just put it back together into the most beautiful masterpiece.

Jeffrey's Story
After I accepted Christ into my life, my life has been completely different. I've still struggled, lost and felt defeated, but the drive to do good and be positive and be a good Christian has always put me where I need to be. Once my family and I started attending Grace church, it has put the fire back in me.
