About Us
Grace Mennonite Church started in 1956 by a small group of people with a vision of a congregation that was open and welcoming. Coming from a cultural background that was German-speaking their desire to be welcoming meant congregational activities would be in English. Now, 70 years later, we continue to be a church in the Anabaptist tradition that is welcoming of all spiritually seeking people who want to learn what it means to follow Jesus, live out his teaching, and care about our local community and broader world with compassion.
