WHEREAS, Grace Church is known for its compelling Bible studies ministry, vibrant worship services, life-building children and youth departments, and ardent emphasis on personal integrity and community service; and
WHEREAS, members of Grace Church are guided by their beliefs in reaching those who are lost, empowering those who are hurting, assimilating those who are lonely, and leading their generation for Christ; and
WHEREAS, Grace Church has grown over the years to offer more than 50 unique ministries and outreach programs designed to support the members of the community and enhance the quality of life of all Dumfries residents; and
