Grace
Evangelical Free Church (Grace EFC)
began in 1980 as a Bible study in the home of Leonard and Ruth Page. Originally
the group was taught by a Southern Baptist pastor from Fort Dodge, Iowa. As the
group grew, ten families decided to incorporate a church and decided to become
an independent Bible Church. Leonard Page suggested the name Grace Bible Church. The new
church met in homes, the middle and both elementary schools, various halls and
finally rented the Memorial Hall on a long term basis. In 1989 we joined the
Evangelical Free Church as Grace EFC. In 1995 our present building was
constructed and our 75 members moved in. 2006 saw the construction of a major
new addition adding a 300+ seat sanctuary and friendship foyer. God has
grown the Grace family from a handful of believers gathered in a living room for
prayer and encouragement to a regular Sunday attendance of nearly 200. Today,
Grace EFC continues to glorify God with Christ centered Bible preaching and
Blended Contemporary Worship, Grace Groups (small group ministry), Men's and
Women's Bible Studies, Discipleship groups and Youth ministries including Sunday
Children's Church, GraceKIDS, and Junior and Senior High youth groups. The
church is currently served by 2 full time pastors, and part time director of
Hispanic Outreach, a part time secretary and a custodian.
