There have been some major changes made to our website.

  • Electronic Message Boards (“blogs”) have been set up for three areas: Church events (contact Carolyn Adamson), Youth announcements (Contact Pastor Rygh) and Grace Christian School postings (Contact Bryan Kemen). You can get information to these people by using the “Contact Us” tab at the top of the home page, which will send an email, or a phone call will work, as well.

  • This is a quick way to get information posted…i.e. cancellations, reports or announcements of gatherings or meetings.
