Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church
Strategic Planning 2021-2022
Our congregation is currently engaged in a process of study, listening, and discernment as we plan for the next 3-5 years of ministry here. Join us in prayer on this journey: Gracious God, as we engage in strategic planning, guide us in discerning your will for this congregation, that we might continue to be your hands in the world. Amen.
