Growing Into Our Future
Grace launched during COVID and quickly outgrew its current 4,000 sq. ft. building.
After three years of prayer and negotiations, a nearby nightclub has been secured for $1.6M (pending zoning approval).
In this new 22,000 sq. ft. facility on 2.14 acres, we can serve 130 students — a massive leap in capacity and impact.
We need $2M
$1.6M by end of 2025 for purchase and
$400K by early 2026 for renovations
(costs may adjust based on city requirements).

Business Leaders Funding the Mission
80% of Grace’s operational budget has been sustained by a group of local business leaders. As we grow, we are looking to grow our Business Partners Council. The Council meets quarterly with the school principal and an appointed leader.
The 1.5+ acre empty lot across the street comes with the building and could be a source of support income. If you want to join the conversation of what that might entail, contact us.
