Church Council

Grace Lutheran Church is made up of people set free, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, who are now free to follow the Holy Spirit's call into ministry in the world.  Grace's staff supports everyday ministry working together as a team with all the members of Grace encouraging and supporting members in their ministry through fellowship, worship, service, outreach, and discipleship. Ten members of Grace are elected to serve as the congregation council, to oversee and coordinate all of the ministries of Grace
Lutheran Church.  Please contact church office, 238-4418, for older copies.
