Grace Community Center started as a friendship between two local pastors in our community who shared a common desire to serve the West End of Sikeston. The merging of their two churches, one historically black and one historically white, created a single new congregation. Together they envisioned creating a space where people could gather and receive encouragement while being served with the love of Christ. To achieve this goal, they sold a building, sought out resources, and drew up plans; now the vision is becoming a reality. The two pastors serve on the Board of Directors for the Center and are excited to see how the Lord will use the Center for the good of the city.
