The Grace Place Testimonies
Why we love The Grace Place...
This is a positive, spiritual, active place of worship...
In May of 2002, I relocated to Stuart after residing in the Miami / Ft. Lauderdale area my entire life. Shortly after, I began my search for a new church home. Having been an elder in a traditional style church, I fully intended to stay on that track. God had other plans — as I visited other churches, I felt that "traditional" is not what God had in mind for me. The Grace Place was the fourth church on my list. The Sunday morning in June that I first attended The Grace Place, worship was awesome. A second visit confirmed that God had led me to a very special, positive, spiritual and active place of worship. In the months since first attending The Grace Place, it's rare that I miss a weekend service.
Getting involved in the Single (30+) and Men's Study groups has been very critical in both my spiritual and personal life. As I look back on the 11th year of my Christian / Faith journey, The Grace Place has been a very positive force in my life. I've been blessed to be baptized, serve on the Frontline Team and help out with the Singles group. ~ Eric C. Olson
It was the genuine concern and relevant messages...
At first it was the concern of Pastor Rick for a community issue, then the discovery that he and his church family were genuinely concerned about me and keeping me in prayer as the District County Commissioner. Upon visiting the church I discovered what I needed and wanted in my life...consistency in the pastoral messages which were rooted in the Word of God. The multi-media presentations (music and drama) were relevant to the Word and the anointed preaching with the "scripted notes" helped to provide even more background on the sermons. The warm, caring feeling that I get from the church family is so special to me. A recent illness/recovery was shared through prayers, phone calls and visits by the pastoral staff and other members. I have been a Grace Place member since September 2000, but I really feel that I have been around for much longer...there are so many ministries which I look forward to sharing with my family. ~ Elmira R. Gainey-Gates
We've been at The Grace Place for 23 years...
The Grace Place is an integral part of our lives. We have attended and been involved for 23 years. Though in the past the church has been through some ups and downs, we have always been aware of God's hand on the church.
We both find it amazing that we are now reaping and living the results of the dreams, goals and work put into the church years ago.
Worshipping here where God's word has faithfully been preached, we have received wisdom for raising our family, guidance for our spiritual maturity, and opportunities for service and use of our gifts.
Having lived through the history of the church, we now feel challenged and excited to see the next level God has for The Grace Place. ~ Dave and Linda Cantrell
It's warm, friendly, caring and contemporary...
We love The Grace Place because of its warm, friendly atmosphere, quality music, and contemporary style of worship. The Grace Place is a church that openly loves and accepts everyone for who they are and there is a genuine attitude of care and concern on the part of the congregation and the pastoral staff. We really appreciate the fact that the gospel is made relevant without compromise through music, drama, and anointed preaching and teaching. ~ Dick and Kathy Wilson
The Grace Place has walked with me through many life changes...
I started attending The Grace Place when I noticed the sign on US 1. I was looking for a church that had Saturday evening services and that is what the sign offered. I had been a member of a traditional church for the past 30 years and being new to the area and recently widowed, I was going through a lot of adjustment. I felt that I had lost my home, familiar job, loving church, and beloved husband of thirty years. Since I have been getting involved at The Grace Place, I feel acceptance, balanced, and confident that God is revealing His plan for my life (Psalm 32:8), through His people. I get really excited each time I read over the "goals and strategies" of the church for the next three years. The Grace Place offers an opportunity to grow through the "Life Grow" groups, in addition to opportunities to contribute through the many ministries of the church. The services address relevant topics that help me to stay focused on God's plan for my life where I am today. I feel as if God has drawn me back into His family, as I experience the love of His people. ~ Pat Lesser
