What is The Grace Center?

"For I was hungry
and you gave Me food;
I was thirsty
and you gave Me drink;
I was a stranger
and you took Me in;
I was naked and you clothed Me;
I was sick and you visited Me;
I was in prison
and you came to Me."
Matthew 25:34-36

G.R.A.C.E.  — God's Riches At Christ's Expense

      In March of 2005, the Coweta Ministerial Alliance announced a desire to have one central location where churches could minister to the town through benevolent ministries by providing area residents in need with emergency services. This vision became The Grace Center.

     The Grace Center is a united expression of our desire to be the hand of Jesus Christ reaching out and touching lives with God's love. There are many different reasons why needs arise, and we believe that by ministering to a physical need, a door is opened for us to also minister to any spiritual need.
