At Grace Church, our focus is to Love Jesus, Build People, and Lead Revival. The Thrive Initiative launched in 2021 as a three-year plan through June 30, 2024 to raise $3.7M toward the renovation and optimization of our facility. Over the past two and a half years, we have received nearly $2.2M in pledges and donations toward this goal. As a result, we are now approximately two-thirds of the way through the renovation of our facility!
Since the Thrive initiate launched, we have seen more than 130 individuals put their faith in Jesus for the first time, dozens recommit their lives to Him, and many stories of Christ-centered transformation. Simultaneously, Grace Church has nearly doubled in size, and many new people have joined our church family. We have truly begun a new church lifecycle!
But the renovation is not yet complete. As we move forward, we set our sights on the goal of finishing the campaign. As construction costs continue to increase, we have adjusted our final goal appropriately. We need an additional $1.9 million to finish the job. We are therefore extending the duration of the campaign by 12 months.
Your financial commitment is not merely an investment in bricks and mortar. It is an investment in the future lives that will continue to be transformed by the gospel. As we press on toward this goal, let us be inspired by the lives already changed and anticipate the countless more that will be touched by His grace in the years to come. Together, we are writing a story of faith, hope, and the transformative power of the gospel.
If you would like to be involved in the physical rejuvenation of the church building. We have many serving opportunities from the least skilled to most advanced. The work will be spread out as we work through the building in phases, so the service dates will not be regular.

Grace is committed to making substantial strides forward in reaching emerging generations while at the same time empowering our older saints to be a vital part of our future. If there has ever been a time when God’s Church needs to come alive, it’s today! We have seen a pandemic, troubling cultural phenomena, and countless recent hardships which have rattled the foundation of life as we know it. This has brought a fresh reminder that the local church, acting as the hands and feet of Jesus, is the means that God intends to use to reach humanity.
We are called to love God, love people, and radically influence our world for Jesus. The leadership at Grace is committed to ensuring that Grace continues to be a beacon for Christ in Lancaster County. God has moved in miraculous ways through this church and will continue to do so for generations to come. The best days of Grace aren’t behind us. They’re ahead! We will truly become a House of Champions where Youth People can Thrive and ensure that the ministry of Grace Church continues long into the future. We will resource kids and youth with renewed vigor while simultaneously blessing and empowering our older saints as a critical part of the process. We ask that you prayerfully consider giving toward the Thrive Capital Campaign. We truly value each of you and thank you for being part of the Grace Church family.
