Chris' Interview With Early Attenders

YOUR GENEROSITY MAKES A DIFFERENCE

This 1.59 acres of land was purchased in 2019.

AFTER

We expanded our parking lot into the 1.59 acres of land adding an additional 130 parking spots.

This portion of the building was being occupied by a tenant who was operating in the space since Grace River purchased this building in 2019. The tenant recently moved out on September 30, 2023.

AFTER

We took over the 6,000 SF previously occupied by this tenant and repurposed this space for our new GraceKids Ministry wing. This renovation doubled our GraceKids Ministry space and provides fun, safe, and age-appropriate classrooms for kids to meet, know, and follow Jesus.

BEFORE
BEFORE

Our previous GraceKids area was often very crowded during the last two services. This same area overlapped with the area first-time guests were standing in when waiting to check in at New Here Start Here.

AFTER
AFTER

GraceKids Ministry moved over to the 6,000 SF previously used by our tenant, opening up more space for the lobby area, and greatly reduced the overall traffic in the main lobby.

BEFORE
BEFORE

With our continued growth, our last two Sunday services were often very crowded making it very difficult for new first-time guests to find a seat.

AFTER
AFTER

We expanded the auditorium to add an additional 130 seats, allowing us to continue with three Sunday worship services and give us the space to reach new people in our community with the Gospel.

BEFORE
BEFORE

With our continued growth, our previous lobby was overcrowded in between services on most weekends. People leaving service stuck around to connect with others, while those coming in the door were trying to check in and move to the auditorium.  This overcrowded situation was overwhelming for some new guests entering the building for the first time.

AFTER
AFTER

The renovation and expansion of our lobby space and moving GraceKids to their new wing helped our overall guest experience in the lobby. This opened up the space to give our guests the opportunity to connect and build community before and after each service.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I'VE NEVER REALLY GIVEN CONSISTENTLY. WHERE SHOULD I START?

After reviewing the Vision Guide Booklet, sit down with your family, and determine an amount or percentage of your income, and trust God with your giving. If you must choose between giving to the Generations Initiative and setting up a regular Sunday offering, choose the Generations Initiative. This initiative is completely focused on supporting our mission to Help More People Meet, Know, and Follow Jesus, and to reach generations to come.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MAKE MY GENERATIONS AND SUNDAY OFFERING DONATIONS?

Setting up all giving online is the easiest and a safe way to give, especially if giving on a recurring basis. You set it up once and it will continue processing on the frequency you chose until it reaches the end date you specified or when you turn it off.

If you want to give a Sunday Offering, then select the fund, GENERAL FUND. If you want to give to the Generations Initiative, then select the fund, GENERATIONS INTIATIVE. 

ARE THERE OTHER WAYS TO GIVE?

Yes. If you have an interest in giving property, stock, or other items of value or you would like to include Grace River Church as a beneficiary in your Will or Trust, please reach out to Pastor Chris at chrish@graceriver.cc to discuss.
