Why we don’t hold church at the Grace Centre

It’s a question that we often get asked and each time we tell people that we don’t hold church services at the Grace Centre because we want our local community to experience what it means to be loved by our church without any strings attached. We decided when we purchased the old Rokeby Tavern that we would create a meeting place for our local community, something that everyone could be proud of and benefit from. If we were to have church there then some people would think that we were only fixing the place up to grow our church and get people through our doors. By not having church at the Centre it takes our motive off the table as we’re not looking to benefit from the good that we do in our local community. Hopefully by putting our blood, sweat and tears where our mouths are, people will realise that we really do care about our community and maybe in some small way, we can then through our actions, point them towards the love that God has for each and every one of them.
