Pave the Way began as a bold step of faith; a campaign to raise $494,000 to repave and restore our parking lot, but God had more in store for us than we could ask or imagine.

Through the incredible generosity of the Grace Church family, $797,516 has been pledged toward the Pave the Way project so far. 

Because of that faithfulness, we have been able to dream beyond the original need and invest in spaces that will impact generations to come.

The initial ask of the Pave the Way campaign was simple but significant: to raise $494,000 to repave and restore our parking lot.

At Grace Church, we believe even something as practical as a parking lot can help people better access Jesus.

Over the years, our parking lot has fallen into a state of disrepair. Cracks, uneven surfaces, and aging pavement create challenges for families, guests, and those visiting our church for the very first time.

In fact, one focus group shared that the condition of our parking lot was one of the reasons they felt hesitant about visiting Grace Church.

That feedback challenged us.

We never want a physical barrier to keep someone from walking through our doors and encountering the love of Jesus.

The parking lot may seem like asphalt, but it represents something much deeper; removing barriers so people can encounter Jesus and experience the welcoming love of Grace Church.

Pave the Way is not really about asphalt; it’s about people.
It’s about making room for the lives God is bringing to Grace Church and removing barriers so more people can experience the love of Jesus.

But this project is also about what God does in us as we step forward together in faith. As we pray, trust God, and give sacrificially, He grows us. Our faith deepens. Our trust increases.
And our love for God and people expands as we continue to see lives changed by the Gospel.

Pave the Way meets practical needs for our church, but it is also an opportunity for God to grow us spiritually as a church family.

Repaving our parking lot creates a safer, more welcoming environment that helps new families and guests better access the Gospel at Grace Church.

One of the remaining dreams of this project is creating a brand-new playground for the children and families of Grace Church.

Right now, our current playground literally has a “Play at Your Own Risk” sign posted on it. While it has served families for many years, we believe our kids deserve better. We want to create a safe, welcoming, and joy-filled space that reflects how much we value the next generation.

More than equipment, this playground represents connection, laughter, discipleship, and creating memories for years to come.
So far, $43,516 has been pledged toward the playground project, 

Take time to talk with God about your role in the Pave the Way project. Ask Him how He might lead you to participate.

Once you have prayed and sensed how God is leading you, make your pledge. Your pledge helps us plan the project and move forward together as a church.

Follow through on what God has placed on your heart—your faithful giving turns your pledge into impact, helping make room for the next person to encounter Jesus.
