What is your primary product or service?
Grace Ev. Lutheran Church exists to give glory to God for his undeserved love in Jesus by growing in faith, serving each other, and sharing God’s Word. Grace Ev. Lutheran School is dedicated to partnering with parents to make disciples of Jesus Christ, equipped for life and for eternity by providing a Christ-centered, high-quality education.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As a congregation, Grace Ev. Lutheran church and school has been truly blessed for over 85 years to share the good news of salvation through preaching, teaching and evangelism. We have many dedicated members and caring, committed called workers who work together faithfully to serve Christ’s kingdom. As a growing congregation and school we continue to experience both opportunities and challenges as we move forward in our ministry.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Grace Ev. Lutheran Church and School will teach our students that their earthly lives and their eternal futures are safe in the hands of their Savior, Jesus Christ. We will accomplish this while providing a safe, supportive, and loving Christian environment where teaching and learning is embraced. Our students will graduate well prepared to be actively involved in their church, home, school, and community. We will seek to nurture the faith of those who know their Savior and reach out with his love to those who don’t.
