Good foundational teachings of the Word of God; supports the community. The Pastors, elders & deacons are smart & intriguing but also genuinely concerned for your well being as well as each member and their families. Been a member since 1998.

Oh how I love this place! Grace and Peace is a warm, inviting body of believers that keep Christ and His Kingdom first. The teaching is biblical and godly, uncompromising. The pastoral team is top-notch: genuine, loving people that serve God and His people. They seek the Lord continually and are in tune with His spirit. The youth and children's ministries here are exceptional. I'm forever grateful for all the ways that God has used The Church of Grace and Peace in my life. Check it out yourself! :)

Great church! Everybody was so friendly and welcoming. We felt it as soon as we came in. What Great music!, Thought provoking sermon. When leaving asked if we like the service and prayed for/with us. What church should be like.

This church brought me back to the Lord. Pastor Walt Healy is an amazing teacher and is a truly wonderfully human person. I love how welcoming everyone here is. The children’s ministry is full of loving members that have been thoroughly background checked so you know your kids are safe (safe kid church). I wish I found them early. Come and spend some time here & maybe you will find the family you where looking for.

Amazing church like no other!! By the Grace of God He has directed my steps toward Grace and Peace church! As our steps sometimes drift away , I got rebaptized in the ocean at a different church. Still yearning for the complete fullness of God, He returned me like a sheep lost I a meadow. Thank you Jesus! Be Blessed...

Nothing better than praise music at Grace and Peace! Pastor Walt and Pastor Jim teach the word from the bible. Hate the sin not the sinner. No politics here. Missionaries. Preach occasionally. Healing services first Sunday evening of the month. My knee was/is healed!!! Visit. You'll come back. Wednesday service also.

Great warm atmosphere ...everyone was welcoming and sincere. Preaching was on point too.. convenient Wednesday night service for those that can't make it on Sundays.... or for those that just want more Jesus halfway through the week! God bless!
