Grace Christian Church

Time is the most precious commodity of our lives. Pastor George Hazarbassanov & Pastora Puli gave us their undivided attention today for several hours. It was a little slice of heaven! We look forward to building a more beautiful friendship for years to come!

We enjoyed our spectacular meal at Lighthouse, the restaurant—event center owned and operated by our dear friend, Joseph Hazarbassanov! What a phenomenal place Joseph has created straight from his heart. He has such a beautiful, pure heart. He radiates the kindness and goodness of God and is a brilliant entrepreneur.

This Sunday, we have the pleasure of hosting our next guest speaker: Pastor Alfredo Hernandez!

Pastor Alfredo Hernandez is loved and honored by our congregation. His openness and love for people shine in his powerful ministry. His messages are filled with the power and grace of the Holy Spirit. His storytelling is second to none. We look forward to sharing his ministry with you. Please welcome Pastor Alfredo Hernandez.

Pastor George Hazarbassanov is an extraordinary leader in this generation who is greatly impacting the entire country of Bulgaria and beyond. We have been honored to preach in his powerful church, Christian Center Sofia. We preached on Sunday morning and will preach again on Wednesday night. Tomorrow we will have the privilege to spend quality time together. Looking forward to it!

We share our names, a great love for the kingdom of God & nice cars!

This Sunday is extra special as we welcome Pastor Jerry Goodmanson to deliver the word at our Labor Day Weekend Picnic!

Pastor Jerry Goodmanson has become a favorite at Grace Christian Church. His laid back friendly style is a welcome, comfort to the body of Christ. His love for Jesus and his open heart towards people endear him to so many. Please join us as we welcome Pastor Jerry Goodmanson.

For in this hope, we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

We have had such an amazing time with our dear Trinidadian family: Pastor Suneal Kanhai & Co!

We started out with a great breakfast at B & B Cafe with Levi Hendrickson.

We went on a prayer drive & Pastor Suneal prayed over the phone for our mayor & his son, Jon.

We went by and prayed for The Broadway Event Center, Hoffman Realty, and Sheriff Ryan Shea came by for a time of prayer & blessing! We were blessed to pray for our ALPD CSO’s & 1 of our officers.

What an incredibly blessed time in such a short visit. To God be the glory! The heavens are breaking open over our beautiful community!

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

-Philippians 2:3–4
