About Us
Grace Chapel began as an outreach to children by a school teacher named Anna Rhett Holladay. She and her mother went throughout the Dixiana community on Sunday afternoons in the late 1930s to pick up children and bring them to what was then the Oakdale School for Bible lessons. Interest grew on the part of adults in the community as well, and Grace Chapel was organized in October of 1940. Now in our 80th year, the Grace Chapel of today will continue to pursue our calling to lead people to both "Know Christ . . . and make him known!"
