Our History
Grace Chapel began as an outreach to children by a school teacher named Anna Rhett Holladay. She and her mother went throughout the community on Sunday afternoons to pick up children and bring them to the Oakdale School for Bible lessons. Interest grew among adults as well and Grace Chapel was created. To this day, we exist to help people find and follow Jesus. We are in a season of renewed passion and commitment to worshipping God, investing in children and youth, growing deeper in His word and equipping people to engage and serve others.
Grace Chapel is a place where you'll be welcomed, encouraged and befriended before you leave. We look forward to meeting you.
Leadership
We're thankful to have an amazing group of people who serve in various leadership roles at Grace Chapel. Each one pours hours of time every week to provide community, resources or use their gifts that God has provided. Please visit our leadership page to learn more. We are currently rebuilding our general ministries area and hope to have it live soon!
