EMBRACE GRACE

Grace at Fort Clarke Church has withstood broad changes over the last decade — adapting during the pandemic, growing through disaffiliation, and thriving through the challenges that modern culture places on the Christian church. Amid ongoing upheaval, Grace has remained a beacon of hope, faith, truth and service in the Gainesville community.

Now, we face a critical crossroads—and your support can lead us into a powerful new chapter.

The Mission

To eliminate $500,000 in debt over the next two years, freeing our church to expand the reach and impact of our ministries.

Why It Matters

Debt is not just a financial concern — it is a barrier to purpose. By relieving this burden, we unlock the full potential of Grace Church to:

• Build new and renovate existing buildings to provide a larger fellowship hall and kitchen, more classrooms and multi-purpose recreation space, to accommodate the growing opportunities we are experiencing in west Gainesville and at Grace
• Upgrade our worship center and streaming ministry with needed light and sound equipment
• Add needed staff positions including an associate pastor and interns
• Explore a Christian school inclusive of students of all abilities
• Birth and launch a second campus or daughter church

You Can Be the Difference

This isn’t just a campaign – it is a movement rooted in faith, generosity, and grace extended. Let’s build the future of Grace Church together.

The Plan

Here’s how we plan on raising $500,000:

• 10 lead gifts of $10,000+: $150,000
• 30 mid-tier gifts of $5,000+: $150,000
• 100+ general gifts of $1,000+: $100,000
• Broad base ($25–$999 range): $100,000

Join us

We are inviting our congregation, local leaders, and mission-minded friends to invest in this future. Together, we can turn financial restoration into spiritual revitalization.
