Embrace Grace
“I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now”
Philippians 1:4b–5
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.
We invite you to prayerfully consider making a financial commitment to support the Embrace Grace campaign.
Your pledge can be fulfilled over time · you do not need to provide the full amount immediately.
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 offering 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.
