Twelve neighbors, one living room — and now a church family of more than a thousand.
Grace Hill began in 1987 when twelve neighbors started meeting for prayer in a living room on Edgewood Avenue. A few years later they restored an old white church on the corner — the same building we meet in today.
We are a non-denominational Christian church. We believe in Jesus, read the Bible together, and try to love our neighbors in practical ways, from Saturday groceries to mentoring students.
