Our Story
For the last 22 years Grace for the Nation Church has been under the leadership of Pastor Tarence E. Lauchie accompanied by his wife, Lady Eva Lauchié. The spiritual growth & development and expansive reach of the ministry is largely attributed to the faithful members and dedicated determination of our leaders. As every church has its beginnings Grace for the Nation’s has evolved from foundation laid many years ago.
Building on the foundations laid by the late Superintendent James Holloway, and his wife, Margaret Holloway. Grace for the Nations Church is the evolution of the former Grace Pentecostal Church of God in Christ founded in 1950. Having had many names and multiple locations, the seeds of this ministry have grown to its current maturity, reaching the diverse people of the world, by teaching, biblical pinciples and life application of scriptures.
We’re here to help you know God personally, grow in your relationships and discover your purpose.
A Relationship With God
God wants to know us personally. More than just practicing religion, He wants a relationship with us.
Our weekend services are where we focus on that relationship. Whether you’re new to the faith, have questions, or have been a Christian for a long time, our services are a safe place to learn more about what it means to Know God and grow closer to Him.
Get Connected
We believe that true and lasting change comes within the context of relationships.
One of the ways God designed for us to live in freedom is to have people in our life to help us in the journey. Connecting with other in Growth Groups is a practical and enjoyable way to find that kind of life-changing community
Discover Purpose
Everyone, at some point, wonders who they are because it determines how we see ourselves. We know people come to church with many identities– some positive, some negative.
Our goal is for you to see yourself the way God sees you. Jesus, the Son of God, taught that we are children who are valued, forgiven and loved unconditionally in God’s eyes. We want you to think, trust and live knowing that you are a child of the Most High God so that you experience the goodness purposed for you here and now.
Make A Difference
Our mission at Grace for The Nations is to guide you in building a personal relationship with God. As you grow in this relationship, you’ll continually find more freedom in Christ and embrace the vision He has for your life.
