Experience God's Radical Love

at Grace Place NIU

A Faith Community Where YOU Belong!

You have been surrounded, your whole life, by faith communities that dictate how you think and what you believe in. That approach often minimizes who God is and potentially stops you from being who God created you to be. It is just plain hurtful.

When you have been hurt by the church or have seen someone you love being hurt by the church, the easiest thing to do is run the other way.

We want to invite you to engage in a NEW and wonderful way!

YOU are Welcome at Grace Place

As a community we firmly believe that God loves everyone and creates us with our own unique gifts. In celebration of God's radical love, we welcome everyone of any sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, and walk of life. Recognizing that we are all born into sin, we are committed to doing the work of being an anti-racist community, learning how we can better serve our neighbors.
