Everything we do flows from this purpose: to glorify Jesus Christ through Spirit-empowered discipleship and gospel-centered ministry.

Grace Church serves diverse communities through multiple campuses, including Middleburg Heights, Olmsted Falls, Lorain Correctional Institute, Grace en Español and several affiliated cultural and language-specific congregations. Our Middleburg Heights campus serves as our central hub for regional ministry, staff operations, global outreach, and digital ministry. Olmsted Falls is a deeply relational, family-oriented campus rooted in long-term community presence. Our Lorain Correctional campus is a powerful expression of the gospel behind prison walls, marked by discipleship, pastoral care, and spiritual renewal. Grace en Español and our cultural congregations reflect our deep commitment to cross-cultural ministry and accessible, multicultural worship.

As a church community, Grace is known for healing ministries, discipleship, authentic worship and prayer, and a strong commitment to church health and unity. Grounded in our Alliance theology, we proclaim Jesus as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King, and we desire that every ministry and decision reflects His heart. Our longing is to see lives transformed by the power of the Gospel and the presence of the Holy Spirit, for the good of our city and the glory of Christ.

Grace has over 4,000 in weekly attendance across campuses and online, with approximately 1,800 members. Each year, Grace is blessed to celebrate hundreds of people putting their faith in Jesus, becoming baptized, and diving into deeper life with Christ.
