Grace Church was founded more than 12 years ago. Its history is striking evidence of the God directed changes in both our country and city. The Glory of God shines through the church to the surrounding world.
The presence of the Living and Saving God is what we value most of all. Our treasures are saved people, each of whom God himself has brought into the church. We are open to everyone who is searching for God. We are ready to share the Word of God with all those who come to us for fellowship.

It is worth learning more about Grace Church. It grew from a small group of believers in June 1993 to 500 in 2007. God helped us obtain an abandoned kindergarten property and to convert it into an excellent complex of buildings which includes the House of Prayer (sanctuary), Sunday School building, Charitable Dining Hall and the Children’s Shelter.
More than one hundred children learn the Bible in our Sunday School. It is a program designed to help families in the upbringing of their children.
.
A successful Bible School functions to train and equip our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who feel God’s call to serve Him at Grace and beyond its walls.
.
Charitable dining room is an excellent opportunity not only to prepare food for the children from our church orphanage, but also to feed those who are in need.
The House of Prayer is a place where our worship services, small prayer group meetings, and Bible study are held. The music program of Grace Church gives praise to God through music and the singing of hymns and songs.
.
The Children’s Shelter is home for more than 30 children between the ages of 2 and 18. Through God’s guidance, two Christian families have devoted themselves to bring hope, love and happiness to these children by acting as house parents. To help support the Shelter, Grace Church purchased a farm where we grow vegetables and fruits and raise chickens and pigs.
.
Grace Church preaches the Word of God not only within the walls of our buildings but also through missionary teams who work in several areas of the Odessa region. We do not forget that we are called by God to serve each other and those around us. In recent years several new churches have been planted and continue to be actively supported by Grace.
