About Grace

Here are some questions people ask “About Grace”

What kind of church is Grace?

Grace Church is a non-denominational church in Chapel Hill, NC. We are part of a network of churches called Grace Churches International which has about 400 churches around the world.

How long has the church been around?

The church started in 1986. Jerry Daley was the founding pastor. We met at the Holiday Inn, Phillips Middle School, Village Plaza on Elliot Road, and moved into our current building (200 Sage Road) in 1997.

The vision has remained the same: know God and make Him known wherever we go.

How large is the church?

We have two services each Sunday with a total attendance of 500-600 people. The church is very relational, and the leaders are accessible. We value being real, down to earth, and authentic. The small church feel is experienced in our 80+ small groups. We have a big vision to impact our community. We plan to start two new services in the next two years in new locations.

Who attends Grace Church?

We love the diversity of people that God has sent to Grace Church. We have a large base of people in the 45+ age group, young families, a strong young adults group (18-35), many college students, and lots of students and kids.  20+ nations are represented. We translate our first service into Spanish each Sunday. We’re young and old. We’re black, Asian, white, Hispanic, and African. We’re poor and rich. We’re white collar and blue collar. We’re democrats, republicans, and independents. We’re all learning to love and follow Jesus!
