Communications Director


We exist to glorify God by making disciples of all nations. 

We do this by inviting people into the journey of discipleship. Connecting them to Christ and his church. Growing them up in the faith. Equipping them to serve the church and the watching world.

To do this, we must effectively communicate to people at all stages of this journey. From the first time a member of the community hears about Grace, to their first visit, to a next-step experience, to membership, to serving... every one of these steps can break down if we don't communicate the right things to the right people in a compelling and clear way.
