Grace Community Evangelical Free Church
About Us
Grace Community Church was established in 1980. Several local families had been impressed with the ministry of Camp Spofford (also affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America). They sought to form a local church with the same distinctive emphases on the Bible and on a personal relationship with Christ which were evident in the camp's ministry. After meeting in the Spofford Grange Hall for a number of years, we moved into our present building on Old Swanzey Road in 1988.
Grace Community Church is an Evangelical Free Church, a denomination which traces its American roots back to the 1880's. There are over 1200 Evangelical Free Churches in America and about 50 in New England.
"Evangelical" refers to our emphasis on the Evangel (which means Good News) message that God loves us and offers us a personal relationship through Jesus Christ. "Free" refers to our form of church government as being congregational. In other words, Free Churches depend upon the active participation of the lay people in the decisions and directions of the local church.
