God is good.

We are so thankful for His abundant goodness and faithfulness. We are also deeply grateful for the generosity of our Grace Family--your sacrificial giving reflects hearts aligned with God's purposes and love for His work. And that kingdom work will continue stronger than ever, touching more lives than ever, thanks to your trust in the Lord's provision. We not only met but exceeded the operating budget goal set for this year. Because of that, the matching gift was activated.

As you may know, a few families felt a specific calling from the Lord, and discerned a desire not only to give generously to the work God is doing here at Grace, but also to invite others to join them in this effort. These families pledged to provide a match up to $300,000 for all operating fund gifts given to Grace in excess of our current 2025 collections target of $2,800,000.

We passed the collections target, and kept on going, even past the $300,000 mark!

There are still a few year-end checks to come in, but the as of 12/30/25, here are the numbers:

• 2025 Target Goal was $2,800,000

• Actual 2025 collections are $3,187,200 (as of 12/30/25)

• Amount over Target is $387,200

• Match Goal is $3,100,000

• Amount Over Match Goal is $87,200 (3%)

• Match Earned to Date is $300,000

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

A Note from Pastor Julia

I hope this finds you well and blessed and seeing God’s richest mercies in your life. We are so grateful for all that the Lord did in and through us last year, and we are excited to see how God will move in the year ahead. In September, we kicked off our ministry year with a vibrant ministry fair, where we learned each ministry area is committed to being EQUIPPED to share the Gospel where we live, work, and play. We started our Bible in a Year plan, to develop a thirst for Scripture and create habits in our daily lives to deepen our relationship with God. As we abide in His Word, we will look at how our next step, and our response to God’s call and generosity in our lives, can lead to blessings throughout our community and around the world.

We have seen God’s hands at work this year throughout the Westchase community as we SERVED though mentoring, working in the community garden and gathering back-to-school needs in our partnership schools. We built 65 beds for those without a place to sleep as a part of our annual Christmas for the City serve day. We joined with thousands in the community to WORSHIP at a beautiful Easter Camden Park celebration! We have seen every generation come together for WORSHIP at the Young Adults Worship Night, Activate for our students, VBS, Grace 812 and our Sunday services. Bible studies are flourishing TOGETHER with Christ-centered teaching and genuine community. God continues to bless His church and lives are being transformed.

You may make your pledge online HERE. Together, we will have the chance to respond to God’s call as an act of worship in the coming weeks, as we each submit our pledge cards either by mail, online, or in person. Our church family will dedicate these offerings on Sunday, November 16 during worship.

If you would like to see more about the 2026 budget, more detailed information is available HERE. 

In His Grip,
Julia Leeth, Senior Pastor

Make A Joyful Noise with the Grace Chancel Choir!
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; Come before him with joyful songs. --Psalm 100

You've seen the choir up on the chancel during Sunday worship, you've even sung along from the pews, but have you ever thought about joining in? Now is your chance! This fall, we are opening up the choir and inviting members of the congregation to join us in a limited number of rehearsals and on selected Sundays for worship. Singing is at the heart of our weekly worship; everyone has a voice to share, and we want to hear yours! This offering is your chance to meet those in the music ministry at Grace, experience the joy of coming together and singing in community, and serve the congregation in worship. All ages and ability levels are welcome to participate; no previous singing experience is necessary!

Learn more HERE.

We will be looking at where the 12 Steps are found in the Bible, while seeing applications to and for everyone of any time or demographic. 

What is Grace812?
We are a community of people with a desire to establish a meaningful relationship with God, gathering to share a meal and conversation about our spiritual journey and learning how to live the life God intended for each of us!

What is Grace812 about?
Grace812 is church done differently! All of us, at one time or another, have been faced with challenging life events. In these times, Grace812 is here to help us recover from trials as we trudge through the journey to a deeper life. Our help is because of THE GIFT of Grace from God. Our foundation is built upon THE TRUTH, the teachings of Jesus in the eight Beatitudes from the Bible. THE PATH is an intentional discipleship road map allowing us to live life fully.
