Who We Are!

Amazing Grace Christian Church is a Non-Denominational Christian Church based out of the Restoration Movement of Churches.  Our mission is to make disciple of Jesus, transforming lives one at a time through intentional relational environments.  We accomplish our mission through

• Connecting with God and one another,
• Thriving in our walk with God and one another, and
• Going into our community to reach others with the transforming message of Jesus.

Amazing Grace currently has Sunday services at 9:30 and 11:00 am. We have one location on 21 acres in Grove City, Ohio, one of the fastest growing communities in the state.  The church, of nearly 300 people, is positioned for growth to reach people from all walks and stages of life. We are an inter-generational church, desiring to reach families and singles in our community and greater Columbus, Ohio region.

Taylorville Christian Church is a 55-year-old church in a small Illinois town (pop. 11,000). Pre-COVID, we averaged 340 on Sunday morning. Though we haven’t gotten back to where we were before the pandemic, we are making strides and adding back programming all the time. We’re excited about the changes that we’ve made to reach people in new ways over the past year, but we also believe that we have a great opportunity to connect with people as we continue in the process of regathering.

We’ve had a variety of worship styles over the years and currently have a classic service and a contemporary service. Our current Worship Minister is retiring, though he’s been semi-retired for a couple of years now and has been leading only the classic service.

What we know is that we have a group of dedicated volunteers in both services that need new leadership and a vision for engaging people in meaningful worship. We’ve got the resources to do some really good things, but leadership will be key moving forward. So, we’re seeking someone who can take us to the next level in this area of ministry.
