Mission + Vision
Values + Key Distinctions
I love this church! When I first drove onsite at Grace Church Reno, I was blown away. It’s a beautiful, multi-building church surrounded by gorgeous mountains. Then I met the people and was sold. They are a group loaded with talent and sold out for Christ. They are praying and waiting for an amazing Creative Arts Pastor to join the mission and reach thousands more.
Grace Church Reno is an amazing church of 2500 people located in beautiful Nevada. Their heart for the lost and passion for their community has led them to incredible outreach and growth. Their philosophy of ministry centers on loving Jesus first, supporting one another, and actively following Christ in every aspect of life.
Their mission emphasizes community, both within the church and the larger Reno area, aiming to share the transformative love of Jesus through genuine relationships. The church focuses on connecting people with Christ and each other, offering a welcoming space for all.
Initiatives like “For The One” highlight their commitment to reaching out with compassion, particularly in areas like mental health and community generosity. Additionally, Grace recognizes the unique challenges of living in an unchurched community. They prioritize outreach and building bridges to those who may not have a relationship with Jesus, offering a space for individuals to explore faith in a non-judgmental, supportive environment.
Life in the Reno-Tahoe area is a beautiful blend of outdoor adventure and tight-knit community. Between the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the stunning Lake Tahoe, this region offers a year-round playground for nature lovers. Residents enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and skiing in the winter, with breathtaking views around every corner. The clear blue waters of Lake Tahoe provide opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating during the summer months. Beyond the outdoor activities, the area fosters a strong sense of community, with frequent local events such as farmers’ markets, outdoor concerts, and art festivals.
