Grace Place is a dynamic church in Northern Colorado with heart for people who are far from God. This is a fantastic opportunity for a leader who is looking to lead volunteers and students towards Jesus while creating innovative and fun programming that reaches students outside of the church.
Grace Place is a regional congregation with people coming to gather from cities surrounding beautiful Berthoud CO. What started as a dream of lead pastor Clay Peck to plant a Gospel-Centered, creative and contemporary congregation which which reach out to the burned, bored, and bypassed, became a reality in 1996 with its first public worship service in a local high school. They quickly grew in numbers and consequent need of a home base to house their seven day a week ministry that builds bridges to the community through creative endeavors such as “The Trailhead Cafe” and many other missionary minded programs. Grace Place is clearly defined by the importance of keeping the gospel of grace “the main thing” and living out that grace in the community and neighborhoods surrounding them.
Their basic beliefs are centered in Christ and His message as found in and supported by the clearest passages of Scripture. More obscure doctrine or teachings with less support are left to individuals to sort out on their own- they take no official position in these areas. In essential beliefs they have UNITY. In non-essential beliefs they have LIBERTY. In all beliefs they have CHARITY.
“I love living in Berthoud because it does have a small-town feel, but it also has all the commodities of a bigger town, like shopping, nice parks with kids, the rec center, brewery, and cafes. The town is growing quickly which makes it a really great place for parents and as a young(er) adult I feel like the demographic is a lot of people my age and getting to be more so. It’s also a really central location so Fort Collins, Denver, Boulder, and Estes Park are all within an hour drive and for us, I-70 is also close if we want to go snowboarding or fly fishing or spend time in more mountain areas.”
