Under His Guidance
Over the last 34 years, God has continually expanded Grace Church. We have grown from humble beginnings in the Villa Fontana Apartments Club Room to our present 80-acre location on South Garnett. Membership has increased from 52 individuals to over 3000, but God has bigger and better plans for our congregation. Today we stand prepared to fulfill His vision; a vision which has culminated over the last three decades.
Our Mission
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. (Eph. 4:11-12)
Our objective is to equip saints for the work of the ministry. Under the leadership of Pastor Bob Yandian, Grace Church is known for its outstanding teaching of God’s Word. This reputation continues to fuel our growth. As our congregation expands, so must our facilities. Reducing our debt is crucial to making this happen.

Motivation
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children…
(Prov. 13:22)
When it is completed, our new auditorium will not only be a gift to the present congregation of Grace Church, but also to the next generation. There is no greater gift than the gift of eternity. Every penny given to this debt reduction program is a spiritual inheritance to bless generations to come.

Preparedness
For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost… (Luke 14:28)
We have envisioned a new auditorium dedicated specifically for use as a worship center since we first obtained our current location almost thirty years ago. It has taken many steps to reach this point. One final hurdle lies between us and the new auditorium. That hurdle is our current debt of approximately 7.5 million dollars. We are confident we can pay that debt off. The time is now.

The Ultimate Goal
And behold, I propose to build a house for the name of the Lord my God.
(1 Kings 5:5)
Our ultimate goal is to construct a 73,000 sq ft worship center, with seating for 2,500 people. However, we presently have a serious need to expand our North Lobby and improve the walkways to our other facilities. Ministering effectively to our current body of believers is key to eventually building the new auditorium. Our studies indicate these very necessary projects can be accomplished for approximately 1.5 million. This brings our total goal to 9 million dollars. We are believing God to then build the new auditorium debt free!

Responsibility
The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. (Prov. 18:15)
We’ll manage these projects with prudence and discretion. Financial responsibility is crucial. Our goal is to begin paying down our debt as the funds are given. We will take a small portion of what comes in and set it aside for the North Lobby. As soon as there is enough accumulated to begin construction, the remodeling of the North Lobby and walkways will begin. Therefore, your commitment to this project becomes paramount.

Our First Step - Prayer
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matt. 6:20)
During our Let’s Work Together campaign, each member will be asked to prayerfully consider making a two-year financial commitment. With God’s guidance, we have faith in the strength of the congregation to pull together and achieve this goal. As the world’s problems continue to escalate, God is on the threshold of harvesting more souls than during any time in history. Grace Church stands to be a major force for God’s work in Tulsa and surrounding communities. Pray for our pastor and leadership to hear the voice of God throughout this project. Pray that God will show each and every one of us the role we are to play in preparing our church for this end-time revival. Collectively, we will seek the will of God in making this vision a reality.
