Welcome To Grace

Maricopa churches

Welcome to Grace Fellowship Church in Maricopa, AZ. We have three main values at Grace: Jesus, People, and Mission. The Grace of God is demonstrated through the person and work of Jesus Christ. We are a Fellowship of people changed by Jesus and who follow Him together. Our desire is to pursue and love all people. We believe that we have a missional mandate from Jesus to make disciples until His return.

We invite you to follow Jesus with us!

“But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)”
