October 2026

This month we look back to the beginning of Grace — and forward, in prayer.

Welcome to our October RENEW update! Six months after we moved out of 440 Ridge, the building is changing week by week — steel is going up, walls are taking shape, and the sanctuary is being readied for renewal.

But before we walk the site, we pause to remember where all of this began. Craig Notari, one of Grace’s original members, gives us a glimpse of the beginning of Grace — and shares his prayers for our church as we transition through RENEW.

Listen to Craig’s message, take a look at our most recent updates below, and join us in prayer.

Please Join Us in Prayer

As the work continues at 440 Ridge, we bring it to the Lord together.

Praise God
  • Clean dirt! Through all of our excavation, we have not run into problems
  • Good weather and very little rain — the work has been able to keep moving
  • Lightning struck the building while crews were working and a meeting was under way — and nobody was hurt (what a memory!)
Pray With Us
  • Continued good weather conducive to building
  • That we continue not to run into any new problems
  • Wisdom for the decisions that need to be made along the way
  • Safety for the crews on site
